American Hustle? If there was any sex, it wasn't memorable. I certainly don't recall any. And no lesbian scene. Not sure what previews you're seeing.

Are you thinking the movie is about porn or prostitution or some such sex industry? It's not. It's loosely based on the Abscam FBI operation in the 1970's.

Maybe they saw the scene when Jennifer Lawrence roughly kissed Amy Adams? But that was like a Mafia kiss-off kiss, like when in The Godfather, Michael Corleone kissed his brother Fredo to indicate he was a goner. Not sexual.

Oh that's right. Forgot about that. Definitely kiss-off, not lesbian. They HATE each other.

I think that was the scene in the previews. If it's just a kiss off, that's not a big deal then.

Yeah, Amy Adams is JLaw's husband's mistress. There's definitely no love there.

I saw it with my college=age son, who surprisingly agreed to see it with me; and we both liked it.

I saw it last night and thought it was a great movie! Very well done and there were no overly dramatic scenes or cheap laughs, which I hate.

I think there is already another American Hustle thread and this one may be merged with it.

I absolutely *loved* it. Such a nice break from superhero stuff and other action movies.

Seems like it bored some people, I suppose it will end up being in another one of those "Overrated" or "Movies Everyone Loves But You Don't Get" threads.

I guess some people need more than talking in a movie.

I was enthralled with the acting, the humor, the theme of reinventing yourself, and how far you can take this. Loved Amy Adams, and enjoyed Jennifer Lawrence.

wasnt really interested in this film but shoved it on... and was on the computer for the first 20 mins only listening, then looked round and saw Christians Bales character... dont know the actor well but something about him had me interested and I started to watch it....as it progressed I began to like all the characters except Amy. not keen at all on her ... but found Bale and Cooper marvellous.. and Jennifer too was much better than I expected. so a good film that had me smiling too.glad I watched it...

I also thought the selection of Jennifer Lawrence was terrible. Shes a good actress and all, but shes way too young for that role. I dunno, anyone else think the movie could have been better?
I refuse to watch any movie if Christian Bale doesn't look hot in it. It'll ruin my fantasies about him.
