Berardinelli, Internet CriticFull Review Above Average "She Hate Me" is a mixed bag, but at least it's interesting and almost never boring. For the first three-quarters of its running time it stays on track. ...during the final half-hour, it starts to lose its focus and the storyline spins out of control. By the time the sugar-coated ending has wrapped up, some viewers may have forgotten what it was all about to begin with.
NewsdayFull Review Average Wordy, preachy, overlong and self-indulgent, "She Hate Me" is also admirably ambitious and, at times, extremely funny. For every charming small moment like this, there are far more scenes of overblown, self-satisfied drama. Having Jack throw a tantrum at the bank when he's denied access to his money isn't enough; his screams must compete with the trumpet of Terence Blanchard's score. And that, too, is typical Spike Lee.

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.
