Snatched 2017

     Emily Middleton is planning on going on a vacation to Equador with her musician boyfriend.  Unfortunately, she is fired from her job and her boyfriend dumps her on the same day?  She doesn’t care about the job but now she doesn’t know what to do about the vacation?  Since the trip is already booked and not refundable, she has to get someone to go with her?  Her mother agrees to go but she is an ultra-cautious person.  Emily and Linda are polar opposites.

     I expected this film to be terrible but it’s just a little better than that!!  Hawn and Schumer argue and make many mistakes during this vacation!!  I can say that Hawn looks very good for her age of 71 at the film release in May, 2017.  3* (This movie is OK)
