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.

Lee seems to have no idea where he wants this satire to go.

Scattered, clumsily ambitious, sexist, amateurish and just plain dumb, She Hate Me is a bad film, most likely the worst film Spike Lee has ever made.

Might qualify as the most misguided, ill-conceived and lamentable film of [Lee's] career.

It's not only unfathomable and borderline offensive, it's never-ending, leaving its bewildered and battered audience in the dark for well over two hours.

Finally, a movie that can vie with Gigli as the worst feature of the new millennium.

Maddening, invigorating, ridiculous, hilarious and messier than a rack of ribs without a napkin.

It's a muddled, overlong, politically incorrect satire that goes wrong in so many ways it's hard to know where to begin dismantling the thing.

I will not say that I liked it. I will say that like Bamboozled, it exasperates and resonates.

Spike Lee’s bold voice is lost in a sea of snaky narrative threads that squeeze the plot and virtually choke it to death.

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.

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.

The kind of extravagantly bad movie only a genius could make, She Hate Me feels like an embarrassingly public nervous breakdown.

Within its messy framework there's a lot to like about She Hate Me.

Lee should know better -- he's too talented to be serving up this kind of silliness, and so are his actors.

A uniquely insane film which should be experienced and needs to be seen to be believed.
