The Hating Game

"It was ok, kind of funny. A one-time watch for me "

"I wanted to love this movie because I adore the enemies to lovers trope and I heard that the book was good, but the film was just mediocre. The main problem was the chemistry between the main leads. Lucy Hale was giving it all she got, but the male lead was just not up to par. He was great in the more in love moments of the film, but for most of the movie he was trying so hard to be this brooding Mr. Darcy type that came off more monotone than sexy. This was really detrimental to the film, as it made all the scenes that are supposed to be seeped in sexual tension (ya know, the scenes enemies to lovers thrive off of) stale. I’ll give the book a chance, but I can’t see myself sitting down to give this movie another watch. It’s such a shame because the film had such potential, it just wasn’t executed properly."

"Cute enemies to lovers workplace romance. I love Lucy Hale and she does not disappoint in this. Quirky with a little bit of spice, but mostly predictable romance. I enjoyed it. "

"It’s cute. Meh but cute. Worth the watch if you’re in the mood for a rom com "

"Holy mother of Jesus… Wow! This was really really bad 1.5 ⭐️ "

"Short and sweet. This movie would have been better with more “hate” and steam, but enjoyed it anyways. "

"Okay I didn’t read the book but I thought it was a good movie. It’s a solid 4 stars for me. Love their banters and some part is cringy but we gatta embrace the cringy yall! Ugh I wanna read the book now😛"

"I really liked it!! It’s a nicely done romance movie that has you swooning a couple of times. I just… I think a different actor would’ve done a little bit better as the male lead. "

"I went into this movie with no prior knowledge of what to expect and I actually enjoyed it a lot. At first, I figured it would be your average Netflix romcom like Set It Up or Holidate (there is certainty nothing wrong with that. I love those movies). But I realized a bit into the movie that there was some sexuel tension, some spice added in, which I actually liked. Typically I hate those types of Romcoms because they feel too cringey or creepy. But this one hactually featured consent, respect, and communication in a sexy and fun relationship. I appreciate the decisions made in this movie because it actually got me to blush a little, but i only rolled my eyes to a cheesy over romantic line like 2 times. I would say this is a great movie if you like a little banter, teasing, a strong enemies to lovers plot- but I would not recommend this for a family movie night romcom."

"🌶️🌶️ The actors have great chemistry, I loved the novel and a little is lost in translation to the film version. Still a good watch. "
