She’s Gotta Have It’s big flaw is that it’s sometimes written from a dated point of view

The A.V. Club

“When the dialogue in She’s Gotta Have It is working, it feels playful and deliberate,” says Ali Barthwell. “But when it’s not working, it feels so painfully corny. It’s not hard to be reminded that Spike Lee is a 60 year-old man and much of the writing staff is similarly aged. The characters seem to be spewing 60 year-old opinions from their 20- or 30-something mouths.”
