Josephine Chesterfield is a glamorous, seductive Brit with a sprawling home in Beaumont-sur-Mer and a penchant for defrauding gullible wealthy men from all corners of the world. Into her well-ordered, meticulously moneyed world bursts Penny Rust, an Aussie who is as free-form and fun-loving as Josephine is calculated and cunning. Where Penny amasses wads of cash by ripping off her marks in neighborhood bars, Josephine fills her safe with massive diamonds after ensnaring her prey in glitzy casinos. Despite their different methods, both are masters of the art of the fleece so they con the men that have wronged women. (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM))

A new character from a comedy movie culture came into the light – Rebel Wilson, so it wouldn’t be wise for Hollywood producers not to use this chance and employ her comedian talent in some straightforward comedy movie. Moreover in this one, we get an excellent Anne Hathaway in a supporting role. So much for positives. From the comedy aspect of this movie you should expect a total classic. Sometimes better, sometimes worse, but ideal for your leisure time.

Anne Hathaway steals the show again after Ocean’s 8, she is obviously good in these roles, and the funny Rebel Wilson is a nice second. The film may not bring anything new to the table (Will Smith's Focus, for example, is much better), but it's enough for a dull afternoon. The surprising twist at the end was quite good. 60%.

I'm happy to boost a film's rating again, since lately I’ve been the one dragging them down. But since I don't care if my laughter is caused by more or less intelligent humor, I can't follow the crowd here. Laughter is just laughter, and the girls made me laugh uncontrollably several times. I don't even like Rebel, but on the other hand I admire how she can make fun of herself, and combined with the wonderful Anne Hathaway she didn't even bother me much. 3.5 stars.

The Hustle is not a particularly smart comedy that will bring you to your knees in laughter, but thanks to the charming Anne Hathaway and the wacky Rebel Wilson, I was happy to sacrifice an hour and a half of my time and let myself be carried away by the cunning and exceedingly mean tricks of these two seemingly diametrically opposed characters and actresses. I liked that this is not a completely flat comedy, but one that managed to deliver some surprises and plot twists.

Ces jours-ci, j'ai la chance de voir des comédies plutôt réussies. Et avec celle-ci, je suis enchanté ! Anne Hathaway et Rebel Wilson ne pourraient mieux illustrer le terme « opposition » tant leurs personnalités et leurs personnages diffèrent de A à Z. Drôle, intelligent, plaisant et plein d'esprit.
