Summary: Shakespeare The Way He Intended It
Review: Think you like Shakespeare? You'll love this because it's probably close to the way he would have written it today.
Think you hate Shakespeare? You won't after you see this because it follows the original Shrew story line within reason.
Did you like Shakespeare In Love? You'll love this because it also has dozens of double entendres.
Did you hate Shakespeare In Love? You'll love this because it avoids craming all the little cute parallels down your throat.
Have no idea what I am talking about? Get this one and be amazed at how great the Bard was and continues to be. I checked out one of my local video stores the other day.....there were 15 Shakespeare videos in the hot rentals section.....not bad for a guy who died 5 centuries ago.

Summary: Who Knew Shakespeare was so funny?
Review: In this remake of The Taming Of the Shrew, Julia Stiles stars as Kat Stratford, a rebelious misunderstood teen who's sister, Bianca, cant date until she does. This becomes an obsticle for Cameron, a love struck boy who wants to take Bianca out. So he pays and talks Patrick, the scariest guy in school to take Kat out on a date, insuring his date with Bianca. But of course everything goes hay wire and Kat finds out about the plan. This movie is great. The dvd doesnt have much in the special features catagory but its ok. This is a great comedy and you cant even tell that Shakespeare even had anything to do with it.

Summary: Simply great!
Review: This movie looks like a generic, teen-dating movie but it's not. I love this film because whoever made obviously realized that teenagers really think! Basing the plot on a Shakespeare story makes it slightly more intellectual than most teen-oriented films and the dialogue challenges your thoughts more, not to mention it's hilarious!! Not to be missed.

Summary: Surprisingly Great!
Review: To be honest, I didn't know a whole lot about this movie, other than the title (which I remember being plastered on billboards all over with little to indicate what it was about). I thought it was just another teen movie, though I had heard it was based on The Taming of the Shrew. Being a fan of Shakespeare, I decided to watch it on USA today. It is now on my list of must-buy DVDs! It is finely written and well acted, an excellent modern day adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew. It's nice to see a teen movie without sex scenes (At least I didn't see any in the USA edit), and little if any in the way of offensive language.

Summary: Excellent music!
Review: This, like every other teen movie, is predictable from the start. But it also adds a couple things to keep you focused. One ex-miss popularity girl is now the outkast of the school, and her sister is the opposite. Then their dad forces them to cooperate with each other, and when they actually do its scares the hell out of him. Meanwhile the loser jock/model sets up a guy for the outkast so he can date her sister and ends up teaching everyone a lesson in love. This movie introduced me to now one of my fav bands Letters to Cleo, and also has Save Ferris, Barenaked Ladies, and others that make the movie twice as exciting.

Summary: Acid tongue /creative dialouge with kickin' soundtrack
Review: Maybe leading lady Julia Stiles 1st big role.Julia Stiles steals the show with a nasty attitude about those around her. She wants to be accepted so badly that she won't get close to anyone. She wants to be in control which leads to hateful things being said about her. For those of you who have trouble fitting in, making friends or being accepted accepted at school this is a must see.
The soundtrack is lively.

Summary: I love this movie
Review: This is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, movie. But then, I hate to say it, I love most teen movies. The storyline was weak, but the actors were great. One thing that I didn't know about this movie was that it was based on one of Shakespeare's plays.

Summary: Good Movie, Bad Storyline
Review: It was a very interesting adaptation of Shakespeares The Taming of the Shrew, but it's storyline lacked trace of reality. Yes, it's storyline was quite cheesy, and for the most common among other teen movies. Where the geek is never too ugly to become a prom queen, and become girlfriend to the most popular guy in school, of course. The characterization was amazing, the movies characters were very realistic, though that didn't seem to do it. I like the movie a lot, but looking at the bigger picture I realize that it was quite a week storyline, just as a lot of other teen movies have.

Summary: A kick ... movie (A 12 year old watcher)
Review: Poupular, pretty Bianca Stratford (Larissa Oleynik) is in a dilemma. A family rule forbids her from dating until her unpoupular, rebellious, boy-hating older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) gets a suitor of her own. In an attempt to win Bianca, a potential boyfriend (Andrew Keegan) desperately attempts to set Kat up with Patric Verona (Heath Ledger), another rebel whom may be able to win Kat's heart.
(Simpler review) Meet the stratford sisters: Pretty and popular Bianca (Larissa Oleynik, who has never had a date; and Kat (Julia Stiles), her older sibling, an ill-tempered harridan whose acerbic wit is matched only by her steadfast determination to alienate any guy who might be remotely interested in her. Unfortunately, strict rules in the Stratford household forbid Bianca from having a boyfriend until odious sister has one of her own- a situation that seems highly improbable conaidering Kat is a social diasaster. Bianca's desperation for romance turns into a convoluted scheme to match Kat with her male equivalent- a guy whose reputatiob is so infamous, Kat might rise to the challenge and find him worthy of her concealed charms. Mating mayhem ensues when Patric Verona (Heath Ledger)-- a sullen young man with a mysterious past-- is bribed by Bianca's wannabe boyfriend (Andrew Keegan) to woo and win Kat, in order to clear the way for Bianca to begin dating.
Grr gal darn it I said a bunch of bull that doesn't make any sense again didn't I? OK this time I promise to get it in simplest form. OK Here goes nothing: Bianca Stratford (Larissa Oleynik is dying to go out with Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan the babe of their school. Kat Strarford (Julia Stiles)would rather die then go out with a boy. Mr.Stratford has this rule where Bianca can date... when kat does. Bianca begs her sister to have a night of" teenage normalcy" Little does Bianca now that Joey is trying to set her sister up but also Cameran (Joseph Gordan-Levitt) her cute, but also unpoupular french tutor. Joey and Camerons" set up guy" Patrick (Heath Ledger) is trying to get Kat to go out with him. But does it work, will Kat go out with him? Will Bianca go out with Joey?
