a5c7b9f00b After her boyfriend dumps her on the eve of their exotic vacation, impetuous dreamer Emily Middleton persuades her ultra-cautious mother, Linda 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. When her boyfriend dumps her, Emily, a spontaneous woman in her 30s, persuades her ultra-cautious mom to accompany her on a vacation to Ecuador. At Emily's insistence, the pair seek out adventure, but suddenly find themselves kidnapped. When these two very different women are trapped on this wild journey, their bond as mother and daughter is tested and strengthened while they attempt to navigate the jungle and escape. So I was preparing to present this movie with a half star review, however I was technically limited to one star due to the IMDb system, thus I have effectively overrated it.<br/><br/>It is time to stop forcing narratives on the masses, and to make use of people who can actually act. Amy Schumer looked completely outclassed next to Goldie Hawn… So badly so, that I jumped up outraged every time she spoke, wondering if an extra had attempted to steal the stars lines. I cant think of a single moment, where her acting convinced me anymore so than the effectiveness of when my two year old daughter tries to convince me she is genuinely spider man.<br/><br/>Save the planet, save humanity, avoid this movie. There are a lot of reviews with Schumer haters. I am not sure why anyone who hates her and her movies would keep watching them. This is not intended to be a cinematic marvel. It is a stupid, ridiculous, story-line, (as intended) but I thought it was hilarious. I normally would not have gone to see this movie, as it not my type, but my 75 Y/O mother wanted to see it for mother's day. The theater was packed with mothers and their older kids. Everyone was laughing. If you are looking for fun, go. If you are looking for a movie to critique, then don't go. It is what you'd expect. They clearly had a great time making it. I would love to see the outtakes. Though this movie ostensibly celebrates the spirit of adventure and openness to experience, it takes no risks and blazes no trails. It’s ultimately as complacent, self-absorbed and clueless as its heroine, and not always in an especially amusing way.
