影評：
• 一場大學同學會及生日聚會，引發英國特權階級中年男子的疑神疑鬼⋯⋯滑稽且非常機智⋯⋯
• 這部電影由湯姆史托頓和湯姆帕默共同編劇，他們在愛丁堡合作了兩部《Totally Tom》舞台喜劇且大受歡迎，本片確立了兩位創作者精準又不留情的自我評估，呈現出英國人的階級焦慮和人生世代焦慮。
• 《我所有朋友都討厭我》不但爆笑，也精準呈現了社交焦慮。
• 「……從頭尷尬到尾……」
• 本片絕妙的劇本出自喜劇二人組Totally Tom（飾演Pete的湯姆史托頓和湯姆帕默）之手，首次執導電影的安德魯蓋諾，則是透過共同友兼喜劇演員丹尼爾西蒙森和兩人認識。安德魯蓋諾隨後又執導了兩部《Totally Tom》脫口秀。
• 本片靈感來自史托頓本人參加某場婚禮的經驗，當時他忽然偏執地覺得自己不受歡迎，《我所有朋友都討厭我》的手法擺盪在另外兩位知名導演之間，既有魯本奧斯倫的尷尬笑點，也有班懷特利的詭祕恐怖。

Reviews:
• A birthday-party college reunion gives rise to a hilariously squirmy skewering of thirtysomething neuroses among Britain's privileged class…..ferociously witty…..
• Written by Stourton and Tom Palmer, who have collaborated as Totally Tom on two well-received Edinburgh stage comedy shows, the movie is really a testament to its creators’ wincingly accurate, take-no-prisoners self-assessment, which operates, Britishly, on the level of both class anxiety and life-stage/generational angst.
• ”All My Friends Hate Me,” is hysterical and a poignantly all-too-real look at social anxiety.
• ‘…a nonstop cringefest…’
• The lethal comic script is the work of comedy duo Totally Tom (Tom Stourton, who also plays Pete, and Tom Palmer), whom debut feature director Andrew Gaynord initially met through mutual friend and comedian Daniel Simonsen. He’d go on to direct two of Totally Tom’s standup shows.
• Inspired by a rush of paranoia that Stourton once experienced at a wedding where he felt unwelcome, “All My Friends Hate Me” effectively splits the difference between Ruben Östlund and Ben Wheatley as it pinballs between squirmy laughs and sly horrors.
