KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia has banned the movie "Hustlers", a Jennifer Lopez film based on the real life exploits of a band of strippers who fleeced clients after having drugged them.

 

Malaysia's government has been accused by art critics of being a nanny state for its conservative position on the films it allows to be shown in the country. In August, the film censorship board (LPF) cut out gay sex scenes in "Rocketman", a movie based on the life of British singer Elton John.

 

The ban on "Hustlers" was announced over social media late on Thursday by the movie's local distributor, Square Box Pictures.

 

No reason was given by the distributor, but the LPF said it was packed with so much obscene content there would not be much of a film left after it had made all the necessary cuts, according to a report by AFP.

The LPF did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

 

"Hustlers" - inspired by the real life story of Samantha Barbash and three others who stole at least $200,000 from men they had drugged - collected over $30 million at North American theatres in its opening weekend last week.

This year she is 50 years old!

Who wants to see a movie with a 50 year old stripper?

And in MHO, her looks are fading fast.

Maybe time to hang it up and just be a memory of better days.

That movie review differs slightly from the one I read ..in that they just targeted specific Wall St guys ,and that it was a revenge motive .not sure what for ..
I guess I could watch it to find out .
It opens at cinemas on about the 26th , but is already available on my Android box movie app.

Jennifer Aniston is 50 and not long ago played a stripper in "The Millers". She's still got 'it'.

For anyone thinking of seeing it in Thailand my personal review says "Save your money". What a snooze.

I dont go see any movie in a Theatre unless it has an actor I like (which is basically Keanu Reeves, Tommy Lee Jones and one or two others I know by face) and there a lots of gusnhots, car crashes, laser beams, eviscerations, beheadings, aliens tearing out guts while folks writhe and scream and/or space ships and Porsches. I prefer movies without a female lead, a plot, or kissing.

 

I dont get to go to the movies very often.

Australia banned these more than likely because they were insulting to a religion or culture.

Australia is too sensitive at times.
