“Two con women - one low rent and the other high class - team up to take down the men who have wronged them.”
From director Chris Addison, The Hustle is a gender-swapped remake of the 1988 comedy classic in which two down-and-out con artists engage in a "loser leaves town" contest. Check out the official trailer below!!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, The Hustle:
This is advertised as a remake of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (1988) with Michael Caine, Steve Martin and Glenne Headly. "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is actually a remake of "Bedtime Story" (1964) with David Niven, Marlon Brando and Shirley Jones.
Because the film's PG-13 rating was originally an "R," Rebel Wilson had to go out and argue with the board that the film was no raunchier than similar comedies that had received PG-13 ratings featuring male actors. Her efforts prevailed.
