The jokes keep on coming\nand coming, but they are all so similar that after awhile they get boring. The\njokes are either fat jokes or raunchy sexual jokes and easily get stale.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Hustle <\/em>is adapted from the film <em>Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, <\/em>and it features two huge stars in the lead:&nbsp; Anne Hathaway as Josephine and Rebel Wilson as Penny.&nbsp; The story follows Penny, a con artist who catfishes men and takes their money. She is coincidentally on a train with world-class con artist, Josephine. Josephine overhears Penny&#8217;s tactic to get money from an old man. She is afraid that Penny is going to \u201ctake over the market\u201d. So to get Penny out of the city she operates in, Josephine trains her and doesn\u2019t pay her, just to make her mad and force her to leave. This causes Penny to retort and purpose a turf war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Hustle<\/em> has two huge stars leading the film.\nAnne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson are both predominant stars. Anne Hathaway is an\nOscar-winning actress for her works in <em>Les\nMis\u00e9rables<\/em> and has gotten praise for her performance as Catwoman in <em>The Dark Knight Rises.<\/em> Rebel Wilson has been in\nfranchises like <em>Pitch Perfect and Night\nat the Museum.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite part of this film is when Penny is getting trained by Josephine to be world-class con artist like herself. Josephine shows Penny how to react to any situation by teaching her tricks that are used in a heist and not really to scam a man for money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nmessage in this movie is that just because you\u2019re a con person trying to steal\nmoney from men who have done you wrong doesn\u2019t make all men evil. This movie\nhas a lot of swearing and crude sexual remarks, and I strongly advise parents\nto look into the content before taking their kids. This film is no doubt\nentertaining, but once the jokes get stale the film does as well. <em>The Hustle <\/em>is appropriate for children\n14 to 18. I give it 2 out of 5&nbsp; stars. <em>The Hustle<\/em> hits theatres Friday, May 10,\n2019. <em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson star as female scam artists, one low rent and the other high class, who team up to take down the men who have wronged them.
