Leave your thoughts about The Love Punch.
| Assignment XAbbie Bernstein[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. |
| Radio TimesStella PapamichaelYou just have to go with it. This is pure unadulterated wish-fulfilment for the over-50s with a sunset ending that could have been sponsored by Saga Holidays. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekPierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson...make a charming couple. But their best efforts can't save Joel Hopkins' weak script,...which he also directed, clumsily. |
| Entertainment WeeklyStephan LeeThere’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. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA delightful, breezy and outrageously funny slice of mindless entertainment with a charming cast. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe accomplished cast do their considerable best. Likable fun. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry FitzherbertA moderately amusing diversion that coasts by on the charm of its cast. It might just put a spring in your step. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA heist-caper comedy with Emma Thomson and Pierce Brosnan as a winsome couple on a grand adventure to recover their love and much more. |
| TheWrapJames RocchiThe Love Punch gets by in no small part thanks to the individual charms and collective chemistry between leads Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson. |
| Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijRecognizable 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. |
