Hustlers
horizontal line

An entertaining, factually inspired, risqué, well-acted, love-it-or-hate-it, intermittently slow paced, sanitized, humor-sprinkled, star-dotted (Julia Stiles, Mercedes Ruehl, Usher, Keke Palmer, Cardi B, Lizzo, and Lili Reinhart), 110-minute film based on Jessica Pressler's 2015 New York magazine article The Hustlers at Scores dominated by two-dimensional characters in which a basically goodhearted, greenhorn, Asian stripper (Constance Wu), who takes care of her grandmother (Wai Ching Ho) in Queens, becomes financially successful after she meets a beautiful, ambitious, charismatic, shallow stripper (Jennifer Lopez) at a Manhattan strip club who teaches her the ropes and tricks of the trade but they end up drugging and stealing from their bigwig Wall Street clients (Frank Whaley, Steven Boyer, Ed Herbstman, Devin Ratray, et al.) after the 2008 market meltdown at which time the law steps in to spoil their fun.
