Summary: The best teen movie ever!
Review: This is a great movie! Until a few weeks ago, I had no intention of seeing it because it looked like another stupid teen movie. Then my cousin made me watch it on DVD. I was shocked! The movie had everything a teen movie needs: two hot young costars, a cool soundtrack, and a prom scene. But it also had depth, wonderful acting, and laugh-out-loud dialogue. Now I can quote all the funny lines. "Like, I like my Sketchers, but I love my Prada backpack!"

Summary: Best movie of the year!
Review: Ten Things I Hate About You is one of the best films of the year. It's a movie that just draws you in and makes you feel like one of the characters! I rented it and watched three times, then bought it and watched it everyday for two weeks! It's that good. It is not another "teen flick" where mindless teens focus on two things: Sex and popularity. It gets to the heart, loving someone for who they are, not their level of popularity. I have read Taming of the Shrew, and thought that this movie portrayed it wonderfully! Congrats to the casting directors, every actor played his/her role extremely well, especially Julia Stiles! This is a wonderfully acted film and deserves all the praise it receives!

Summary: A Smart, New Movie Filmed In My Home Town
Review: I enjoyed this film for its fresh, new stars and clever wit, but most of all for the fact that a majority of it was filmed in my home town, Tacoma, Washington. Tacoma is about 40 miles south of Seattle. Stadium High School is the beautiful, towering school (once a hotel) that the main characters attend. Kat backs into her nemisis' car in front of Ted Brown Music in downtown Tacoma. Kat and Bianca live in a beautiful, yellow Queen Anne style home in one of Tacoma's beautiful neighborhoods that overlooks Puget Sound. I thought the movie portrayed our city in a very positive light that is appropriate for the Shakespeare theme (even though they say it's in Seattle). It was very exciting having Hollywood come to us; I live less than a mile from that neighborhood and know people who lived kitty-corner from the "movie house". Many of my friends' older siblings from Stadium were extras in the film. I enjoy the plot - the character's personality's don't fluctuate or surprise you that much, but they are played by a talented young cast. I recommend this movie and am out to say, "Tacoma is NOT Seattle!" Enjoy!

Summary: By Far, the Best of the Recent Rash of "Teensploitation" Flicks
Review: "10 Things I Hate About You" is a teensploitation movie. Don't get me wrong, because that's not a bad thing. At least, it doesn't *have* to be a bad thing. But the reason that most people over the age of 21 groan when they hear about yet *another* movie about teenagers, is because the teensploitation fad has given us the recent "Scary Movie," and less-recent releases like "American Pie," "She's All That," "Varsity Blues," "Can't Hardly Wait," and the abysmal "Drive Me Crazy." Now, there's nothing wrong with putting a bunch of attractive twenty-somethings in a plot about the trials and tribulations of high school. But (and this is my only complaint about "10 Things") could they at least aim for a little more realism? Whose high school looks like a castle? Who has gone to their senior prom to find all the attendees dancing in unison? Who's ever had an inappropriate sexual encounter with an apple pie, and who has ever had a hot exchange student masturbate on their bed, live on the internet? Other than the few instances where the viewer is forced to suspend disbelief (come on, we all know that Joey Donner is a closet nancy-boy), "10 Things" is a pretty good movie. If it weren't for modernized versions of the Bard, many of us wouldn't be able to stomach the mandatory studying of "Romeo and Juliet," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Macbeth," and of course "The Taming of the Shrew." By putting the plot and characters in a setting that most people understand-high school-the filmmakers have proven that Shakespeare's work is truly timeless, and definitely worth studying. (I don't mean to insult Shakespeare fans out there-in fact, I admire you; you're a lot smarter than I am!) "10 Things" is funny and has its touching moments-like when Patrick (Heath Ledger, "The Patriot's" adorable Aussie) serenades Kat (Julia Stiles) in the stadium. When I saw that scene, I thought, "Who cares if it's believable? That's so sweet!" Several notably good scenes include the party, where the writers say (by way of the students' acceptance of social outcast Kat only after she performs a drunken table-dance, something she would never normally do) that "everyone's popular when you're drunk." During the inevitable prom scene, when Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) fights with Joey (Andrew Keegan, in a wonderfully snotty performance) to defend the honor of Bianca (Larisa Oleynik), it shows that likes her for who she is, and not just because she's pretty. The movie has good character development and some great acting, especially by Ledger, David Krumholtz as Cameron's A/V Club pal, and Allison Janney as a demented guidance counsellor. Don't write it off as just another teen flick-it's a big fish in a small pond, and it's not only watchable, it's enjoyable.

Summary: Really entertaining
Review: I thought this movie was great, lots of funny and romantic moments. This is the best Teen movie i ever watched, and believe me i've see tonnes of them and didn't really like most of them. This is why it took me a while to decide to rent this Movie. The Soundtrack that comes with this movie is also really good. They play the right songs in the right moment which makes the viewer pulled into the story.

Summary: Worthy of being in the genre of 'teen'...
Review: After continuous teen movies with a popular girl, the popular girl's clique, the jock who wants the girl, and the boys who help the jock get the popular girl, of course let's not forget the famous shocking prom night and a kiss before the credits (seems familar?), I think the young generation, or any generation for that matter, is a little exhausted from the usual routine. In this highly acclaimed 'teen' movie, influenced by the comedy Taming of the Shrew written by William Shakespeare, the routine is still on, but with a new and refreshing twist. With unfamiliar, yet talented new faces, this brand spankin' new cast is entertaining from beginning to end.
Newcomers Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger light up the screen as the potential couple who incidentally fall for each other. The stratford sisters live under strict rules stated by their strict, humorous father: Bianca, the younger, outgoing sister, cannot date until her older, anti-social sister Kat (with the perfect I-hate-the-world attitude) decides to date. As soon as Bianca attracts two fellow students, their plans on finding Kat a date lead to mishaps here and there. With witty dialogue and great music to go along with it, this movie is worthy of being in the genre of 'teen'. It's right up on the list with Sixteen Candles and Clueless.

Summary: 10 Things I Hated About This Movie... and One Thing I Liked.
Review: 1. This movie had a bad script. 2. They had marginal actors. 3. An overall bad idea for a movie. 4. It dragged on and on. 5. I would've rather watched the Blob again (for me it was a terrible movie) 6. The people who were dating kept on getting mad at eachother and made up about three times. 7. It was filmed in Tacoma which is right by Seattle, but they said it was in Seattle. Our city got no credit what so ever. 8. I don't need to watch other people solve their teenage problems because I've got my own. 9. I had to spend $12 on it to watch it in a hotel only once. 10. Elizabeth Berkley or Gina Gershon weren't in it. The one thing that I did like about it was that it was filmed in my home town, at my friend's house, at my high school, and my friends were in it. That's the only reason I'm going to buy it. I'm a movie fanatic and I'd like to be able to point out all the places in my school where a scene took place and mumble it happily but quietly to myself.
