Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Manages to be excruciatingly unfunny despite the presence of Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson in the lead roles. Read more
Charles Gant, Variety: Emma Thompson and Pierce Brosnan deserve better than this creaky heist-caper comedy from 'Last Chance Harvey' director Joel Hopkins. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Decent. Pleasant. Serviceable. Agreeable. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Thompson is one of those rarities who shines in just about anything. Her crack timing enlivens even her worst lines. Read more
Boyd van Hoeij, Hollywood Reporter: The comedy is very hit-and-miss and the action elements are also a mixed bag. Read more
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times: This "Punch" never truly connects. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: The movie, which feels like something made back in the late 1960s or early '70s, is so relentlessly silly it's hard to watch without a lot of eye-rolling. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Hopkins managed a genuine delight a few years ago with "Last Chance Harvey," starring Thompson and Dustin Hoffman as two late-in-life lovers in London. But his new script has none of that wit. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Alas, there are no sparks. There is no excitement. Hopkins' clumsy script simply bumbles its way past plot holes into predictabilities. Read more
Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times: A good-natured if strenuously wacky caper comedy about a divorced British couple who plot a diamond heist to save their pensions. Read more
Courtney Shea, Globe and Mail: Most everything about this movie is predictable within the first few minutes ... Read more
Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star: 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. Read more
James Rocchi, TheWrap: The revenge-of-the-ripped-off plot here is nothing new; rarely, though, have we had such charming companions on the voyage over that well-trod ground. Read more
Cath Clarke, Time Out: You haven't seen cringeworthy till you've seen a group of mature British actors in granny-beige M&S slacks doing the Reservoir Dogs walk Read more
Abby Garnett, Village Voice: How to Steal a Million it's not - Brosnan sleepwalks through his dialogue, and there's at least one unforgivable James Bond reference - but The Love Punch is too sunny and self-effacing to be truly toxic. Read more
