"Both love and hate are mirror versions of the same game - and you háve to win."

Executive assistants Lucy Hutton (Lucy Hale) and Joshua Templeman (Austin Stowell) are rivals for the promotion to managing director of their publishing company. The ensuing fierce verbal sword-play are accompanied by undertones of flirtatious banter. What happens next is no surprise for any romantic comedy.

Who wins the game?

• "The Hating Game (2021)" | Official Trailer (HD) | Vertical Entertainment

• Angelina Jordan - "Mercy (from The Hating Game Soundtrack)"

"I have a theory. Hating someone feels disturbingly like falling in love with them."
