    A fairly sensible RomCom

    Two workers hate each other but are also attracted to one another.

    This is more Rom than it is Com and I liked the leads.

    The feud didn't go on for as long as I was expecting - I really thought they would squeeze every last drop of animosity out of the pair before moving on but they didn't.

    The pair get to a point where they see things are getting out of hand and talk it through like adults.

    This made the film feel more realistic and the characters more believable.

    This was refreshing but did vent some of the fun from the movie.

    The plot is still pretty silly and as always the hunk has some crippling experience he needs the love of the right woman to fix for him - but that is the nature of the beast.

    The two had chemistry and were fun characters. There is a lot to like here.

    The editing was a bit snappy and the camera operators had itchy feet.

    The worst thing about this was the supporting characters. It looks like they are going to be setup and fleshed out but you only get a nibble of character before they are pushed off screen, only to be dragged back on to do something stupid for comedic purposes.

    It really felt like they were crashing a party they weren't invited to and that annoyed me.

    Good solid fun - but not a classic.

    Great chemistry and faithful adaptation.

    Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman "hate" each other. They work together and they are the exact opposite of the other. But they do have something in common: they are both very ambitious, so things take a turn when they are competing for the same job.

    I think that as an adaptation is very accurate. Quite faithful to the book. At least the most important scenes are there.

    Lucy is the real star of this movie. Nothing against Austin but she truly shines. They have amazing chemistry.

    There is not much to say about this. There barely is a plot here. It's not perfect but it is enjoyable as any other romcom these days. There are two characters with sexual tension teasing each other and pushing each other's buttons and that's truly where the fun lies. Add great chemistry between the leads and you got yourself an enjoyable hour and a half.

    Smiled throughout the whole movie

    At first glance it seems like the typical and predictable romcom but it had me pleasantly surprised. Think I had a smile on my face throughout the whole movie.

    The two leads played off each other so well with such charm and chemistry.

    Probably one of my favorite romcom's from the last couple of years!

    Entertaining Non-Hallmark Hallmark flick

    One doesn't tune in to movies like this for the plot, or some earthshaking message. This isn't Hemmingway, or Tolstoy, and the reviews that trash flicks like this are easily ignored.

    This Rom-Com follows the same cookie-cutter plot formula one sees on Hallmark, but the writing and execution are far more adult, and the character interactions haven't been sanitized into oblivion. This isn't a movie for children or grandma, due to the inclusion of R-rated language and the sexual content, although that is not gratuitous or graphic in any sense.

    The chemistry between the leads is present, so by comparison, that clearly shines. You'll find much deeper chemistry elsewhere, but the mere presence of a somewhat realistic connection between the leads makes this flick shine when compared to the dull, wooden exchanges one finds portrayed in the movies this film will be compared to.

    The supporting cast matches up, even though a couple are mere cut-outs, but overall, the hour and a half was entertaining, even though we know how the story is going to end as soon as it begins, but that's not the point of films such as this.

    Shortcake, you're going to love this hate to love story!

    This is a film adaptation of the romantic comedy book by the same title The Hating Game. The general plot is one about two executive assistants (Lucy and Josh) for the two co-directors of the merged organization of two fundamentally different publishing companies who now work together sharing the same small office...and who hate each other.

    This film takes place right before Thanksgiving and going into the holiday season, allowing for Christmas decor without being in your face about the holidays. It also starts with Lucy, played by the actress Lucy Hale, giving us a little run down on why she hates Josh and some of the games they play with each other. A new promotional position is announced that both Lucy and Josh want...and it is game on.

    Great banter...wonderful hate to love romance that has some pride and prejudice vibes to it. Wonderful chemistry between our two main characters.

    This film made me realize how much I love the hate to love trope!

    Sweet, funny, biting dialogue...I highly recommend and will watch it again!

    The only scene I did wholeheartedly enjoy was the paintball scene, but that was because it was a little hard to keep track of who was who and what was happening...but it was brief and lead to some very sweet scenes between Lucy, Josh and Patrick (Josh's brother).

    I loved Josh's nickname of shortcake for Lucy...and the green paint...just melt my heart. Loved it!

Lucy is holding a mug with tea and a teabag which she is dipping in and out of the mug. When they step out the lift and Danny throws her a book the tea bag is no longer in the mug and the mug looks empty.
