THE HUSTLE:
Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson is a dream pairing on-screen. They deliver some solid comedy. They both play “hustlers” at the top of their game. Naturally they work together and against one another with some twists and turns along the way.
I felt this movie did a nice job in keeping it fun and lighthearted. It has a clever plot (remake that’s based on the 1988 film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) that’s centered on two very good and entertaining female leads. If you’re looking for an entertaining film that will bring out some LOL’s and OMG moments with a few surprising twists, then you should definitely see The Hustle.
