I love Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn too actually so I had high hopes for Snatched, the new comedy they're in, and that Amy is an executive producer of.
Alas, Snatched was a big ol' let down.
Goldie Hawn is a great actress and Amy Schumer is a good actress but neither are good enough to lift this into really enjoyable territory. To be fair, there is definitely some good laughs. I laughed out loud quite a few times but the storyline... oh boy. They play mother (Linda) and daughter (Emily) on holiday in Ecuador after Emily's boyfriend dumps her and she's fired from her job. They wind up victims of a kidnap plot and madness ensues. At various times through the jungle-based madness Goldie's hair get a spruce up, annoyingly.
Plenty of comedies have dumb plots and somehow survive that (Anchorman, for example) but this just doesn't. I'm not sure why. There was a group of six women sitting near me and listening to them discuss it afterwards I felt vindicated. They thought it was really ordinary.
news.com.au gave it just two stars so I feel further vindicated. There's some reviews that are a little more positive but I haven't seen any that are glowing. I guess my view is that it's pleasant enough to watch if it pops up on TV or something, but that I can't say I'd recommend rushing out to the cinema to pay $20+ to see it.
Trailer here. In cinemas now.
