Goldie Hawn returns to the silver screen after a 15-year hiatus with Snatched, a comedy that also stars Amy Schumer. Scheduled for release on May 12, ahead of Mother’s Day, Snatched features Schumer and Hawn as a daughter and mother who take an impromptu trip to South America and find themselves enmeshed in a criminal underworld.
Sure, there’s plenty of laughs, high jinks, and pratfalls in Snatched, about a recently dumped woman (Amy Schumer) whose vacation to Ecuador with her scaredy-cat mother (Goldie Hawn) turns into a zany kidnapping adventure.
Think prison breaks, outrunning bad guys through a jungle, and a particularly lethal dance move. But at its core, it’s a tender relationship study of the often complicated bonds between mothers and daughters.
“As a new parent, it’s what got me excited to make this movie,” says director Jonathan Levine (The Night Before). “It’s what I gravitate towards — real character stuff in the midst of funny.”
The script and its subject similarly held appeal for Hawn, who hadn’t been in a film since 2002’s The Banger Sisters, but the real lure was her costar, whom she’d come to admire after seeing Trainwreck.
“I loved it,” Hawn says. “I saw Amy’s range and her brilliance. She’s a funny, smart person who can also make you cry. I didn’t care about doing something that doesn’t stimulate me. But this is Amy. To be matched with someone so deeply instinctive, naturally funny, and incredibly brilliant? It’s a great coup.”
Schumer, who also co-wrote the script along with her sister, Kim Caramele, and Katie Dippold (Ghostbusters), spoke about how she became determined that Hawn would one day star in one of her films.
“I met her on an airplane a couple of years ago and told her there’s a movie I really want to make with her. And she was very nice. ‘OK, honey.’ She probably thought I was a psycho. ‘OK, crazy person’,” Schumer told the LA Times.
“Then I’d meet her at different things, saying, ‘We’re making this movie together,’ and I think, eventually, some people got in her ear and told her I wasn’t crazy, that I make things. It’s a Goldie Hawn movie and she’s gorgeous. Goldie … Hawn! I don’t remember the first time I didn’t love her!” she added.
