Critics Consensus

She Hate Me can't decide if it wants to be a commentary on corporate greed or a sex farce.

London Evening Standard

Ten minutes into She Hate Me I knew it was a bad film, 20 minutes in I knew it was offensively -- to its audience -- poor, 30 minutes in I began to wonder how it was that the producers hadn't pulled the plug on it when they saw the rushes.

She Hate Me isn't subversive, it's insipid.

This extremely graphic movie is not for kids.

Rated: 2/5

The List

[The] ending is wincingly clichéd and offensive. Nevertheless, the film's spin on new queer families and fearless reassessment of the African American male is engaging and alive. Good to see Spike doing the right thing.

Rated: 3/5

"She Hate Me" is just as tongue-tied as its ridiculous title.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

My husband turned this on tonight from Netflix... this may be the worse movie ever made. I can't stop laughing at how stupid and offensive it is to lesbians or anyone was functioning brain cells! LOL
