What is snatched?

"Snatched" is a 2017 American comedy film directed by Jonathan Levine and written by Katie Dippold. It stars Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn, with support from Joan Cusack, Ike Barinholtz, Wanda Sykes, and Christopher Meloni. The film follows the story of a mother and daughter who go on a vacation to South America, where they unexpectedly find themselves entangled in a dangerous adventure after being kidnapped.

The film marks Goldie Hawn's return to the big screen after a 15-year hiatus. The premise centers around Emily Middleton (played by Amy Schumer), who is dumped by her boyfriend right before their planned exotic vacation. Desperate not to waste the non-refundable trip, Emily convinces her cautious mother Linda (played by Goldie Hawn) to join her. What starts as a bonding trip spirals into an offbeat comedy of errors after the pair are kidnapped.

"Snatched" was produced by Chernin Entertainment and Feigco Entertainment and was released by 20th Century Fox. Despite mixed reviews, with some critics praising the performances of Schumer and Hawn, it brought attention for its humorous take on family dynamics and the mother-daughter relationship. The film grossed over $60 million worldwide against a production budget of approximately $42 million.
