Review: ‘Hustle’ is another step in the right direction for Adam Sandler.
, Sandler does his once surprising, now familiar shaggy nice-guy thing—his somehow animated mutter running at a modest speed as Stanley Sugerman, a talent scout for the Philadelphia 76ers who dreams of coaching. Stanley, of course, has a haunted past: a foolish and disastrous mistake ended his college basketball career, haloing his otherwise happy life with a glimmer of sadness.blare into thoughtful world-weariness.
, an insistently affable air kept us engaged. I’d imagine that’s an enjoyable vibe to play around in, feeling like you’ve been invited into the friendly hang of a movie. Thus, perhaps, we haveas Teresa, Stanley’s supportive former track star wife. It’s a rare treat these days to see Latifah in a movie ; perhaps we have Sandler to thank for this welcome, if brief, return. I’d gladly watch the pair in another project together.
The main chemistry of the movie, though, is between Sandler and Hernangómez, the latter playing Bo, a protege plucked out of obscurity in Spain. He lives a hardscrabble life with his mother and his young daughter, and while the brass at the Sixers don’t approve, Stanley sees great potential in this hulking, elborately tattooed kid with a troubled past.
Because this is a later-career Sandler movie, though, the grind is not quite as grinding as it might be elsewhere.moves airily along—the expected setbacks are encountered, but they’re weathered with humble grace and then gently moved past. Hernangómez is not the most expressive actor, but he reacts well enough to whatever Sandler throws at him.
