About
If you like light con-comedy with rival swindlers and occasional laugh-out-loud moments, The Hustle may work; Not for you if you want clever, fresh material—especially if you didn’t enjoy Dirty Rotten Scoundrels or Fun with Dick and Jane.
Pros: fun heist vibe; decent performances; some laughs | Cons: comedy falls flat; little chemistry; predictable and boring
