The idea of remaking the same movie a second time, with the only notable change being the characters' genders, makes "The Hustle" feel rather pointless. Admittedly, the gender swap itself doesn't really hurt the movie in any way and that is primarily because the cast is really charming and does a pretty good job with what they are given. The real problem is that everything else is the exact same thing being done in the exact same way as before, making the audience feel like they were better off rewatching the undoubtedly superior "Dirty rotten scoundrels".
