Thompson and Brosnan really are fine romantic foils. They deserve a better movie to trade barbs in. They deserve better barbs to trade. Full Review
The comedy is very hit-and-miss and the action elements are also a mixed bag. Full Review
There's herbal teas that hit harder than The Love Punch ... Full Review
Tonally wonky, comedically creaky and confuses light-as-a-soufflé with just plain silly. Full Review
Thompson and Brosnan deserve better than this creaky heist-caper comedy. Full Review
