- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIt’s got enough laughs to get by.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschThe Hollywood ReporterJon FroschSchumer and Hawn know what funny looks and sounds like, and they lend their dialogue and gags — no matter how tepid — enough snap and personality to distract you, at least some of the time, from the utter laziness of the material.
- 60Screen DailyTim GriersonScreen DailyTim GriersonOften amusing but rarely shifting into a higher comedic gear, Snatched features fun chemistry between co-stars Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn, some delightfully goofy moments of stray hilarity, yet not enough story or heart to keep this thin tale afloat.
- 58Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattEntertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattAs Snatched’s blonde-leading-the-blonde farce careens on, it stumbles into moments of deranged inspiration.
- 50The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe New York TimesA.O. ScottThough this movie ostensibly celebrates the spirit of adventure and openness to experience, it takes no risks and blazes no trails. It’s ultimately as complacent, self-absorbed and clueless as its heroine, and not always in an especially amusing way.
- 50VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanThe movie’s mother-daughter jokes are like firecrackers with damp fuses.
- 45TheWrapRobert AbeleTheWrapRobert AbeleWhat we’ve gotten in Snatched is an uninspired, scattershot disaster romp that mostly serves the talents of one half of the marquee pairing, underuses the other half, and struggles to blend R-rated humor, foreign misadventure, and oil-and-water mother-daughter dynamic into a cohesive diversion.
- 40Village VoiceMelissa AndersonVillage VoiceMelissa AndersonThe noxious self-absorption of straight white women that Schumer has sent up so blisteringly on her Comedy Central show is extolled more than it is lampooned.
- 40Time Out LondonTom HuddlestonTime Out LondonTom HuddlestonToo much of the humour derives from Emily’s insatiable appetite for booze, food and sex, while the central mother-daughter relationship is predictable.
- 25IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandPairing up talented comedians like Hawn and Schumer with a wacky plotline to match should spell comedy gold, but Snatched is about as cheap and disposable as a tourist trap tchotchke.
