Disenchanted pest sprayer and single dad Freddie Manning is always
trying to hustle a tiny bit more from his disappointing life when he
suffers a series of setbacks that puts him in the unlikely position of
his biggest hustle yet. It all starts when he falls upon a large sum
of mob money, which Freddie and his cynical, naysaying best friend,
Junior, lose in a crazy chase through the city. Freddie and Junior are
left owing Asian crime boss Toshiba Ohara and his spicy daughter, Han,
$10,000 ~ in seven days! The pair don't know what to do until they're
mistaken for the Replacement Ministers expected at a struggling,
run-down Baptist church during a pest call. They trade their Bug World
outfits for minister robes and soon are inspiring the tiny but
enthusiastic church into a fevered fundraising campaign. Freddie knows
nothing about preaching, but his hilarious, straight-from-the-heart
sermons seem to touch people and no one is more surprised than Freddie
when his fake healings become real ones. Along the way, the
congregation and community are forever changed, but not as much as
Freddie and Junior themselves. With fresh, exhilarating performances
by a top-notch cast, including Al Shearer, Charlie Murphy, Tamala
Jones, Brigitte Nielsen, David Alan Grier and others, The Hustle will
warm your soul and tickle your funny bone.
