In a long and varied career, She Hate Me is easily one of Spike Lee’s most unusual films. On the one hand, it’s a drama. On the other, it’s a comedy. Then there’s the structure: a crazy quilt made up out of several different stories. Even the style is a patchwork incorporating animation and pseudo-documentary–in the vein of Lee’s 1986 hit She’s Gotta Have It. It all revolves around one John Henry “Jack” Armstrong (8 Mile’s Anthony Mackie), a successful executive at a biotech company much like ImClone (the one that brought Martha Stewart down). When Jack blows the whistle and loses his job, ex-fiancée Fatima (Ray’s Kerry Washington), who left him for another woman, offers the now-penniless Jack $10,000 to impregnate her. All goes well, so they set up business together, and he proceeds to impregnate countless gay women, including mafia princess Simona (Monica Bellucci). If there’s one thing that keeps it all together, it’s Mackie, who handles the many changes Lee puts him through with admirable aplomb. –Kathleen C. Fennessy

C’mon man you gotta snap outta it ‘cuz you’re losing much track behind this. That’s why I wouldn’t see it ‘cuz it thought it was real and a lil more overwhelming. I’m sorry to judge you like this but you need to act up a little bit. I’m still a big fan to some of your movies but not all the time.
Favorite flicks I luv are MO BETTER BLUES, MALCOLM X, CROOKLYN, DO THE RIGHT THING (I can’t say much about this movie), JUNGLE FEVER, HE GOT GAME (which I seen twice), 25TH HOUR (which is good), GIRL 6 (that was hot!).
Anyway that’s all I can think of. I’m happy I ain’t buying it nor watching it. But Spike needs to focus on a lil action for a change maybe even some comedy. Sorry this isn’t what I expected.
I recommend more films asides that for sure.

Good movie for Lee fans. A good political plot but fails with the lesbian storyline.
Rating: 3 / 5
For all the haters…you must not know how wonderful Spike Lee is. The one line in this movie that sums everything up is when John Turturro says “Survival makes people do things that they know in their heart is wrong.” This movie is really shows how corporate America can screw you. It really shows how a man can be hurt by his woman cheating on him. Not all men are into the girl on girl thing. It shows a strong marriage between his parents…for better or worse…through think and thin. There were more elements of the movie than just what was shown in the television advertisement. Give this movie a chance. I highly recommend it!

This movie was surprisingly entertaining. The film had a few good laughs sprinkled throughout, and there was even an attempt to teach the audience a moral. I’m a fan of Spike Lee, and that alone was enough to get me to buy the movie. Yet, with Spike’s great creativity you also experience Spike’s personal biases and opinions. To keep from spoiling the plot for those of you who havent watched it yet, I’ll just simply say the ending wasnt as realistic as one would expect it to be. Also, this is definitely not a movie for kids. With that said I would advise any adults with an open mind and an equally liberal sense of humor to check out the film.
