Based on the best-selling book, THE HATING GAME tells the story of ambitious good girl Lucy Hutton and her cold, efficient work nemesis, Joshua Templeton. Committed to achieving professional success without compromising her ethics, Lucy ultimately embarks on a ruthless game of one-upmanship against Josh, a rivalry that is increasingly complicated by her mounting attraction to him.

Critics Consensus

The Hating Game's dismayingly retrograde approach to the battle of the sexes is often offset by the sparkling chemistry between its well-matched leads.

About as bland and as easily consumed as a cone of soft-serve ice-cream on a hot day.

There are some decent twists, especially when we learn of Joshua's family history, and the chemistry between the two starsripples with possibility.

2/5

It's a familiar but perfectly viable starting point, in a genre where what matters isn't the premise so much as what you do with it. But director Peter Hutchings and writer Christina Mengert have no ambitions to take us anywhere new.

The first half hour dreadfully introduces its protagonists... However, as the unresolved sexual tension initially builds up into heat and evolves into true love and the beginning of a relationship, the story improves. [Full review in Spanish]
