Movie Review : Snatched

Snatched 
This film is terrible! Snatched is a film with Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn and is a train wreck of a film. It had terrible pacing no character development of arc whatsoever and the chemistry between Amy and Goldie is simply not their. This film is a forgettable comedy that will be snatched in the 5 dollar bin.

This film is about a woman is planning a trip but once her boyfriend dumps her and her friends turn her down she takes her mom on the trip where they get snatched and have to find a way home

Rated R : for crude sexual content brief nudity and language throughout

Goldie Hawn : She is the only great thing about this film! Goldie Hawn is a Oscar winning actress who is an incredibly talented actor and that's why it makes me wounder what she was doing in this film. She did the best with what she had and really ran with it and in the long run for her it worked. Goldie is known for her great comedic ability and timing and at times it lands and its really enjoyable. At other times she can really amp it up with the serious dialogue and deliver that incredibly well. She just did a great job at walking the fine line of balancing those two emotional components. Also you can't help but enjoy her performance onscreen she's been gone off screen for 15 years and she's so loveable it's hard not to enjoy her work in this film. She brings the laughs and also the serious tones she just has the best time with her role in this film and for that I'll say she's entertaining from start to finish I'm this film.

Jonathan Levine : Levine what happened?! This film is a mess and this is coming from the director that did the critically acclaimed 50/50 and somehow he directed this film why? Levine cast two actors and can't form any onscreen chemistry together whatsoever. Secondly the plot felt muddled messy and made no sense whatsoever the film was about two people who get snatched and have to get out that is established in the first 30 minutes. Then the plot goes somewhere else so it did a hard job at pinpointing what this film was at times it felt like Thelma and Louise the next it felt like taken it didn't know what it was. Lastly the comedy was so forced this film is a hour and thirty minutes I didn't laugh once that shows how badly written the comedy was and how hard they went for the laughs. This film was terrible and coming from a director which I like this is such a blow to his career. Adam you have great direction talent but you can do better then this I hope you choose your future projects more better next time overall I was disappointed and let down from Levine's messy and bad direction.

The Lighting : As expected the lighting was bright! The lighting in this film is mostly orange and yellow and it works well but is at this point so overused it got tiring. Overall the lighting felt overdone and could of been better.

The Music : your typical rap music vibe to a comedy film what do too expect. Theirs a few good tunes but not Much overall the music is ok.
