Critic Reviews

David Sterritt

This intensely topical satire tackles a wide range of important issues, from corporate whistle-blowing to the toll sexual license takes on stable family structures. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

A messy -- but uproarious, timely and provocative -- farce. Read full review

Scott Tobias

While not quite a red herring, the corporate stuff serves as a prelude to a long-winded and mostly embarrassing treatise on alternative lifestyles and filial responsibility. Read full review

Jon Strickland

Lee hits almost every note wrong, from Terence Blanchard's overplayed score, to underdeveloped roles for Ellen Barkin and John Turturro, to stale one-liners. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

It's hard to say what's most disappointing about She Hate Me, Spike Lee's absurdly - and arrogantly overlong comedic drama. But there are plenty of options to choose from. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

About as awful as a film can be without being the ultimate awful, which is boring. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

She Hate Me manages to be at once racist, homophobic, utterly fake, and unbearably tedious. This time, it's Spike Lee who's doing the bamboozling. Read full review

I love loved she hate me. I did get a little bored for a second but I mean what movie doesnt have a boring part in it. This movie has got to be the sexiest movie I have ever seen. Nothin I love better than to see two women gettin it on! Plot was great and entertaining! Forget what all these I love loved she hate me.

I got it; I liked it. Movies are for entertainment and that I was. Comedies are comedy and an exaggertion of life. Two thumbs up.

This movie was absolutely atrocious in almost every sense of the word, especially considering the talent that was in front of the screen in this film. Luckily enough, none of them seem to have suffered any career setbacks because of it
