Going into The Hustle, my main fear was that all the best parts would be shown in the trailer and I would leave feeling slightly disappointed. This seems to be an issue that’s becoming more and more frequent in comedy movies these days. The film stars Anne Hathaway, an actress I have adored since The Princess Diaries, and Rebel Wilson, known for her role as Fat Amy in the ever-popular Pitch Perfect series. Despite my doubts, I was curious to see how these very different actresses would work together and I made my way to the theater. I found myself pleasantly surprised, for the movie had some unexpected twists and turns, and thankfully, not all the comedic bits had been previewed in the trailer.

The Hustle, directed by Chris Addison and written by Jac Schaeffer, is a gender-swapped remake of the 1988 film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, which is a remake of the 1964 film Bedtime Story. Even though the movie is a remake, I do not feel like that takes away from the originality and value of the movie in any way. It might be because I have not seen the two remake movies, but in my opinion, the movie does not feel like a remake. On the contrary, it seems fresh and the chemistry between the two co-stars is fabulous, they work well together.

Typically, people watch comedy movies to sit down, relax, and step away from the stress that life can bring. Comedies are a great source of light-hearted entertainment that promise a good laugh, and Night School (released September 28) seems like a movie that will do just that. This movie is produced by Will Packer, the same man responsible for producing the movies Ride Along and Girls Trip, and Kevin Hart, the star of the movie.
Teddy Walker, a man who struggles with learning disabilities, drops out of high school and makes a point of proving he can have an amazing life without an education. In the beginning he has it all, an awesome car, a successful salesman job selling outdoor patio furniture with the promise of one day owning the business, and let’s not forget the ever-popular movie trope: the hot dream girl that every man wants, Lisa (Megalyn Echikunwoke). After a proposal gone wrong, Teddy blows up his place of employment and his world is turned upside down. To get a new job, he must attend night school.
