It's COOL! We've got Black Friends! Two rich clueless film school graduates "the Filmfakers" are shooting a "ghetto" interpretation of an ancient Greek play with the Gangsta Sistas (Olivia Wilde: Alpha Dog, The OC & Megalyn Echiwunwoke:24, That 70's Show) on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Their equipment is "borrowed" by three street youths, "the camjackers" who use it to shoot a compelling documentary on underground hip-hop. The filmfakers rep off the camjackers' film and rise to fame and fortune, but when the camjackers see their stolen film on TV, they must seek revenge.
My review’s title is a nod to Shakespeare and is entirely deliberate. The original movie portrayed the high-end fashion world as a brutal arena of plotting, backstabbing, and betrayal, and most Shakespeare’s plays depend on these plot devices. The Devil Wears Prada 2 uses the same formula, and is, plot-wise, almost identical. Once again, we plunge into the cutthroat world of Runway, where to get and stay at the top, you must let go of your principles and moral sense. The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.

"Hustlers" returns power to groups that are traditionally deprived of it: women, the working class, and sex workers.
