,” in the role of a bling jeweller with a sports-gambling problem. In “Hustle”—which isn’t nearly as morally severe as “Funny People,” as freewheelingly tragic as “Uncut Gems,” or as aesthetically distinctive as either—Sandler gets to indulge the sport that he loves and fuse it with the garlicky, life-worn insiderness of his entertainment career.
He plays Stanley Sugerman, a former Temple University college-basketball star who has put in thirty years behind the scenes. He’s an international scout for the Philadelphia 76ers, and his many years on the road have wearied him and abraded his home life with his wife, Teresa , also a former Temple star athlete, and their teen-age daughter, Alex .
The French say, “There’s no such thing as love, there’s only the proof of love,” and that’s the central idea that Stanley imparts to Bo—the lesson of effort and self-discipline that’s required to make it to the pros. Bo, though clearly a star in the making , doesn’t yet have the physical conditioning, the mental outlook, or the skill set of players who can turn pro—players who, at colleges in the U.S. or on international teams, have had the benefit of infrastructure and coaching.
