Hustle

“Sandler and Hernangomez have a sweet, goofy chemistry, somewhere between razzing and familial, and the on-court sequences are consistently electric. Hustle isn't reinventing the sports-story wheel; it's hardly even spinning it forward. But in the moment, they're having a ball.”

“Hustle works, and it works beautifully, thanks to Sandler’s commitment.”

Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 90

“Hustle may not surprise you, but that doesn’t detract from its charm. There are mountains for the characters to climb, a sense of connection to others, and other ideas that feel especially rewarding right now.”

Karen Gordon, Original-Cin · 83

“A few sour notes aside, Hustle is a solidly compelling, surprisingly watchable basketball movie.”

Vince Mancini, Uproxx · 83

“There’s a depth of feeling and a disarming sincerity to the movie that keeps you watching. Even the inevitable triumph seems refreshingly understated.”
