Critics Consensus

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

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.

3/5

[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.

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

🥰😍 7,0 Uma comédia mexicana bobinha e bonitinha, com protagonistas adolescentes, tudo meio abobadinho, mas a confusão e o desencontro dão o toque magico a esse romance engraçadinho, e o padrinho é divertidamente fofo... Infelizmente não encontrei a sequência "Me encanta pero me espanta" de 2021 para assistir... Um passatempo simples e leve… #film #films #cinema #filme #movie I Like It, But It Scares Me (2017) - A silly and cute Mexican comedy with teenage protagonists, everything a bit goofy, but the confusion and misunderstandings give a magical touch to this funny romance, and the godfather is hilariously cute... Unfortunately, I couldn't find the 2021 sequel "I Love It, But It Scares Me" to watch... A simple and light pastime…

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.

So homophobic it is hard to assess it in any other light.
