Fresh to DVD, The Hustle starring Charlie Murphy and Al Shearer engulfs us in a day of mishaps as the main characters (Murphy and Shearer) attempt to hustle their way out of trouble.

Directed by Deon Taylor, this Friday meets First Sunday comedy will make you laugh out loud with silly yet satirical comedic slapstick.  Filled with an ensemble of great comedians and actors that include David Alan Grier, John Witherspoon and Tamala Jones, it’s surprising this movie was not released in theaters.  And it was great to see Charlie “Eddie’s Little Brother” Murphy take a leading role.

While the film abruptly ended with quick resolutions, it managed to tie up loose ends and will leave viewers with the idea that a sequel may be in the works.

Definitely pick this one up and enjoy a good laugh at home.

I give it $$ 1/2
