Apparently some soulless hack has decided the world needs a remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels but with women instead of men and it's now called The Hustle; Anne Hathaway(a shoe in for the Dick Van Dyke st english accent award) and Rebel Wilson replacing Maurice Micklewhite and Steve "not funny anymore" Martin. In common with every film trailer ever it probably uses all the vaguely amusing bits in an otherwise st film. Is there nothing that Hollywood won't desecrate in the name of mammon?

I’m trying to imagine what this would be like, and I’m getting confused.I thought that the original was, if not hilarious, quite funny.
If Anne, (I could drink her bath water) Hathaway is displaying a crap English accent, is she not the Michael Caine character?
If Rebel Wilson, (more suited to playing Mr. Blobby), isn’t Maurice (Michael Caine), Micklewhite, then what character is she? I presume poor Steve Martin has his original role.

I know the Nationwide adverts get justifiable stick for how bad they are but just when you think they can't get any worse the latest one with some nerdy bint reciting a "poem" about her beloved giving her the battered bits of his chips leading to them spending the rest of their lives together reaches a new low point. I wouldn't be a customer of Nationwide if they paid me based on their crap adverts.
