Reviews for She Hate Me
Top CriticAttractively cast and at times amusing, but it's undermined by a plot that doesn't make sense and plays like three-and- a-half genre movies fighting for screentime in one overlong one.

Top CriticIf this is a subtle inversion of the sex wars it passed clear over my head as Anthony Mackie grunts his way through five ecstatic women a night

This film is so all over the place that Spike Lee drowns out his own argument and sabotages the story.

Top CriticSpike Lee's She Hate Me begins with money.
07/31/04
Using sex so amusingly, Lee makes satire sexy.
09/10/04
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.
07/29/04
A smart, sexy and original comedy.
07/29/04
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.
09/03/04
Forget the politics, bawdy humor wins out.
07/28/04
When it comes to social issues, Lee is fiercely, admirably activist, but when it comes to sex, he plays into stereotypes and myths that are all the more easily reinforced because they occur in a raucously comic context.
07/28/04
Top CriticMay not be subtle or disciplined, but it is funny as hell.
07/28/04
Watching it is like listening in on a heated debate amongst five people about various issues where all of them are talking at once and no one is stopping for a breath.
10/05/04
Fun to watch and fun to think about later; it's chockful of provocative statements about corporate morality, sexual hypocrisy and what's wrong about both today.
08/05/04
The shards of this film have more audacity and intelligence than most of what is out there and its failures are more interesting to ponder than most films' successes.
08/19/04
A reminder that Spike Lee is one of our great American filmmakers, unafraid to address, directly and artfully, contemporary issues in a context of national history.
08/19/04
Within its messy framework there's a lot to like about She Hate Me.
