Maestras del engaño

Wilson's persona and jokes are really running on fumes at this point. Finally getting the chance to fully display her array of talents nowadays, you realize she is probably just a one-trick pony. The Hustle desperately needed a splash of genius but it is nowhere to be found. A couple of gags worth chuckling about, but the film as a whole is a painful chore to get through. Predictable and nothing to remember it by.

Well.... I think the trailer is more funny than the movie itself. The script is not well written. Not many funny scenes and the acting..... was not impressed. At first I had high expectation because of the two main characters and was hoping to see great chemistry. Unfortunately it didn't deliver.

While not an academy award winning movie in any way, it was funny and refreshing like an old fashioned movie. Thank God no Marvel, or sex scenes or F words, or car crashes or special CGI effects. Wish there were more movies like this where you can enjoy a laugh without cringing or seeing another special effect. Loved Anne Hathaway. Her accents alone are worth the price of admission. So enjoy a good old movie with a plot that is funny and performances that are arresting. Don't listen to the bad notices. Everybody wants to see blood and guts nowadays. What a tragedy.

"The Hustle" is an OK movie to watch with your partner and is perfectly servicable for one and done watch, but it's not anything more than that. It's clearly a movie made for women's night out and that's not what makes it not good per se, because it offers something for both sexes to laugh at. Instead, it's the fact that most of the jokes are focused on putting our characters in socially awkward situations which is supposed to make us laugh, but in reality, a lot of the jokes fall flat. No, it's not all that funny to embarass yourself publicly, it's the way how it's done that makes it funny. The more chaotic and unhinged it is in its showcase of things spiraling out of control, the funnier it is. I think that Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson do a great job considering the circumstances, but it's not enough to elevate the movie from its mediocrity. Still, the movie does what it set out to do, and that's to offer the watcher an entertaining hour and a half and it does so well enough before it deservedly fades into oblivion. I give it 6/10 and I recommend it for a relaxing afternoon!

I had zero expectations and it turned out to be a total laugh-a-thone. There are hilarious moments in the movie that overrun the sometimes flawed or absurd script. Starts mildly slow and it builds up pretty well half way through. The ladies are very funny, Rebel Wilson is the female Zack Galifianakis! 8/10 and remember to watch the post-post credits scene!
