I like movies ok, literally every movie I have ever watched I liked. The bar is EXTREMELY low in my book, it does not take a lot to impress me, and I'm entertained by everything. But oh my god. Never have I EVER felt the need to write a review on a movie before. However, this movie had me PHYSICALLY repulsed the entire time. PLEASE do not watch. If I could go back in time I'd punch myself in the face and knock myself out for ever choosing this movie. I was physically hiding under blankets and covering my face with my hands every 30 seconds out of how cringy and painful every scene was. I've never experienced second hand embarrassment and cringe like that before. There was no actual chemistry between the actors, nor build up between the two AT ALL. All the lines were so forced, the way they talked was like the lines were written by nerdy children trying to write an imaginary love story about them and their crush in 6th grade. An extremely sad excuse for an enemies to lovers trope- actually, not once were they actually enemies. There was also no comedy, whatever the exact opposite of laughing is, is what I was doing the whole time sitting through this movie... I think the action I'm looking for is gagging. Also, there was not one spicy scene. So not only was it not funny, it wasn't sexy, and one could seriously argue it wasn't romantic. It was fake, boring, and disgustingly predictable. And hey, I don't mind predictable. But dude, you can't be unfunny, bad acting, cringy script, no chemistry, no spice, boring, unrealistic, embarrassing, no trope, forced, and have hardly any storyline. Like damn! Chose one! I beg you. Save yourself. Choose a different romcom. One that is silly or hopeful or spicy, not one that makes you want to vomit, rip your eye out, and regret every decision of your entire life that led to the point of watching this movie. If I could give this movie zero stars, I would. Actually, I wish I could give it negative stars and have it removed off the face of the Earth. That's about all I have to say. I wish I could emphasize how bad it was, but the only way you'll truly understand is if you watch it yourself, but do not. This review is trying to save you from the worst 1hr 45 minutes of your life. The Hating Game is actually the game of "hey! what's the most hated movie we could possibly make? what's a movie, that we could create, that's so bad that not only will everyone hate it, but they'll also hate themselves for ever watching it?"
