THE LOVE PUNCH is a British comedy about a divorced couple who are forced to go on a crime caper in Paris when their pension funds are scuppered by an unscrupulous French businessman.
- Language
Three uses of strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder bad language, including 'prick', 'whore', 'shit', 'arse' and 'piss off'.
- Sex
There is a visual reference to masturbation when a man sits holding a pornographic magazine and puts his hand down his pants, but he is immediately interrupted so nothing happens. There are also several examples of mild comic sexual innuendo, such as a man asking his ex-wife if she would "rub some Deep Heat on my coccyx".
There is brief mild violence as a man is slapped across the face while being interrogated.
Cuts information
Company chose to remove strong language (in this case 'motherf***er') in order to secure a 12A classification. Cut made in line with BBFC Guidelines and policy. An uncut 15 was available.
