Comedy After her boyfriend dumps her on the eve of their exotic vacation, impetuous dreamer Emily Middleton (Amy Schumer) persuades her ultra-cautious mother, Linda (Goldie Hawn) to travel with her to paradise. Polar opposites, Emily and Linda realize that working through their differences as mother and daughter - in unpredictable, hilarious fashion - is the only way to escape the wildly outrageous jungle adventure they have fallen into.

	Author	Review
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"Schumer and Hawn know what funny looks and sounds like (...) To put it bluntly: They're worth watching even in junk like this."	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Even if you do love Amy Schumer, you have to follow her into an aggressively cartoonish mother-daughter vacation-from-hell comedy that never strays far from the fractious, one-note surface."	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Often amusing but rarely shifting into a higher comedic gear (...) [It has] some delightfully goofy moments of stray hilarity, yet not enough story or heart to keep this thin tale afloat."	NEU
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"There are plenty of worse comedies out there, but 'Snatched' has that vexing air of disappointment to it (...) An uninspired, scattershot disaster romp"	NEG
United States	Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"'Snatched' may represent a failure of sensitivity, but it’s an even greater failure of nerve."	NEG
United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"One dull trip (...) The only thing snatched here was an hour-and-a-half of my life (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	David Edelstein Vulture	"'Snatched' doesn’t know what to do with its premise or its stars"	NEG
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"An otherwise unremarkable comedy marks the welcome return of one of the genre's greatest."	NEU
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"[An] unfunny movie (...) 'Snatched' is about as cheap and disposable as a tourist trap tchotchke."	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Ah, such a missed opportunity (...) [It] has some moments, but never fulfills its promise (...) The big action climax is not particularly well-conceived or well-staged, and the epilogue is equally unsatisfying."	NEG
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"Mediocre 'Snatched' is a messy miss for Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn (...) It fumbles because neither of the characters are particularly likable."	NEG
