Stanley Sugerman's (Adam Sandler) love for basketball is unparalleled, but the travel weary Philadelphia 76ers scout who has higher ambitions of being a coach remains stuck on the road looking for the next unknown talent. His search around the world leads him to Spain, when he discovers Bo Cruz (NBA player Juancho Hernangómez), an incredible streetball player with a troubled past. Stanley and Bo connect on and off the court, with their passion for the game and as loving family men who want to prove they can win, in basketball and in life. With the support of Stanley's wife, Teresa (Queen Latifah), can the underdogs come out on top?

Jeremiah Zagar's film kept me entertained with its trusty clichés and its characters' sheer friendliness.

NBA fans will like this movie but it’s not only for them. I know little about basketball but I still wanted this very tall Rocky and his old-school coach to make that three-pointer.

Rated: 3/5

Boston Hassle

Built from the ground up on the back of cameos, the atmospheric creating factor of the guest appearances separates Hustle from the completely “just because” ones in superhero movies.

A perfect combination of drama and humor; and a sense of warmth that is conveyed at every moment. It is an ideal movie to have a good time and even to watch with the family. [Full review in Spanish]
