The Love Punch* (12A)
(Odeon Gerrards Cross)

(Fra 2013)

A separated couple rekindle their relationship when they have to steal a diamond from a slimy French financier who has embezzled all their pension funds.
A romantic caper movie with the emphasis on comedy more than crime. Veterans loosen up in mostly childish manner (lacking the verisimilitude of the same director's Last Chance Harvey), but provide occasional funny moments that please.
