Travelling with parents can be trying in the best of moments, and “Snatched” is going to build a whole comedy around that concept. Goldie Hawn returns to the big screen to co-star in Amy Schumer‘s latest vehicle, which is aiming to give audiences big, broad laughs this summer.
Directed by Jonathan Levine (“50/50,” “The Night Before“) and penned by Katie Dippold (“The Heat,” “Ghostbusters“) the movie follows a mother and daughter who take a trip to Ecuador, where things very quickly, go very wrong. Seems simple enough, and it looks like everyone involved is pushing the premise as far as they can. Here’s the official synopsis:
After her boyfriend dumps her on the eve of their exotic vacation, impetuous dreamer Emily Middleton (Amy Schumer) persuades her ultra-cautious mother, Linda (Goldie Hawn) to travel with her to paradise. Polar opposites, Emily and Linda realize that working through their differences as mother and daughter — in unpredictable, hilarious fashion — is the only way to escape the wildly outrageous jungle adventure they have fallen into.
“Snatched” opens on May 12th.
