Movie Reviews of 10 Things I Hate About You
Movie Review: A True Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a wonderful movie. It has some really good things to keep in mind when you personally are going through high school and if you have already been there is reminds you of how you were in high school. How there will always be those jocks, the smart kids and the outsiders but you make it the experience you want. A true classic in my books.Movie Review: Exactly what you'd expect.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a perfect example of the teen comedies that glutted the theaters in the late 1990's. The fact that it riffs on Shakespere doesn't lend any crediblity; "Taming of the Shrew" has been filtered through decades of other movies and television shows, so this plot is thus neither new nor surprising. On the plus side, the acting is great and the whole crew manages to keep the intense teen cheese to a minimum. Nevertheless, a great teen comedy is far from a great movie.Movie Review: Cute and Funny Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
'10 Things I Hate About You' is a movie we have seen so many times before, containing all the usual clich?s, but somehow works because of its stars Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. Loosely based on Shakespeare's 'The Taming of the Shrew' this is a high school comedy that understands you need to use the stars in a nice way to get away with the flaws.
The ending may be all too perfect and happy but by the end you'll just love Julia Stiles' character sooo much that you'll be glad for her. There are some great laughs and a hilarious overprotected father played by Larry Miller who has some killer lines that had me in hysterics. There's not just comedy though, there's a few heart felt moments (those who've seen the movie I'm talking about the bit with the poem!) Overall I would recommend this movie to everyone. Don't be put off by the teen movie tag, because it's a really fun movie for teens and those beyond their teen years! Oh, and the soundtrack is fantastic!
Movie Review: Cute but nothing special

Nothing to Hate about this Film
10 Things I Hate about You is one of the best films made in our generation for our generation. Although it is loosely based off of the Shakespeare play Taming of the Shrew, One could not tell this unless he/she were to see the play close to when the movie came out. The screenwriters did an excellent job covering up the fact that the plot is centuries old. This modern day version is set in a high school, a very strange place for a Shakespeare play. Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik), a sophomore, is the lovely daughter of a gynecologist who delivers babies for a living. Her father makes a rule that she cannot date until her sister, Kat (Julia Stiles), does, a heartless senior who could not care less about men. This has never been a problem before but now there is a new boy, Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan) who moved to town and they both have an eye for each other. In a desperate attempt to be able to date the lovely Bianca, Joey interviews some tough guys from school. None of them are willing to try to date Kat. Finally, Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger), a senior who just moved into the area, is willing to do the dirty job, but for some cash. This means that Bianca and her prince can engage in several dates. The dad, meanwhile, is going ballistic, his plan to keep Bianca from dating, forever, is going south. The next thing that he knows Kat wants to go to the Prom with Patrick, which da! da! da! means that Bianca can go too. The movie was an overall success. The plot was interesting, thanks to Shakespeare, but with a new twist that renews the old love story into one that can be enjoyed by our generation. While it did not follow the play exactly, it did do a wonderful job sticking to the basic ideas and keeping the overall emotions the same.
