The Love Punch Reviews
The Love Punch harkens to the screwball antics of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn in 'The Philadelphia Story.'

This discordant rom-com caper has all the charm of a lobotomized poodle; fluffy and without all the necessary faculties to function.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2019
It's only the twinkle-eyed self-parody of former Bond Brosnan that makes this dire Brit-com remotely watchable.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 20, 2019
[The Love Punch] is well-made fluff of the sort we don't see much of any more, so if this is a genre you enjoy, it's here for you.
| Original Score: B | Jan 12, 2019
The jokes are as creaky as the would-be robbers' ageing bodies, but Thompson's air of wry disdain and Brosnan's frisky playfulness are enormously winning.

The lead actors outshine a predictable script in this globetrotting romantic caper.
| Jun 30, 2014
...an underwhelming and forgettable endeavor that squanders the efforts of its charismatic leads.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 28, 2014
This "Punch" never truly connects.

Thompson is one of those rarities who shines in just about anything. Her crack timing enlivens even her worst lines.
| Original Score: C+ | May 23, 2014
Alas, there are no sparks. There is no excitement. Hopkins' clumsy script simply bumbles its way past plot holes into predictabilities.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 23, 2014
A delightful, breezy and outrageously funny slice of mindless entertainment with a charming cast.
| Original Score: 7.0155/10 | May 23, 2014
Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson...make a charming couple. But their best efforts can't save Joel Hopkins' weak script,...which he also directed, clumsily.
| Original Score: C- | May 23, 2014
Most everything about this movie is predictable within the first few minutes ...
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 23, 2014
A good-natured if strenuously wacky caper comedy about a divorced British couple who plot a diamond heist to save their pensions.
| May 23, 2014
Decent. Pleasant. Serviceable. Agreeable.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 22, 2014
Seeing The Love Punch is a lot like going on a rather pedestrian cruise but having a smashing couple that you look forward to seeing at dinner every night.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 22, 2014
...appallingly implausible...lowlighted by a total lack of chemistry between Thompson and Brosnan.
| Original Score: 3/10 | May 22, 2014
A heist-caper comedy with Emma Thomson and Pierce Brosnan as a winsome couple on a grand adventure to recover their love and much more.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 22, 2014
Despite Brosnan and Thompson's inherent likability and natural chemistry, the two actors end up feeling more like old friends than a sizzling romantic item.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 22, 2014
A romantic comedy as painfully unfunny as a sock in the jaw.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 22, 2014
