There’s nothing remotely original about the premise, and jokes about prostates feel more pandering than funny, but the leads make this dumb romantic caper watchable.

It’s all third-rate “Pink Panther” stuff, and Brosnan, eager to play down his 007 bona fides, overcorrects.

There's nothing particularly off-putting about the movie. It's all right. But neither is there anything especially compelling. In the context of this cast, another descriptive word comes to mind: disappointing.

Recognizable human behavior is not this film’s forte -- which wouldn’t be a problem if something else would take its place but Punch never finds the right tone for the heterogeneous material, with sweetly melodramatic scenes alternating with high drama, some light action and farce.

The Love Punch makes a virtue of its leads’ considerable charm and gorgeous French locations but is tonally wonky, comedically creaky and confuses light-as-a-soufflé with just plain silly.

Manages to be excruciatingly unfunny despite the presence of Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson in the lead roles.

Well the title got something right, I did feel like getting punched in the face. Love Punch is about a ex-husband and wife Richard and Kate whose biting banter suggests that the flames of their former relationship have not been fully extinguished... Unfortunately the same cannot be said for their retirement nest egg which is wiped out when Richard's investment firm is defrauded and the pension fund is siphoned away. Okay lets start of with the good things about this movie because this movie isn't terrible at all, but not brilliant. Pierce Brosnan, Emma Thompson and the rest of the cast did a fine job in this movie. They where some parts that I found pretty funny, but the movie lack on characters and the writing at some parts, could have been written better.

Quelle pitié de voir ça, quelle infamie de voir Emma Thompson et Pierce Brosnan s'humilier pendant deux heures dans une telle sous-comédie de merde... j'en suis triste pour eux et compâtis sincèrement. Les fins de carrière sont parfois difficiles mais à ce point, tout de même ! Cette limace de film n'en finit pas et à l'ennui permanent et lénifiant, elle ajoute la bouffonnerie pour faire bonne mesure (comme si ça ne suffisait pas) voire la mongolerie typiquement américaine pour un public de mongoliens invétérés et invertébrés. C'est une telle catastrophe et une telle bêtise que même en avance rapide, on y arrive pas : c'est pas regardable.
