Sleek, polished, glamorous Josephine goes head to head with fat, unpolished Penny as they compete for position as scammers in an affluent Mediterranean resort.
This comedy is a female-oriented take on the Michael Caine/Steve Martin movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It has garnered moderate criticism, some virulent, on IMDB, but I quite enjoyed it. There is a school of thought which seems to take great exception to any female prominence, let alone headlining a film, let alone let alone headlining a film which was once headlind by men. I'm not one of those - it doesn't worry me.
Anne Hathaway plays Josephine with a dodgy upper-class Brit accent which fits in well with her overall dodginess. Rebel Wilson plays, well, Rebel Wilson. You know, fat, crass, knockabout humour with an air of mild sleaze.
But the two women are both quite likeable, and there are some funny lines.
