The Hating Game

The Hating Game (2021) is a romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Peter Hutchings. Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman share a New York publishing office, sit at facing desks, and cannot stand each other. She's warm and impulsive; he's cold, precise and obsessed with control.

Their feud runs on petty stunts and a private scoreboard of who won the day. Then a single management promotion opens up, and they both want it. The fight for that job raises the stakes, and a spur-of-the-moment kiss in the elevator scrambles everything: maybe they hate each other, or maybe it stopped being hate a long while back. Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell carry the whole thing, and the chemistry between them actually lands.

The film is adapted from the bestselling debut novel by Australian author Sally Thorne, a book that built a huge following among enemies-to-lovers fans. It's an easy night-in watch for anyone who enjoys office sparring, sharp banter and an ending you can see coming but still enjoy. Stream The Hating Game (2021) online on iFILM.
