The Hustle is a gender-flipped version of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels a 1988 comedy where two men con people which was a remake of Bedtime Story which was released in 1964. This movie is sure to make you laugh and it is relaxing.
It begins with Penny Rust (Rebel Wilson) who is a con-artist in America leaves for France because she feels that she would make more money there. In the train on her way to Beaumont-Sur-Mer (a beautiful town in France) she meets Josephine Chesterfield (Anne Hathaway) who is also a con-artist but she is more classy in her schemes and it seems to pay off because she lives in a huge villa. Josephine tries to lure penny away because she sees Beaumont-Sur-mer as her territory and dies not want Penny to ruin it for her but Penny stays back and asks Josephine to train her on how to execute high-class con that pays more. Josephine agrees but with another plan in mind. She trains and uses Penny for her schemes but refuses to pay her. So they make a bet which states that whomever can extort $500,000 from a young native internet tycoon Thomas Westerburg (Alex Sharp) will remain I Beaumont-Sur-Mer. Who will succeed and who will leave??
The Hustle does not meet the expectations o the viewers most especially those who have seen Dirty Rotten Scoundrels probably because this is a more silly and less serious one .This movie is a comic fantasy of women using charm and scheme to dupe insisting men. The Hustle portrays the idea that women succeed as fraudsters because men do not want to believe that women can be smarter than them therefore, this movie also silently implies men's sexual vanity that makes them vulnerable to being manipulated by women. Previously, con artists in movies have been played by me except in a few occasions.
The old plot is twisted a bit when Penny and Josephine struggle for Thomas. The full nicest moments are between Penny and Josephine. It was directed by Chris Addison and was released worldwide on May 10th, 2019. It runs for 93 minutes and is rated PG 14 for crude sexual content and language.
