The only thing good about The Hustle is the beautiful cinematography throughout otherwise so cringe worthy and stupid! Exhausting to watch and aggravating; not much else to say!

*sigh*...Why do I do this to myself? Stealing seems to be the theme here, and getting away with it whilst attempting to produce hilarity. So it's incredibly ironic that this remake of a remake, which already robbed most of its originality through blatant imitation, hustled the most precious asset that I could ever own. Life. Well, I'm not going to beat around Rebel Wilson's bush. Objectively speaking, The Hustle is categorically one of the worst modern mainstream comedies I've ever had the displeasure of enduring. In fact, it might just be *the* worst. A professional wealthy hustler is forced into recruiting an amateur where their differing skills are put to the test when fleecing a famous app developer.

Chris Addison, who is fairly confident in the British comedy circuit, "directed" this. And I'm ashamed. There was no direction. At all. Just a series of elongated gags that tested my precious patience before abruptly closing down Netflix, shutting the MacBook and requesting Wilson herself to take it from me. She, yet again, isn't acting. Portraying the same ditzy Australian persona that she has done throughout her entire career. I'm so done with it. Pretending to be blind for half the film in one of the most monotonous performances ever? C'mon! Go away. Hathaway, who I'd like to remind you has won an Academy Award, butchered a plethora of accents in her harsh attempt in being likeable and funny. Woops! Forgot to mention that she, and Wilson, are two of my least favourite actresses working in Hollywood today. They both lack chemistry. They both force themselves to appear on screen. And they both reek of desperation. Urgh!

Every line of dialogue from the incomprehensibly woeful screenplay missed the mark so massively, that I had to pause halfway through and check that I was still alive. Painfully unfunny. No seriously, I'm mentally injured. The absence of a cohesive story failed to conduct any electricity within the entirety of this production. Simply put, it was lifeless. From effortlessly stealing from stupid rich men who have zero common sense to bickering amongst themselves due to their background differences. Nothing happened! I can't stress enough that literally zero progress was made within the narrative.

Fortunately I expended none of my hard-earned money on this feature, and I feel fantastic. These hustlers couldn't hustle me. I saw right through them. 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' this is not, and with the utmost of confidence, claim that The Hustle is the worst film of last year.

Penny Rust (Rebel Wilson) is a con woman who steals from sexist men. Josephine Chesterfield (Anne Hathaway) is a sophisticated hustler conning the rich from her French Riviera villa. The town is not big enough for the both of them. They make a bet on tech billionaire Thomas Westerburg (Alex Sharp).

This is a remake of 1988's Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The problem is that it does achieve any comedic takeoff. Rebel continues to play the same character over and over again. Anne Hathaway does not crack a smile or delivers a smile to the audience. At its core, these characters are not funny. It actually improves slightly with them fighting over Thomas and Rebel achieves humanity when she tries to play it straight with him. The movie is almost good for that section but it's not enough.
