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.

Claudia Puig FilmWeek (LAist) A generally unfunny and regressive remake. Sep 28, 2019 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review This is a slab of cold, unfunny comedy, just lying there, very very odd given the two talented performers at the center of it. May 22, 2019 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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. Rated: 1/4 May 22, 2019 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) 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. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ..a decent time-passer…the humour is girlish, silly, and without the whiff of misogyny that makes the previous versions feel rather unpalatable today… Rated: 3/5 Jun 22, 2024 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut 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. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C The worst of Rebel Wilson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Keith S Welll done remake. We'll done Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Rosana B “Não dá para enganar um homem honesto.” Comumente sou avessa a comédias, mas essas, com protagonistas femininas fortes, tem me conquistado enormemente, trapaceiras, mas como escrúpulos e moralmente com seus próprios princípios (ou não)… Um filme tão engraçadinho, tão fofinho e gentil, um pouco exagerada, como toda comédia que assim se defina, mas nada prejudicial… Remake de dois outros filmes de 64 e 88 (que ainda não assisti), mas na versão feminina… Divertido, exagerado, cativante... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review alan g A terrible unfunny very bad remake of Bedtime Story. Anne is losing her A list status. She used to be good. Rebel Wilnot never had any list status. Fat and unfunny is a way to make a career in hokeywood. Stick to singing roles. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Jose Carlos E Worst movie I seen I would give it no start but it won’t let me Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Audience Member I have a feeling (beer-loving) dudes like me enjoyed the film but not the (sensitive) chicks. Hilarious situations abound, watch out for Anne Hathaway's acting in different characters, you will see why she deserves an Oscar she won earlier. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
