Tourists-in-jeopardy farce that relies on poop jokes and boob gags

    AMY Schumer is the live-wire from television's Comedy Central; Goldie Hawn was the daffy darling of the 1970s who won an Oscar for 1969's Cactus Flower and acclaim for her roles in Sugarland Express and Private Benjamin.

    Bringing these actresses together is an inspired inter-generational pairing, and I am all for mother-daughter bonding. But the comedy Snatched, which is directed by Jonathan Levine (50/50), scripted by Katie Dippold (the 2016 Ghostbusters remake) and brings Hawn out of a 14-year retirement after 2002's The Banger Sisters is . . . Why don't I tell you about it?

    Schumer's Emily Middleton is a New York loser, dumped by her boyfriend on the eve of their exotic couple vacation.
