Review of The Hustle

The Hustle (I) (2019)
1/10
Just bad!!!
20 August 2019
This movie is another chapter in Hollywood's trend to remake funny movies made in the 80's, while adding a feminist twist to them. They ruined Ghostbusters, now they're ruining Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) which was a great comedy with great actors and an intelligent script.

This movie takes the original script in an almost identical fashion and updates it with a modern take. The acting is bland and the jokes not that funny. Rebel Wilson has done some hilarious acts in her previous movies, but this one simply doesn't cut it. The caliber of the original script wasn't meant for her.

Hollywood has ran out of original writers. All they do is try to recycle successful classics, and they're terrible at it. Billion of dollars and they can't come up with original TV shows and movies anymore!? Shameful.
