Critic Reviews

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

    If you're truly adventurous in your movie-going and fed up with movies that play by the numbers, play it safe and come with audience-fawning reassurances, then She Hate Me just might be the harsh cinematic tonic you crave.

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    Succeeds in finding something to offend almost everybody.

  • Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

    A misshapen and sometimes sorry affair that aims for satire, without always being clear about what it's attempting to satirize.

  • Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

    [Lee's] most muddled message movie to date.

  • Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic

    Lee presumably had two ideas, one an exposé of pharmaceutical greed, the other a sex comedy: then he decided that neither one would make a film in itself and came up with the lame idea of combining them.

    Aloha, Spike, what is up with this? No worry, shrimp curry, I've had some dry spells myself.

    [font=Century Gothic]In "She Hate Me", John Henry Armstrong(Anthony Mackie) is a 31-year old single vice-president at an up and coming biotech company. He is sad because he is not yet a father. He is even sadder when his friend, Dr. Shiller, jumps out of his 40th floor… More

    I will forgive thee Spike. Just don't give me a new version of ambitious-anti-yuppie-elements that includes rivers of tedious blockhead performances and wooden outcomes, oh...and judicial soliloquies. There has to be a slight knowledge in what you're trying to satirize dude,… More

    The second star is for the sexyness and humour of SOME scenes. Nooo, it is for Kerry Washington. Any film with her gets a star just for including her. ;-) Apart from this, I am deeply offended by some of the content (as a queer woman) and miss the subversive, controversial and GOOD… More
