Love Punch

A rare Saturday night at the movies (normally we go on a midweek afternoon when my wife is less likely to fall asleep at some point in the warmth and the dark) to see The Love Punch in which Emma Thompson and Pierce Brosnan take unlikely steps to recover the loss of their pension fund by stealing a diamond from the responsible corporate raider’s chateau in the south of France; once the 25 minutes of adverts and trailers were out of the way the feature was funny, fast paced and over in an old fashioned hour and a half, which factors combined to keep my companion conscious throughout.
