In a curious way, Snatched is a little like an Amy Schumer stand-up routine: sometimes edgy, occasionally hilarious, and lessened by the bits that fall flat. Read full review

If your tastes run to the rude, crude and pleasantly bizarre—the laughs are there, doing the heavy lifting for a story that barely is. Read full review

Often amusing but rarely shifting into a higher comedic gear, Snatched features fun chemistry between co-stars Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn, some delightfully goofy moments of stray hilarity, yet not enough story or heart to keep this thin tale afloat. Read full review

Snatched is one of those movies that feels like a rough draft of itself. A few more rewrites, a few more laughs, a little (well, a lot) more attention, and maybe it would have been an amusing summer comedy. Read full review

What we’ve gotten in Snatched is an uninspired, scattershot disaster romp that mostly serves the talents of one half of the marquee pairing, underuses the other half, and struggles to blend R-rated humor, foreign misadventure, and oil-and-water mother-daughter dynamic into a cohesive diversion.

Snatched may represent a failure of sensitivity, but it’s an even greater failure of nerve. Read full review

IndieWire Kate Erbland

Pairing up talented comedians like Hawn and Schumer with a wacky plotline to match should spell comedy gold, but Snatched is about as cheap and disposable as a tourist trap tchotchke. Read full review

There are three types of American mainstream comedies. I will call them entry level (no talent, no good material), middle class (some talent, not enough good material) and top-shelf (enough talent and good material).
All of them are rather dirty, of course. What self-respecting modern comedy would not show or talk about genitals, sex, masturbation, farting, getting drunk etc, am I right or am I right?
„Snatched“ is a middle class efforts which gives us the second starring role of Amy Schumer, the up and coming funny woman type movie star previously seen in Judd Apatow’s „Trainwreck“.
I haven’t seen her stand up routines, but as an actress, she’s feels something like a new improved Melissa McCarthy or Lena Dunham.
Meaning she looks sexier and does not try to outgross us at every possible turn (at least not so much). But she’s still here to make us laugh with the power of dirty and embarrassing jokes.
„Snatched“ was released just before Mothers Day (on 19th of May in Estonia) and marketed like a girl power comedy, but it’s still essentially a entertainment solely for boys.
The more intelligent female viewers will probably not find much to laugh at (except at how stupid everything is), or will even hate Schuumer’s character for being so moronic.
Luckily for the makers of this movie, I am not one of the more intelligent female viewers, and I have always enjoyed dirty American comedies, even if most of them are setting the bar pretty low.
So I gotta admit that I enjoyed most of „Snatched“ although it doesn’t aim high and overall feels lightweight. Nobody’s trying that hard and there’s just a series of sketches instead of a something clearly resembling a cohesive unit called movie.
But just like in Adam Sandler’s comedies, the performers have enough charm to pull us through and entertain us mildly until the end credits start to roll.
Schumer is fun and holds her own in the lead, Goldie Hawn as her character’s mother feels surprisingly charmless, luckily she’s OK to stay back and let the others shine. (Of course, it’s been 15 years since Hawn’s last movie and I never actually found her that amusing in the first place.)
And then there are colorful supporting roles by Christopher Meloni, Wanda Sykes and Joan Cusack. So, a fun bunch to hang around with for 91 minutes.
You will probably not enjoy „Snatched“ as much as I did. But then again, this movie was made for people like me who never quite grow out of lowbrow jokes. Arf!… Expand

Yes, it's the likes of supporting cast members Ike Barinholtz, Bashir Salahuddin, Christopher Meloni, Wanda Sykes, and Joan Cusack that make this crime comedy at least worth sitting through. That isn't necessarily to say that leads Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn do a particularly bad job with their respective characters. But the limited chemistry and flat joke deliveries ultimately can't move the needle enough for me in the end.… Expand

Save your money and don't waste your time this movie is a dud. The acting is null and void along with the script. Walked out that is how boring this movie is and a total waste of time.
