Cinema Style: The Love Punch

You know what’s been missing from movie theaters lately? A good, old fashioned romantic comedy that doesn’t rely on bawdy humor and shock value to sell tickets. So when The Love Punch came along, I waited with baited breath to see if it might bring back the good stuff. And you know what? It doesn’t disappoint.

Starring acting giants Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson as Richard and Kate, the film morphs from romantic comedy to romantic comedy heist. They play a somewhat happily divorced couple who, after their pension is stolen by an unscrupulous businessman, reunite to steal it back. It’s a fun ride filled with giggles as they set out to steal a diamond to replace bankrupt employees’ pension funds….but also reignite a spark while sleuthing in France.

I loved this film and Thompson’s breezy style as they jaunt across France….she’s a beautiful woman who wears no-nonsense classics in the film. When I came across this look from her time filming The Love Punch, I couldn’t help but want to recreate it for myself with chambray shirt and these super comfy Miss Me jeans. Her effortless chic travel style is a lovely match for Brosnan’s casual cool suits and hats. They have a familiar chemistry that makes you root for them to fall back in love, all the while laughing at the ridiculousness of their endeavor.

If you love a tried and true romantic comedy, you’ll love The Love Punch. It casts the same charming spell as favorites like “While You Were Sleeping” and “You’ve Got Mail“….but with some hilarious detective work and zingers thrown in. (If you’re looking for ideas, it would make a great date movie this Memorial Day weekend.) The Love Punch opens nationwide in theaters tomorrow, May 23rd!
