Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
dromasca 'Snatched' should have been an event. Goldie Hawn, the beautiful, smart and daring comic star of my younger days is back on the big screens after 15 years of absence. She's starring in an action comedy, she pairs with Amy Schumer, a very en-vogue stand-up comedian and big screen actress from the young generation, writer and director Jonathan Levine is at the helm, Goldie's looks in her 70s would be the envy of most women in their 40s, so all premises are in place for a sparkling return. Yet, the film is just OK. What doesn't work?The poster says that the movie was released on Mother's Day in the US, and this is probably were the source of it's problems are. It tries to be both screenable and watchable on Mother's day, but also include the sex jokes we expect from the stand-up star, to be sexy and thrilling without showing too much sex or blood. In other words, there are more hints about the movie wanting to be daring than any content that is really funny or surprising.I found the Hawn - Schumer couple to work pretty well on screen in their mother and daughter roles. Maybe there is no spectacular chemistry between them, but both are great professionals and beautiful ladies, each in her own style. The film fails mainly because of the script. Colonial jokes about South America and family comedy mixed with profanities are not enough. With some more comic or emotional chutzpah this could have been a memorable movie. Maybe Levine and her colleagues were too respectful for Goldie Hawn. I hope that there will be a 'next film' for her, and I hope that she will encourage her future collaborators to dare more.
Kaptain Bluddflagg So I want to premise this by saying that I wasn't a huge Schumer fan when I decided to watch this. I didn't dislike her, but I've never been tempted to watch any of her specials. I tried to keep an open mind and just enjoy a silly movie, but I have to say that after watching this I really do find her very unpleasant.I want so bad to say that this is just a fun, silly movie that you shouldn't take seriously. That you can just sit back with some popcorn and enjoy it. I can't say that, though, because the movie just isn't good. It's bad. It's not funny.There are a couple of moments that did make me laugh, but they came from other actors with much smaller parts, not from either Hawn or Schumer; there isn't an official grading system for comedies, but when your starts aren't making the audience laugh in a comedy you have failed.
feyipuk I watched this based on IMDB; Goldie Hawn, Joan Cussack, even Tom Bateman (great in DaVinci's Demons) and Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: SVU). What's not to like? Unfortunately, when it came to the script it's a paint by numbers comedy; bit of nudity, bit of misunderstanding a heavy foreign accident, some light hearted macabre actions, make fun of the attractiveness of the actresses. For me though, the most annoying aspect of the film is that Joan Cussack doesn't have a speaking role, though as she's paired with Wanda Sykes she makes up for both of them. The pay off at the end of the film is predictable, but nice to watch and if you realise that's coming through out the film it makes it slightly easier to watch. I could see it being issued by the government to all first time American travellers going to far flung foreign places; if you get in trouble, this is what we do (at least the first hour of the film, anyway)
kookybooboo I laughed so much, Goldie made this movie. Not a big fan of Amy Schumer so I was reluctant to watch it and wouldn't have if it weren't for Goldie.
