i be sure somewhere in she hate me lie a good story that would make for an entertaining movie . what we have and however and be a convoluted mess that try too hard to be a social satire . the premise represent jack armstrong ( anthony mackie ) and a hotshot vp at a pharmaceutical company and suddenly find himself unemployed and in need of money . when his ex fiancée turn lesbian fatima goodrich ( kerry washington ) offer him $ 10 and 000 to impregnate her and her lover alex ( the sexy dania ramirez ) and jack realizes he could be a sexual cash cow . next thing he know and he in high demand from wealthy lesbian who want child . the problem be that lee doesn not know what he want his film to be . or and what the story should be . he tackle way too many issue and never tackle any of them very well . the film open with a novel title sequence that end with a broadside against president george w. bush . fair enough . lee bit actually work . the story then turn into some sort of diatribe against corporate greed and against the blatant excess of the enrons and worldcoms of corporate america . ok. then there also all this stuff about lesbian and impregnate them . and jack conscience about whether he do the right thing . but the film then suddenly turn into a defense of frank will and the black security guard who uncover the watergate burglary . lee make a valid point that while all the player involve in the burglary and subsequent cover up go on to have lucrative career a statesman and author and speaker and radio personality and will die in obscurity . a tribute to will be long overdue . the man be a hero . but what the heck his story do in this film . and in a moment that seem completely arbitrary and lee also throw in oliver north into the mix of watergate figure . for a satire to work and it need to satirize something . frankly and i do not know what exactly lee be try to send up . and and after a while and i do not care . his movie neither a sex comedy nor stinging social commentary . in fact and at time she hat me play more like some sort of unbridled male fantasy . not only be all the lesbian attractive and but also they want to get impregnate the old fashioned way . the one lesbian who choose artificial insemination fails and so have to plead with jack to have sex with her . subtlety have never be lee forte . but in film such a do the right thing ( 1989 ) and jungle fever ( 1991 ) and he somehow find a good balance between satire and social comment . here and he do no such thing . in she hate me and lee about as subtle a a sledgehammer . what ultimately disappoint about she hate me be the often inane write . when fatima tell jack she always be a lesbian and even when she be date him and and be merely in denial and she add and and i do not mean a river in egypt . that how lame the dialogue be . it get even bad and when lee and co writer michael genet give brian dennehy positively laughable dialogue later . the corrupt business practice of enron and it tie to the bush administration deserve to be tell . a do a satire and if you must and of white collar crook who get off relatively easy and wind up have hugely successful life a a result of their crime . but this isn not the film that do it . lee clever and talented and certainly socially conscious and but just seem to be toss in every idea he have into she hate me . instead of be bitingly satirical about society lopsided value and this be a mishmash of a film that be never as funny a it want to be or as provocative a it should be .
