Variety
"The Hustle," fun as some of it is, is a tall fizzy drink in which the fizz never completely rises to the top of the glass.

Time Out
Actual laughs would have gone a distance, but even still, The Hustle would forever serve as incontrovertible evidence that flipping the script to create opportunities for women can sometimes result in the creation of an accidental Pandora's box.

The New York Times
Comedy is in a weird place right now, and "The Hustle" deserves some credit for fulfilling its own modest, escapist ambitions.

The Guardian
Anne Hathaway detonates a megaton blast of pure unfunniness in this terrifying film. She leaves behind a mushroom cloud of anti-humour, reducing every laugh possibility to grey-white ash in a postapocalyptic landscape of horror and despair.

Sydney Morning Herald
All up, it's a pretty bloodless exercise without the vital spark that high-wire nonsense needs if it's to fulfil its sole aim, which is to raise the spirits. If not, why not?

Rolling Stone
Even with Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson as con artists, the setups are flat, the jokes don't land and the actors strain for laughs that never come. Be warned about this femcentric spin on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels-it's the audience that gets hustled.
