Simply A Masterpiece

People are voting emotionally.

Good concept, poorly executed.

Absolutely the worst movie.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen, I even signed up to write this review, it was that bad. Implausible, ridiculous, stupid, cheesy, bad, bad, bad. I watched it all as I really could not believe that such good actors would lower themselves to this trash, even they could not lift this rubbish. Did I mention that this movie was bad? Have given it 1 because there is not an option to give 0 The humour was terrible, the plot ridiculous, the way ordinary people became criminals a joke, Timothy Spalls character stupid. Everything was bad, bad, bad. If ever you think of watching this movie, don't. I have to write a few more words to reach the limit, so I write BAD BAD BAD, REALLY BAD

This might "spoil" it for some, all discerning movie lovers, I'm sure! I will keep this short. First I gave it a "1" because I couldn't finish the thing and I have only not finished about 3 movies ever, of tens of thousands. I love these two talented actors and have no idea why they would put themselves in such a...trite, mundane, substance lacking piece.Let me also say I never review, I just couldn't sit still for this one. I blame the director/writer. There is really no story here, just fluff, and not pretty fluff. My condolences to Pierce and Emma. Joel Hopkins must have gotten lucky on Last Chance Harvey, it was OK, weak, but OK, but this one...well, it's insulting.

I just love Pierce Brosan just like so many people out there i am also a big fan of him ever since i saw him as James Bond in his all four outings from golden eye till die another day he did great films before bond and even after the bond era but since last 3 years he is been doing comedy films a lot i do like him in these type of roles but this time the script lacks many things specially for Brosnan's character people go to watch Brosnan film expecting some Good stuff but if its not something worth it fans are left with disappointment all i have to says is almost everything is forced in this film.Written and directed by Joel Hopkins this British french production did not even garnered much positive reviews from critics as well as audience members the sole reason is repeat attempt to include the spy/heist storyline in the project like makers try to include bond references in the films he is given i mean he is done playing bond give it a rest in this film a lot of homage can be spotted easily the opening sequence where Brosnan and Emma are drinking and the bartender was doing shaken not stirred thing.Many filmmakers do that even i would try to do it if i was a filmmaker everyone is a 007 fan forever but it is better to try not to do this some people will argue that these little things do not matter well i disagree it does even the actors don't like these attempts i liked the film its got some hilarious moments like one guy starts to masturbate pierce immediately whistles and yells at him making him notice that he can be watched via computer camera while the jokes were funny but there comes a point when it is overdone i mean Brosnan in a Texas accent that is just ridiculous.The Plot:Kate and Richard are divorced but when the company Richard works for cheats him Richard and Kate try to steal the precious diamond the owner gave it to his girlfriend.The Cast:once again Pierce Brosnan looks awesome here despite the age he is so smooth but he needs to be careful next time this type of move can kill a career as for Emma Thompson she should stop overacting Tupence Middleton & Louise Bourgoin give their best performances.Overall The Love Punch 2013 is a film with one weird angle that never works but it is only worth checking out for Pierce Brosnan my rating is 4/10.

Review: This film is really bad. The storyline is completely ridiculous and Brosnan and Thompson make fools out of themselves. The chemistry between the two characters isn't bad, but it's not enough to make the movie enjoyable. Basically, Pierce Brosnan's business gets taken from him so he tries to get the business back with the help of Thompson who also has personal investments in the business. After failing terribly at that task, they decide to steal a precious diamond from the person who took his business, and that's were the storyline just goes from bad to worse. In some ways, it's a light hearted feel good movie that is totally not to be taken seriously, but on the basis of entertainment, I just didn't find it funny the characters got on my nerves after a while. Disappointed!Round-Up: After seeing many interviews with Emma Thompson, this movie does suit her humorous personality which is full of wit, but the script was terrible and I'm sure that everyone would be stealing a diamond if it was so easy. I am quite a fan of Pierce Brosnan but he seems to be taking on some weird roles lately, like The Long Way Down and Love Is All You Need. I'm hoping that his career will take a turn like Liam Neeson who has blossomed in the latter part of his career. It's basically down to the roles that he picks because his performances are usually quite good. I know that he's trying to get rid of the whole Bond typecasting, but I can't wait to see him kicking butt again. At the end of the day, I doubt that this movie will damage all of the work that Thompson and Brosnan has done in the past, but they could do with a major blockbuster as there next projects. Budget: N/A Worldwide: $5millionI recommend this movie to people who are into there romantic comedies about a group of friends who try a steal a diamond from a man who destroys Brosnan's business. 3/10
