Written, directed and starring Joey Ally, ‘The Hater’ is a slice of life that any underdog can relate too with a political spin thrown in for good measure. While there is often nothing funny about politics these days, ‘The Hater’ feels like the perfect mix of melodramatic comedy that has potential to be a cult classic.
After losing her job on a U.S. Senate campaign, a liberal environmentalist, (Joey Ally) returns to her conservative Texas hometown to regroup. Upon learning her childhood nemesis Brent Hart (Ian Harding) is running for state legislature, she creates an elaborate scheme to go undercover as his opponent on the Republican ticket with the ultimate goal of forcing a Democratic victory.
