Anne Hathaway's 2019 went from bad to worse after Serenity, as she was paired with Rebel Wilson for Netflix's remake of Michael Caine and Steve Martin's Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. While Hathaway is involved in both of these train wrecks, she is not the worst part of either. In the case of The Hustle, that award goes to Rebel Wilson.

Even those who aren't yet tired of the same old routine Wilson shoe horns into almost every performance will struggle to find any positives from her portrayal of Penny Rust. There is something of a similarity between her and Adam Sandler in that they seem to believe a 'one size fits all' performance will earn laughs regardless of the situation.

Even despite Hathaway's piercing, tough to listen to English accent, she at least puts in an effort to be entertaining, making the best of this bad situation. Wilson, on the other hand, applies her usual awkward, sarcastic character, relying far too often on her body type for attempts at humour.
