Themes include the importance of healthy communication, especially with a romantic partner. Although the movie - which is set in New York City (unlike the ambiguously located novel) - is slightly more diverse than the book, it's still mostly White, which doesn't accurately reflect its setting. Adults drink cocktails at dinners, dates, and receptions. The movie's kissing and sex scenes are less explicit than the ones in the book, but one does show a man's naked behind, and there's passionate kissing and some fairly explicit sexual references. Expect more language than in the typical romcom ("f-k," "bitch," "a-hole," etc.), but the movie is still likely to appeal to teens thanks to the stars and the enduring popularity of Sally Thorne's best-selling source novel on social media (including the now prevalent #BookTok). Parents need to know that The Hating Game is an entertaining, somewhat steamy book-based workplace romantic comedy about rival New York City publishing assistants ( Fantasy Island stars Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell) who hate each other.
