I thoroughly enjoyed "She Hate Me", but I did so because it's such a masterpiece of howling ineptitude. It's a kind of movie you cut some slack the way you would Guns N' Roses' "Estranged" video (the one with the flying dolphins and Axl jumping off an aircraft carrier), because it's clear to you that the visionary behind it has clearly lost his mind. Spike Lee, who always makes movies with something to say, here tries to cover corporate greed, lesbianism, a touch of the mob, and the plight of the brave whistle-blower, but he crams his movie so full of ideas that nothing seems to clearly get through. And it's too long, with scenes where a character describes something in detail, and then we see it reenacted in flashback; as well as a cameo by John Turturro where he has a monologue that is completely unnecessary given the purpose of the scene. But the film's hilarious male-fantasy premise (as well as the ending) make it an entertaining experience. If anything, it's what a parody of a Spike Lee movie would probably look like.
