Critics Consensus

The Hustle's stars might make an effective comedy team in a different setting, but this gender-flipped remake of a remake adds little beyond its feminine twist.

A generally unfunny and regressive remake. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review May 22, 2019
This is a slab of cold, unfunny comedy, just lying there, very very odd given the two talented performers at the center of it. Go to Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com May 22, 2019

The Hustle just isn't very good, and the only con being pulled is on any audience member who has found themselves coerced into buying a ticket. Go to Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) Jul 14, 2024
2/5
It’s not even bad enough to get needlessly angry over. It just exists; a stasis that’s probably more demeaning than if the film had been purely horrendous. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Jun 22, 2024
3/5
..a decent time-passer…the humour is girlish, silly, and without the whiff of misogyny that makes the previous versions feel rather unpalatable today… Go to Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Aug 20, 2022
1.5/5
Whatever you want to call Chris Addison’s The Hustle — a remake, a reimagining, a lazy retread — either way, his film is unoriginal, uninspired, and unworthy of your time. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
