The Hustle

It's pretty much a re-make of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" which was itself a remake, only this one isn't as good. It's actually just "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" that has been gender swapped and, like all of the gender swapped remakes of late, the humor, the plot, the entire story is wrapped around the fact that the gender has been swapped, and done so without an actual story or humor.

A totally class-free remake of the var superior "Bedtime Story" (1964) that is both vulgar and crass.

No amount of glamorous location photography can make it any less so. I never leave the cinema half way through a film, but was sorely tempted...

Point by point remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and while I don't hold that movie in as high regards compared to others, this spit in its face with offering absolutely nothing new with the comedy falling flat at every turn and worse yet, where Michael Caine and Steve Martin were great together, Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson shared no chemistry.

Normally, I really like Anne Hathaway. **Especially** recently. But not only did I think The Hustle was pretty bad, even she specifically was pretty bad in it. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
