You can't say Snatched doesn't deliver exactly what you would expect from an Amy Schumer film. It's dumb, raunchy, R Rated and Schumer's schtick of "not being pretty" is peppered throughout the movie. If you're an Amy Schumer fan you can't say it doesn't bring what she usually does to the table. It is watchable too. There are absolutely some funny moments, the shock comedy works in some cases (and I'm not a fan of shock comedy for the most part) but it's got a very short run time and it's an easy viewing experience. Goldie Hawn is great as Schumer's uptight Mom. The role is very cookie cutter but she likely needed that after almost two decades away from film. She absolutely has a charisma on screen and her and Schumer are actually delightful together! They play off each other well and she is definitely the "straight" woman to Schumer but she gets a lot of great scenes and lines as well. The film tries to have some genuine heart to it with a story of mother and daughter and growing apart and the agoraphobic brother played in a small dose (thankfully) by Ike Barinholtz. Christopher Meloni makes a fun and brief cameo (love that guy) and the film holds it's own but it's very generic in it's delivery. Sometimes there is a lot to be said for a film that knows exactly what it should be and is and delivers on that promise and Snatched does that. 7/10
