Editorial Review:
When biotech exec Jack (Anthony Mackie 8 Mile) blows the whistle on his greedy drug-conglomerate bosses (Woody Harrelson Natural Born Killers and Ellen Barkin Sea of Love) over an insider-trading scandal he gets more than he bargained for. Once this playa is played he finds himself hitting rock bottom when an old flame Fatima (Kerry Washington Save the Last Dance) blows back into his life with the ultimate job offer: father her child no strings attached. Teaming up to turn the tables on corporate culture he sets up shop as a stud-for-hire at 10 G's a pop for a bevy of wealthy lesbians. When Jack delivers the goods even his ex's glamazon gal pals can't resist his considerable...charms. Torn between love and money Jack chases his American Dream all the way to the bank. But things heat up when Jack impregnates the Mafia daughter (Monica Bellucci The Matrix Reloaded) of a notorious boss (John Turturro Secret Window) triggering the FBI to expose Jack's cash-cow scheme.System Requirements:Running Time: 138 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 043396059542 Manufacturer No: 05954
Description of She Hate Me:
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
She Hate Me Reviews:
GREAT JOB...SPIKE LEE....KEEP TELLING THE TRUTH 
2008-10-02 - I absolutely love this film! I hate when people can not take a good movie a really give it the credit it deserves. I have watch so many BS movies that have went to the big screen and made millions of dollars and they were horrible. But think about it? It's all about the marketing. And this movie was and will be that little known GEM of a movie that has so many points of views in it that makes you think. I really didn't get Spike Lee movies until I became a little more mature in how people truely are and how this world really works. When your young and dumb you don't see it or face it as much. But, like in this movie Spike puts in government corruption, sex, discrimination, sexism and a world wind of provoking thought. When I first heard about the movie, I was not given any spoilers. I was just told "You gotta see this movie". And every since then, I have been hooked. Plus, Terance Blanchard (music composer) never ever fails to put this movie right were it belongs in the sense of mood and feel. Which only adds to the movie. I could go on and on about the various different breakdowns of how good this movie was. But I don't want to include any spoilers so I will keep it to myself. But, for the most part this movie is so multi-dimensional that, whoever gave this movie less than 3 or 4 stars needs to see a doctor. Because plain and simple, you just can't look at this movie as being one thing. That's what Spike Lee has been doing in his movies and that's what he will continue to do. Despite his hater critics and those people who loves being untrue to reality and themselves. My only question for any dumb a** haters about this movie is? What, you don't think that something like this has ever happened or couldn't happen? Because damnit, it could and you never know, it probably already has. We don't entirely know the way of this world and how demonic, perverse and vile we can be when we are faced with certain situations. So, my final thought to you haters are. Don't judge so quickly just to satisfy your flat 1 dimensiona minds. GREAT JOB SPIKE LEE!!!
Great movie
2008-08-29 - Although this movie "She Hates Me" didnt do well at the box office, when it was out. This is a very well done movie by spike lee it brings up issues that has never been thought of this way. or if it has been thought of it has not been put in a black film quite like this. (smile)
I dont believe he was given enough credit for this one and personally I dont think many in the film world was ready for this one lol. This film is amazing I personally thought also this was one of his better films, right up there with the popular ones spike has done. I particularly took note of and enjoyed the powerful role women has in she hates me.
She Hates Me DVD 
2007-11-22 - This film depicted a situation that was quite radical; but given the appropriate circumstances, the results were incredible. The moral of the story may be different for different people, but I got it. This DVD is a permanent addition to my collection. For the right crowd (no children), it's a great "video party" movie.
One of my all time favorite movies!
2007-05-10 - I absolutely love this movie.. i saw it once and knew i had to have it- and of course Amazon delivered in a timely fashion. This movie has everything. The truth, politics, alternative lifestyle and sexuality, it makes you think... It is one of my all time favorites and i reccomend it... but it's not for the kids.
Must see
2007-01-08 - Great movie, can't understand why it didn't do well at the Theaters. Maybe Spike Lee should re-release the movie. I really enjoyed and must see.
