The Love Punch (Joel Hopkins, 2013)

Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson play a separated middle-aged couple who take it on themselves to get revenge on an unscrupulous businessman who has driven them to penury, although only the kind of pretend penury that exists in smug films for the chattering classes. They consequently end up hatching a plan to rob him in the Côte d'Azur, for that's where you go in a thoroughly unimaginative romantic comedy without a single original idea, wholly reliant on the charm of the leads and the support of Timothy Spall and Celia Imrie. You do wish they hadn't all been so lazy, though.
