    • Metascore: 52
    • James Greenberg 50
    Great material, but the film never catches fire.
    • Metascore: 49
    • James Greenberg 50
    What starts out seeming like a poor man's Woody Allen morphs into something closer to an American version of "Scenes From a Marriage."
    • Metascore: 54
    • James Greenberg 50
    Alternately compelling and dramatically limp, the film scores points for exploring unfamiliar territory but lacks the emotional depth to make some very strange behavior believable.
    • Metascore: 47
    • James Greenberg 50
    Their heart is in the right place, and their tale is colorful, complete with Indian dancers in ceremonial costumes dancing on a street corner.
    • Metascore: 72
    • James Greenberg 50
    Designed to make you laugh and squirm, Lovers of Hate does more of the latter.
    • Metascore: 57
    • James Greenberg 50
    Cleverly put together by writer-director Matthew Bate, the film takes a bizarre, cult folktale and turns it into a picture that is more provocative than entertaining.
    • Metascore: 55
    • James Greenberg 40
    More dumb than funny.
    • Metascore: 47
    • James Greenberg 40
    For much of the way, the film just feels like it's pressing too hard to make an impression.
    • Metascore: 43
    • James Greenberg 40
    It comes off as an unpleasant, unrealistic morality tale. Loaded with music and pretty bodies, the film has a chance to lasso a young, indiscriminate audience of Kutcher fans.
    • Metascore: 48
    • James Greenberg 30
    Loaded with obtuse symbolism, the film is not only hard to understand, it isn't much fun trying to figure it out.
    • Metascore: 47
    • James Greenberg 30
    Not so much blasphemous as just outrageous for the hell of it.
