The Hustle (2008)

In a world clouded by disappointment, Freddie Manning, a disgruntled pest exterminator and single father, is always in search of a sliver of hope to brighten his humdrum life. A twist of fate propels him into his most daring exploit yet when he stumbles upon a colossal hoard of mob money. Alongside his skeptical best friend, Junior, Freddie plunges into a wild chase through the city, only to lose their newfound fortune. This misadventure lands them in the crosshairs of the formidable Asian crime lord, Toshiba Ohara, and his fiery daughter, Han, who demand a staggering $10,000 within a week. With no clear way out, an unexpected opportunity arises when they are mistaken for the anticipated Replacement Ministers at a dilapidated Baptist church during a routine pest control call. Trading their mundane exterminator uniforms for minister robes, they ignite a fervent fundraising campaign within the small yet passionate congregation. Freddie, devoid of any theological knowledge, delivers uproarious yet heartfelt sermons that stir the hearts of the congregation. To his astonishment, his counterfeit healings start manifesting as genuine miracles. The journey forever transforms not only the church and its community but profoundly impacts Freddie and Junior, who learn the true value of faith and redemption. With captivating performances by a stellar ensemble cast including Al Shearer, Charlie Murphy, Tamala Jones, Brigitte Nielsen, and David Alan Grier, The Hustle weaves a tale that will ignite your spirit and leave you chuckling in delight.
