20th Century Fox has unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming adventure comedySnatched. Directed byJonathan Levine(50/50) and scripted byThe HeatandGhostbustersscribeKatie Dippold, the film starsAmy SchumerandGoldie Hawnas a daughter/mother duo who take an exotic vacation to get over a breakup, only to find themselves kidnapped and in serious peril. While the previous trailers for the film played up the very Schumer-esque comedy angle, this new trailer offers more insight into the film’s emotional hook.
Levine has proven a knack with toeing a line between something very dramatic and something high concept (see:50/50,Warm Bodies), and most recently delved into the “party movie” genre to terrific results with the underseenThe Night Before. So I was curious to see if that kind of emotional pull would be present inSnatched, and it very much looks like it will be. Hawn and Schumer look to make a solid comedic team, and one imagines this will be a destination film for many mother/daughter duos on Mother’s Day weekend.
Watch the newSnatchedtrailer below. The film also starsJoan Cusack,Ike Barinholtz,Wanda Sykes, andChristopher Meloni.Snatchedopens in theaters on May 12th.
Here’s the official synopsis forSnatched:
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.
