with its focus on mother-daughter camaraderie and the occasional gross-out gag, "Snatched" does what it sets out to do. It's just hard not to wish that it tried to do more
the flaccid Amy Schumer-Goldie Hawn comedy disappoints in almost every possible way, not least because it's timed to Mother's Day. Treating your mom to this one would be akin to handing her a bouquet of dead flowers
as Snatched's blonde-leading-the-blonde farce careens on, it stumbles into moments of deranged inspiration, lifted by loopy cameos (Ike Barinholtz, Wanda Sykes, a mute Joan Cusack) and Hawn's dizzy, undiminished charisma
"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
