Directed by Peter Hutchings, The Hating Game stars Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell as two co-workers who start a rivalry that is complicated by her growing attraction to him.

Here are some reviews:

“Thorne’s novel might be best known for its hot-and-bothered sex scenes, but she also built a romance with real stakes and big emotion, and Hutchings and his stars translate that to the big screen with ease. Why can’t every rom-com make it look so easy?” (Kate Erbland – Indiewire).

“The film is very pleasant and manages to succeed in what many romantic comedies often fail to do — be entertaining and worth revisiting.” (Ferdosa Abdi - ScreenRant).

“For fans of best-selling novel by Sally Thorne, The Hating Game movie will satisfy – quite a feat given the cult status the novel has achieved, with its delicious sexual chemistry throughout, for which Lucy Hale and Austin Powell are supremely well cast. This is a film well worth a watch in the Christmas period.” (OffTheRecorduk.com).

“The Hating Game sticks to the rom-com playbook and delivers an enjoyable movie that anyone who watches should appreciate.” (Nathaniel Muir – aiptcomics.com).

Prorom will bring The Hating Game to theaters in Romania on December 17th and in Hungary on January 20th.
