Critics Consensus

The Hustle's stars might make an effective comedy team in a different setting, but this gender-flipped remake of a remake adds little beyond its feminine twist.

A generally unfunny and regressive remake.

This is a slab of cold, unfunny comedy, just lying there, very very odd given the two talented performers at the center of it.

The Hustle just isn't very good, and the only con being pulled is on any audience member who has found themselves coerced into buying a ticket.

It’s not even bad enough to get needlessly angry over. It just exists; a stasis that’s probably more demeaning than if the film had been purely horrendous.

..a decent time-passer…the humour is girlish, silly, and without the whiff of misogyny that makes the previous versions feel rather unpalatable today…

Whatever you want to call Chris Addison’s The Hustle — a remake, a reimagining, a lazy retread — either way, his film is unoriginal, uninspired, and unworthy of your time.

Lots of fun! Definitely goofy but just the right amount. Entertaining!

If you enjoyed Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (more than once) you may enjoy this return to its sunny Mediterranean shores.

Absolutely one of the most painfully unfunny, unoriginal, uninspired and unwatchable movies I've ever seen

Bon les deux étoiles c'est pour le duo Anne Hathaway et Rebel Wilson, et les quelques moments drôles. Cependant, il faut bien avouer que le film n'est pas incroyable....
