Reviews:
”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.” Berardinelli, Internet Critic
”Below Average Spike Lee's shrill, juvenile polemic crams ideas about corporate greed, same-sex parenting and racial stereotypes into a narrative torn from the video store's adult-movie section. If it weren't all so cluelessly sleazy it might be funny.” TV Guide Online
”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.” Newsday
