The thing that made Dirty Rotten Scoundrels such a classic, other than Caine and Martin who were fantastic, it's the gender role reversal at the end of the film. Making a progressive film ironically gives a man the upper hand in the end.
I agree completely. And what was really great was the very end, when she came back. This was so key because this really showed who was who: Yes, Glenn Headly was clearly the master of all of of them, but how about how Caine played right into the part that Headly threw at him? Without a split second of rehearsal, Caine immediately becomes the Aussie Chips O’Toole! She knew he’d catch in without kissing a beat! And then, she wisely chose to make Steve Martin a “mute” 😂! Martin was good, but he wasn’t quite a Jedi yet! Headly and Caine were.
It is almost as though they make these gender swap remake films as charmless and bad as possible just to piss us off even more and shit all over the original franchise.
The scenes in the Hustle are just boring compared to DRS. Martin and Caine are just much more talented actors who fill the screen with their personalities
The difference is that Steve Martin's character is very much, oh, I'm hungry, I don't want to impose. But since you asked, I suppose I could tell you a bit. And as long as you buy me a cheeseburger, I could tell you a bit more of my sobstory. It's such an obvious con that Michael Caine is laughing in the background. And all he gets out of it is a cheeseburger. It's just a soft con that nobody can object or even identify the guy scamming free cheeseburgers because he needs to get to his mom for his surgery. In the remake there's some chick copying the plot of Taken.
Why would they even make a remake? Why not just a sequel?? Imagine a story of the now "three" swindlers at the end of the original? That'd be a riot too.
Same reason they decided to remake Ghostbusters rather than doing a sequel. They just need to be woke for the sake of being woke and it's just horrendous. Just like how they are now making people gay just to say "we have a gay character". It's to the point where the character's whole reason for being there is just so that they can check that box.
I just remembered this remake, the scene where Rebel Wilson plays the blind prsn and Hathaway plays the doctor. Not funny to begin with and even less so when compared to Micheal Cain whipping Steve Martin's legs. I saw a couple more scenes and decided it wasn't for me. DRS has been a favorite of mine since i was 4 and i don't want to waste my time
The original film was a favorite for my brother and I growing up, saw the remake this weekend and watched out of hate loll, did not do any justice for the original and just kinda picked and plucked the scenes they wanted to copy
So in conclusion the hustle is just a toxic feminist remake of dirty rotten scoundrels that executes everything worse. I really hate how every new movie has the logic of: Man bad woman good
All I did was look up "the Hussle is just dirty rotten scoundrels" (as in a copy) and the first thing that came up was about how saying Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is better is sexist....like, I never even watched it, but now I can safely say it's probably shit and they are just saying that because you dare not like it.
The comparison analysis is "ok"... but I also don't really care much for the host's "fat shaming" analysis. We could use a lot less profanity in today's commentary as well. Art imitates life right?
I don’t know why people give The Hustle such a bad review. Yes, it’s wasn’t the best movie released that year, and in general, and it’s predictable on its own without knowing the original/s, but it’s still a good movie to watch when nothing else is on and provides enough comedy to get viewers to the end. AH is stunning as always, and RW does a good job with comic relief and not making her character to unbelievable. I really think it’s because Audiences still don’t enjoy watching females pursue male characters as well can’t accept women in duel funny/comedic roles while portraying powerful and semi-raunchy characters. It’s not a great movie, but it’s still a fun and funny watch; it’s definitely not as bad/terrible as Rotten Tomatoes and other “critics” make it out to be.
*YoU jUsT hAtE sTrOnG wOmEn* God, change the fucking record! Also in case you didn't mention I did address the issue. This movie isn't feminist, it's downright sexist
Eating sugar from a package is not funny or realistic, talking about sex slavery is not funny, the idea that a fat lady is intrinsically "dirty" messy etc is not nice, I don't like it either the way he expresses about actress Rebel in the video , she's doing what was requested of her, what is awful is the script, not the lady. She has interpreted those kinds of roles in the past and those roles made her famous, and the reason they hired her, she just plaids her part.

@@MrBastilleDay It was brilliantly written all the way through. A classic.
It is almost as though they make these gender swap remake films as charmless and bad as possible just to piss us off even more and shit all over the original franchise.
Impossible to remake Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It is a comedy classic.
Actually, the "original" is a remake of Bedtime Story with David Niven and Marlon Brando.
Comparing these two is like comparing Gold and that stinky crap you find in your belly button.
The scenes in the Hustle are just boring compared to DRS. Martin and Caine are just much more talented actors who fill the screen with their personalities
It is just so much better written and charming as well.
Jesus. I figured some day they’d try to remake this. Impossible.... the original is just too good.
The "original" itself is a remake of Bedtime Story.
Frank Oz was asked to be in on The Hustle. He declined.

I liked your commentary and analysis.
I remember seeing the trailer for Hustle and the first thing I said was that it was a blatant Dirty Rotten Scoundrels ripoff & I was right.
I liked DRS much more than Bedtime Story with Marlon Brando. That was the original.
That’s ..... just sad. That they even made the hustle. AH should’ve known better.
I'm now SO tempted to see The Hustle... only so that I can love DRS even more (I've seen it about 25 times).
Without The Hustle I wouldn’t know about Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, I think both movies are great but the original is the best
Don't waste your time with The Hustle. Watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and it's source, 1964's Bedtime Story, with David Niven and Marlon Brando.
I just remembered this remake, the scene where Rebel Wilson plays the blind prsn and Hathaway plays the doctor.

The hustle is not all that bad but i do agree that its not as funny and brilliant as the dirty rotten scoundrel.
What did I directors for the hustle actually do 😂
Why disgrace a perfect concept like the comedy of 1988? Though I hear it’s a remake of an earlier film with Brando; gotta catch that !
Bedtime Story
totally agree bro. hollywood golden years are in the past
It’s the freaken same movie I just put on dirty rotten scoundrels a few minutes ago and now I can’t enjoy it 😢
All I did was look up "the Hussle is just dirty rotten scoundrels" (as in a copy) and the first thing that came up was about how saying Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is better is sexist....like, I never even watched it, but now I can safely say it's probably shit and they are just saying that because you dare not like it.
I mean both scenarios are completely outrageous. Neither one is believable.
Well yes all scams are kinda unbelievable, but one could fool someone while the other is only going to lead to a hard pass. Guess which is which.
The first one with the boys is better
The comparison analysis is "ok"... but I also don't really care much for the host's "fat shaming" analysis. We could use a lot less profanity in today's commentary as well. Art imitates life right?
The movie was copied plain and simple.
The reason “the hustle” is better is because the man comes out on top in the end.
Damn 😂
Lmao brilliant
Thanks for spoiling the movie I'll never watch.
Not even that saves it, not even close!

If you want to see a woman in a funny role watch the original Overboard, that also has a remake that isn't nearly as good.
Rebel Wilson is just not believable in this role. It would be like remaking it with Kevin James in the role. Neither one is charming in any way.
