Hustle Parents Guide

Feel-good sports drama

‘Hustle’ is a feel-good sports drama with some heart, but it does lack the meaty storytelling you would expect from a movie in this genre. The storyline relies on a coach-and-trainee dynamic between Bo and Stanley, who struggle to believe in themselves and each other. Ultimately, both men depend on one another to succeed, and their relationship has deeper meaning than their individual accomplishments.

Hustle’s characters are likeable, and it’s easy to relate to the characters and situations presented in the movie. It’s also based loosely on the NBA, so it’s often intoxicatingly close to the sport. The film also includes cameos from NBA stars such as Julius “Dr. J” Erving and Carlos Hernangomez, but the actors don’t seem as confident in the more dramatic moments.

Unsuitable for children under 17

Rating systems are designed to help parents determine whether a movie or television program is suitable for younger viewers. Parents may find the material unsuitable for younger audiences due to moderate violence, some sexual situations, and crude indecent language. Unsuitable for children under 17 ratings are assigned by the Motion Picture Association of America’s (MPAA) Classification & Ratings Administration.

The NC-17 rating denotes that the content is too adult for children. However, it does not mean that the content is pornographic or obscene. The ratings should not be taken as negative judgments, but as guidelines for viewing the film with your family. Make sure you communicate your child’s preferences with you and your children so they know what kind of content is appropriate.
