The Hustle

Two con artists, one a sophisticated British woman and the other a down-on-her-luck Australian, team up to scam a tech billionaire. Initially rivals, they agree to a bet to see who can successfully swindle the other out of a large sum of money. Their elaborate schemes unfold in a luxurious French Riviera setting, leading to a series of comedic twists and turns.

The Hustle received largely negative reviews from critics, who found it to be a pale imitation of its predecessor, "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." While some praised the chemistry between the lead actresses, many criticized the predictable plot, uninspired jokes, and lack of originality. Audiences, however, seemed to respond more favorably, with many enjoying the comedic performances.

• A predictable and uninspired remake that fails to capture the magic of the original.
• Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson share some entertaining chemistry, but it's not enough to save the film.
• The humor often falls flat, and the plot offers little in the way of surprise.

Google audience: Google users generally found the film to be a fun, albeit silly, comedy, with many appreciating the performances of Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson. Some found the plot to be predictable, but most agreed it was an entertaining way to pass the time.

The film is a gender-swapped remake of the 1988 comedy "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," which starred Steve Martin and Michael Caine.
