The Hustle Reviews

A generally unfunny and regressive remake.

| Sep 28, 2019

This is a slab of cold, unfunny comedy, just lying there, very very odd given the two talented performers at the center of it.

| May 22, 2019

The Hustle just isn't very good, and the only con being pulled is on any audience member who has found themselves coerced into buying a ticket.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 22, 2019

Hathaway is a pleasure to watch but this role is beneath her pay grade.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 17, 2019

The Hustle wants to say something about the inherent sexism of the rich... but it never manages to overcome its weak jokes and tired plot points.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 16, 2019

It's the irony of all ironies that one walks away from "The Hustle" feeling a little, well, hustled.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 13, 2019

Wilson's energy level never falters. You would sympathise with such a natural, engaging talent for the narrow typecasting if she hadn't done it to herself. Rebel, Rebel, your film is a mess.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 12, 2019

Sexism is structural but yet again, female empowerment and sisterhood are presented as individual, economic imperatives and personal acts of revenge.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2019

Simply not funny.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 11, 2019

An embarrassment to the heist genre, an insult to all existing comedies, a disgrace to feminism.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | May 11, 2019

Even with a running time of 93 minutes, The Hustle felt about an hour too long.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 11, 2019

Who's conning who here? In "The Hustle," everyone's a sucker, most of all the audience.

| Original Score: C | May 10, 2019

Every barely competent line or gag from the original has been deleted or replaced with gobsmacking doggerel.

| Original Score: 0/5 | May 10, 2019

The Hustle is just plain dumb. Wilson's shtick is so overdone, it's growing mold, and though Hathaway is the scene stealer she's doing all the work for zero reward.

| May 10, 2019

The gender-swapped Dirty Rotten Scoundrels remake The Hustle may be born out of a lazy idea, but its misandrist energy carries it along nicely.

| May 10, 2019

It's not terrible. It's not anything, really, except an excuse for Hathaway to swan about in a series of clingy dresses and fake accents and Wilson to pratfall and deadpan her way from one outlandish scheme to the next.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 10, 2019

They (Wilson and Hathaway) deserve better than a movie that feels like it's just checking boxes, and an ending that's completely off.

| May 10, 2019

"You could've been more!" is something I wanted to stand up and scream during the closing credits of The Hustle... starring Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson. Instead, I packed up my popcorn, left the theatre and wondered how it all went wrong.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 9, 2019

The Hustle will fail to seduce the most important mark in any heist movie: the audience.

| May 9, 2019

Even with Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson as con artists, the setups are flat, the jokes don't land and the actors strain for laughs that never come. Be warned about this femcentric spin on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels-it's the audience that gets hustled.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 9, 2019
