Harvard, MBA-educated biotech executive John Henry "Jack" Armstrong (Anthony Mackie) gets fired when he informs on his bosses and initiates an investigation into their business dealings by the Securities & Exchange Commission. Branded a whistle-blower and therefore unemployable, Jack desperately needs to make a living. When his former girlfriend Fatima (Kerry Washington), a high powered businesswoman and now a lesbian, offers him cash to impregnate her and her new girlfriend Alex (Dania Ramirez), Jack is persuaded by the chance to make "easy" money. Word spreads and soon Jack is in the baby-making business at $10,000 a tryst. Lesbians with a desire for motherhood and the cash to spare are lining up to seek his services. But, between the attempts by his former employers to frame him for securities fraud and his dubious fathering activities, Jack finds his life, all at once, becoming very complicated. She Hate Me stars Anthony Mackie (8 Mile, Manchurian Candidate, Kerry Washington (The Human Stain, Bad Company), Ellen Barkin , Monica Bellucci, Jim Brown, Sarita Choudhury, Ossie Davis, Brian Dennehy, Woody Harrelson, Bai Ling, Lonette McKee, Paula Jai Parker, Dania Ramirez, Q-Tip and John Turturro. A 40 Acres and Mule Filmworks Production, She Hate Me is written by Michael Genet and Spike Lee, based on a story by Genet. The film is directed by Spike Lee. Lee, Preston Holmes and Fernando Sulichin produced.

Angie Errigo

Attractively 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.

If 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.

Com idéias interessantes o bastante para render três filmes, Spike Lee realiza um filme assustadoramente caótico e sem foco para um cineasta com sua experiência.

Tighter focus would have incited the fury that She Hate Me’s ambition demands. It’s left saying too much but not enough.

[Spike Lee] is a genius who's never made a decent film.

Is Lee satirizing something? Is this all a metaphor for something? Or is it just a heavy-handed mess, full of non-sequiturs? My vote is for the latter.

The politest way to assess Spike Lee’s latest polemic is to call it too ambitious. 'An unholy mess' might come closer to the truth.

A bizarre stinker . . . it's too bad, for the sake of Lee's career, that this mistake of a movie didn't spontaneously combust on the first reel.
