Josephine Chesterfield is a glamorous, seductive British woman who has a penchant for defrauding gullible men out of their money. Into her well-ordered, meticulous world comes Penny Rust, a cunning and fun-loving Australian woman who lives to swindle unsuspecting marks. Despite their different methods, the two grifters soon join forces for the ultimate score -- a young and naive tech billionaire in the South of France.

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.

Entertaining enough for a night in. No need to see it as a direct remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, just enjoy it for what it is, a bit of fun.

This is a pathetic, tacky, poorly acted, sub-standard and weak remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Rebel Wilson is her usual overblown, warped, grossly over-Australian, unfunny self in her attempt to be Steve Martin. Anne Hathaway is so sorely attempting to channel Michael Caine that she comes across as a blend of Queen Camilla and Helen Mirren. Forget this, expunge it from your watch list, blank it, wipe it, delete it. Poor and weak 👎🏽
