Reviews


60
Empire - Anna Smith
The by-the-numbers plotting is a little clunky but there's fun to be had in the cast's easy chemistry.
60
TheWrap - James Rocchi
The Love Punch gets by in no small part thanks to the individual charms and collective chemistry between leads Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - Boyd van Hoeij
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.
50
Variety - Unnamed
A creaky heist-caper comedy that hopes to get by on sunny amiability.
50
The Dissolve - Chris Klimek
Thompson and Brosnan really are fine romantic foils. They deserve a better movie to trade barbs in. They deserve better barbs to trade.
