Le coup du siècle

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.

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!

I saw the bad rating, and as always, still decided to see for myself. I ordered on vudu, and again, as always, I enjoyed the movie, despite the negativity...so go figure. Not sure why the hate on this movie. Just doesn't make sense. It was funny, and all around entertaining. I laughed nonstop. Im not really a fan of Anne Hathaway, but I am a huge fan of Rebel Wilson. The pair worked well together. Yes, Hathaway's fake accent wasn't the best, but it wasn't enough to make me hate the film. The people rating this a 1 and 2 are just ridiculous. You can't take those serious, because its just unrealistic. Not oscar worthy, but funny and entertaining. This movie is not meant to be taken seriously. Its a comedy. And that is exactly what it was.

Sir Michael Caine once said "Rather than remake a good movie, remake a bad one, you can only improve it" Advice not taken in this instance. Lately Anne Hathaway has made a habit of making bad remakes or sequels of hit movies (Oceans 8, The Hustle). She has the talent to make good movies,But is making schlock like this.

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.
