THE HUSTLE - film / by Stephanie Puls

The Hustle is an American comedy starring Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson as con-women and whilst the quality of the storyline is definitely not going to knock your socks off, it’s a bit of good fun.

The plot is unsurprisingly pretty stupid (think pretending to be vision-impaired to trick people etc) but if you can get past that you’ll find some pretty funny lines delivered with beautiful comic timing by Rebel Wilson and some good slapstick humour which is right up my alley.

So if some light, silly entertainment is what you need, then this is worth a look. If you require any sort of substance then give this one a miss! Check out this three star review (fair, I reckon) in the Fairfax press if you want to know more about the storyline. The Hustle opens 9 May and is rated M. Trailer here.
