Amy Schumer's new movie is out, and most critics are oh-so-disappointed. Snatched, starring Schumer and Goldie Hawn as a mother-daughter duo on a disastrous trip to Ecuador, was managing a measly 37% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Worse, even fewer audiences members like it (25%). Here's a sampling:
- "Despite being a showcase for two of the greatest living comic actors," Snatched "isn't even airplane fare," writes Richard Brody at the New Yorker. "The pleasure of seeing them together onscreen, and the intermittent spark of comedic energy that passes between them, doesn't outweigh the overwhelming encumbrances of the script and, above all, of the direction." (That would be director Jonathan Levine.)
