American Hustle

After a clever, pudgy, New York dry cleaning businessman (Christian Bale), who has a dastardly comb over and a ditzy wife (Jennifer Lawrence) and an adopted son (Danny Corbo), and his ambitious girlfriend (Amy Adams) are caught by an equally ambitious, perm-haired FBI agent (Bradley Cooper) in 1978 in fraudulent investment schemes and selling fake artwork in this Oscar-nominated, engaging, hilarious, well-acted, 129-minute comedy, cons run amok when the FBI (Louis C.K., Michael Peña , et al.) and the district attorney (Alessandro Nivola) coerce the pair into helping take down corrupt politicians (Jeremy Renner, et al.) and a Mafia kingpin (Robert DeNiro).
