Tanya’s Score: Good*
Rated: PG
Starring: a silly Rebel; a poker-faced Hathaway
Plot: Two con women with differing styles (Rebel Wilson; Anne Hathaway) team up in order to fleece rich, idiotic men in their midst.
Tanya’s Verdict: Remember the 1988 comedy Dirty Rotten Scoundrels? Well this is basically the same movie – only set 20 years into the future with con women in lieu of men.
The Hustle isn’t re-inventing the wheel by any stretch of the imagination. But it’s light and it’s funny. And in my opinion, Wilson and Hathaway work well together.
*Four score descriptions: Sh**; Okay; Good; Great
