Snatched

Emily Middleton is dumped by her boyfriend just before a planned trip to Ecuador. Rather than cancel, she talks her cautious mother Linda into taking his place. The two women, very different in temperament, soon find their holiday turning into something far more dangerous when they are taken hostage. Stranded in unfamiliar surroundings, they have to work together to get out, and the ordeal tests and reshapes their relationship along the way.

Snatched is an action comedy directed by Jonathan Levine, released in 2017. It sits between The Night Before and Long Shot in his filmography. Amy Schumer stars as Emily and shares screenplay credit with Katie Dippold and Kim Caramele; Goldie Hawn plays Linda. The supporting cast includes Tom Bateman, Christopher Meloni, Wanda Sykes and Ike Barinholtz, with Paul Feig among the producers.

Made for a reported 42 million dollars, the film returned about 61 million worldwide. On IMDb it holds 4.7 out of 10 from roughly 37,000 votes, and on TMDB 5.3 out of 10 from a much smaller number of votes, while a critics' rating stands at 5.1 out of 10 from 214 reviews, so audiences and critics alike received it coolly.
