Review of Haters

Haters (2021)
2/10
Not worth being called a film
28 January 2023
French teenagers' idol Kev Adams stars as a Youtube influencer who tries to confront his top 10 online haters. This storyline merely serves as a pretext for a tiresome series of 10 lurid and unfunny sketches, in which all of France's movie & TV comedians (Franck Dubosc, Elie Semoun, Fred Testot, Philippe Lacheau... as well as JCVD himself!) compete for the most preposterous cameo ever. There is definitely a blatant lack of professionalism in all aspects of this enterprise: sloppy writing, awful video cinematography, flat editing, over-the-top or fake acting (starting with Kev Adams')... The original idea (an exploration of internet trolls' motivations for being so hateful) had some potential and might have given rise to an interesting satire of our times, but director Stéphane Marelli and writer Romuald Boulanger never even start thinking about really exploiting. A total disaster that absolutely nothing can redeem.
