The Hustle: one word review
Excrutiating. 2/10.
Tonight, our daughters chose a film for us to watch together as a family. They chose The Hustle. Apparently, it's a gender-swap remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, starring Rebel Wilson as Steve Martin, and Anne Hathaway as Michael Caine. Need I say more? (nosmile)
At one point, Wilson burst into a scene to distract from Hathaway:
Is there a doctor in the house? Somebody please help me! What are the signs of a stroke? I can't feel my tits. [splat!]
Rebel Wilson, as Penny Rust
Yes, that is the one point at which I genuinely laughed. (embarrassed)
Still, at least it's only 93 minutes long. Shorter would've been better. But it didn't go on for the original's 110 minutes, and I guess you can't have everything. (shrug)
