There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

'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.

One of the worst movies, I've seen. So not funny, no straight story - more like random scenes to get the movie to a new Filmset. Save your time...

Which is a shame, because I have been a fan of Goldie Hawn ever since the Laugh In days and "Overboard" and "Private Benjamin" are pearls of my film collection. But this film doesn't work on any level, despite a few funny moments, and most of it is painful to watch - it's too weak even to be offended by; just a huge disappointment.

Emily's plans for couple's vacay with her BF Michael hit a snag, they broke up just before the trip. She decided instead to use it as an opportunity to bond with her mother, Linda, and off they went to the off-the-beaten-touristy-spot Ecuador.I haven't seen any of Ms. Schumer's previous work on TV and film so no basis really in comparing how low she stooped in taking on the role of Emily. Emily's scenes though in the fast food restaurant scene where she is being dumped by her boyfriend Michael (Randall Park) and the Ecuadorian bar where she struck up a conversation with a stranger James (Tom Bateman) are the ones that can be considered to be the least unfunny throughout the film. Comedic performance-wise, of the scenes I just mentioned, I thought it was satisfactory. But then, it all goes downhill definitely after that. The tapeworm scene, the rock bottom. Icks.And as for Ms. Hawn playing the over-protective mom, she definitely took a dive on this one, just awful to see a decent actress go this far. But I guess she's very much game if it meant that she can join Schumer in take jabs at some of the things that needed to be poked fun at. This is a Hollywood film that is marketed towards the American audience. And as a non-American who lives in the tropics, I have to say, Hawaii does a pretty good job in serving as a stand-in for the rest of the tropical world. There's no shame in admitting if one can't spot much of a difference, really.Made me chuckle here and there in certain parts of the film, but overall, not really much a good feeling after having watched this. Or perhaps that's because I watched this flick alone instead of the intended being best seen in the multiplexes or at home together with one's friends or family. The movie's nasty streak is the thread by which it hangs on to pass itself off as not totally a wasted effort from the filmmakers, so...My rating: C-minus.
