Maybe the movie only "deserves" a 6 out of 10, but our main actors and their interplay alone is worth that extra point I gave it. It really feels like those two know each other their whole life, but we knew how good both are acting wise. The movie is also not really hiding the fact that it knows that we know where it is heading. We shall have fun on the ride there though.And we can have fun, if we let ourselves. It's easy like that, just enjoy the two and some odd jokes along the way (let's call a repeated joke video chat "bombing", taken from photo bombing someone of course). Characters are very aware of what they are doing and in what movie they are in (villains are villains you see). Just enjoy if for what it is :o)

"I will find out what's going on it will just take time. I will make sure that everyone of you gets what they're due. I will not, will not let you down." Richard (Brosnan) is finally at the point in life where he is going to retire. He sold his company and has a comfortable pension coming. When he shows up on the last day he is surprised to learn that the company that bought his is under investigation and every asset they had is frozen. When he tells his ex wife Kate (Thompson) they decide to talk to the man that bought the company. When things don't go the way they want they are left with only one choice. I am a big Pierce Brosnan fan and I really like when he plays a take off of James Bond in comedies. He did that in the Matador. This one does have shades of Bond in it as well. Other then that the movie is hilarious. Brosnan and Thompson are perfect together and I laughed pretty much all the way through. I don't want to talk to much about it because to much would ruin it but not only is the dialog witty with some great running jokes but the soundtrack is awesome. Nothing is funnier then watching four 60 year-olds walking in slow motion into a hotel with I Fought The Law playing. This is one I could just go on and on about but all I'll say is watch this...very funny. Overall, a must see comedy. There is British humor but this is also more main stream. I give this an A-.

Grumphy old couples arguing at each other. Poor soundtrack. Poor photography. Lack of script constance. Few not realistic stunt scenes since the actors are very old. ANNOYING COMMUNIST REFERENCES. BORING. Run away. What the hell is wrong with this people. If you are a communist go live in Russia, Cuba, Venezuela. Stop pretending you don't like good wine, champagne and all the good stuff. The villain is a terrible actor. I'm surprise this torture has 5 stars on IMDb when it should be zero stars. BORING. BORING. COMMUNIST. BORING. BORING. COMMUNIST. BORING. BORING.COMMUNIST. BORING. BORING. COMMUNIST. BORING. BORING.COMMUNIST. BORING. BORING.

An entertaining and funny movie. I love all the main actors in this and think they did a good job. The plot is highly unlikely and the fact that they pull it off even more so, but that just added to the fun. Yes they are old and their methods laughable and really only succeeded due to a fluke, but the fact that they tried and ran with their half-cocked plan is part of the charm. The bickering between Richard and Kate was believable and oh so recognisable and I also really enjoyed the more loving bickering between Penny and Jerry as, again, it's also very recognisable. I also loved that they brought their son in on the plan, mum and dad obviously passed on their felonious genes there.
