As
Kate waves her daughter goodbye on her way to University, the reality hits her
that with both of her children moved out of home, she’s now all alone. Although
her neighbours Penelope & Jerry are keen for her to get back together with
her ex-husband Richard, they soon try to set her up with someone new, but Kate
has an online relationship on the go with Jean-Baptiste.
With
Richard preparing to start his final week at work before retirement, he too starts
to feel the loneliness of being alone, but when he turns up for work and
discovers the company has been taken over by a French businessman and all the
assets are lost, he teams up with Kate in order to get back their retirement
money.
Determined
to get back what they and the rest of the company have worked hard for, they
enlist the hacking skills of their son to get as much information as possible
on the new owner of the company and hatch a plan to steal a valuable diamond
from his future wife.
With
the plan involving travelling to France, kidnapping Texan business dealers and
gate-crashing a wedding, Kate & Richard soon start enjoying each other’s
company, but when they discover they need more than the 2 of them, who better
to invite along for the ride than best friends Pen & Jerry who seem to have
quite a few useful contacts.
Starring
four of the best British Actors; Emma Thompson, Pierce Brosnan, Celia Imrie
& Timothy Spall, this movie was a fun comedy caper which made me laugh out
loud. Packed with hilarious moments I really enjoyed watching The Love Punch which although centered on
preparing for retirement, showed that fun doesn’t have an expiration date.
I
could watch this movie again and again – definitely one to watch.
