All My Friends Hate Me--My take on the movie with spoilers!

 PLOT SUMMARY: When Pete spends a birthday weekend with his friends, he begins to suspect they may be turning against him.

Who doesn't enjoy a horror-comedy? You get an amalgam of two challenging yet entertaining genres in one movie. Perhaps that is why horror comedies are on the rise.

Over the years there have been several horror comedy movies such as Shaun of the Dead, Scary Movie, Willy's Wonderland, Bloody Hell, The Trip, etc.

These are all movies that have done justice to both genres it claims to be a part of.

But then comes a movie that sells itself as a horror comedy and has none of these elements and what you get is a movie that is barely watchable.

All My Friends Hate Me comes into that category.

ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME Movie Plot

Pete boasts to his girlfriend Sonia about his friends planning a birthday weekend for him. Sonia will join him a day later so he has time to reconnect with his friends from college.

Pete is overly excited to show off to his friends about how far he has come from the prankster he was in college and how he has dedicated his life to charity work now.

Still, he wants to impress his friends with how cool he is, and along the way, to get into the mood, he plays electro music.

He stops to as for directions and a local man has fun with him before giving him directions. Before reaching his destination, he also notices a parked car and a dog tied to a rope. Pete tries to rescue the dog from whom he thinks is a dangerous homeless man and fails. He gets back into the car and drives off.

Pete finally reaches the estate and the house, finds cars parked there, and announces his arrival, fully expecting his friends to be excited at seeing him.

However, no one comes out. He enters the house, goes through every room, and still doesn't find anyone around. Giving up, he relaxes on the sofa, gets into a blanket, and waits.

A long time passes before a friend pops in and is surprised to see Pete. He tells him there's a misunderstanding and he was never really invited. I mean, what made him think that a friend would want to have his birthday at his house?

Pete's face falls before the friend tells him he was playing a joke on him. The rest of the friends come in: George and his wife Fig, Archie, and Claire. They also bring along a guy they met at a pub, Harry.

Pete is immediately displeased to see Harry as his friends talk to the stranger more than him. Pete tries to get his friends' attention by narrating a story about the local he met. The friends barely pay attention and when they do, they don't find it amusing when he mimics the local. Turns out, the local is a caretaker of the house. He overhears Pete and gets pissed off.

Pete shrugs off his embarrassment and tries to connect with Claire, his ex-girlfriend. Later he learns that Claire tried to commit suicide when she and Pete broke up. Pete is shocked and assures his friend that he won't bring up the subject of his engagement to Claire.

After an unremarkable evening, Pete heads upstairs but meets with Fig who tells him that he isn't doing too great yet. Pete gets forlorn and takes his pills to calm himself.

Harry keeps popping into his private space, in the bathroom especially, peeving Pete. Harry is also made to share Pete's room and has the annoying habit of sleeping with his eyes open.

Pete awakens the next day to find that his friends have left without him to go to a restaurant. He is stuck with Harry to walk to the restaurant. Pete suspects Harry is the dangerous homeless man with the tied-up dog. Harry looks at him as if he has gone crazy. He also lets Pete know that his friends may not find him interesting nor confide in him about everything.

ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME Ending Explained with Spoilers!

Realizing that his friends and Harry already have inside jokes, Pete gets jealous and gets into a tiff with Harry following which he stomps into the restaurant to find all his friends there ready with a surprise. Pete feels foolish to have doubted his friends and tries to enjoy the party but can't help noticing that Harry might be replacing him in the group.

Later his friends take Pete for shooting and he does terribly at it prompting his friends to feel like he did it on purpose. Pete tries to convince them he had a good time and brings up the topic of him helping refugees and kids. Harry quickly jots down something in his notepad and Pete gets angry enough to remark about Harry's homelessness and his cruelty towards dogs.

They pass by the car Pete thought belonged to Harry and he sees a homeless man in the car. Pete realizes he just insulted Harry for no reason. His friends get miffed with Pete for insulting their new friend.

When they reach the house, Pete's friends blame him for Claire leaving abruptly because she still had feelings for him and he practically rubbed his engagement news to Sonia on her face. Pete denies telling Claire anything but nobody believes him.

Pete is pissed off and gets further agitated when he notices his pills have been tampered with.

Sonia finally arrives and Pete is glad to see her. Harry puts up a show which is basically roasting Pete. He has a plastic bag on his head and Pete thinks Harry knows about the terrible prank Pete played for which he still feels guilty. Sonia is also not amused to hear jokes made on her.

Claire returns, clearly not offended by Pete's engagement.

Pete loses his cool, andinsults Harry who finally tells him that he was Plank from college, the goof who they all had adventures with but one Pete forgot.

Pete is still so angry by Harry's remarks he bashes a vase at his head.

The next morning Pete leaves with Sonia who is angered by how the weekend turned out. Pete tells her that he would understand if she wants to break the engagement. Sonia admits she wants to.

Pete starts to have a breakdown when Sonia tells him she's joking. She remarks that she was only kidding and Pete need to learn to take a joke. Clearly his friends were only pulling his leg like they used to in college but they hadn't changed although Pete had over the years. Or perhaps Pete tried to appear mature in front of his friends and didn't want to come off as the prankster that had played a terrible prank.

The movie ends.

The questions remain. How did Sonia arrive at the house? Taxi? Because they do show Pete arriving in his own car and they both leave in one car.

Also, where were the horror parts?
