Summary: I really like this movie!
Review: I really like this movie, but be warned: They go a little overboard on the sex jokes and profanity. It just gets a little old.

Summary: Pretty funny (3.5)
Review: Third Rock from the Sun? It's kinda wierd to see the couple in this movie and on the TV show. OH well . . .

"10 Things", like the better teen flicks out there, is loosely based on classic stories. "Clueless" is based on Jane Austen's Emna. "She's All That" is based on (sort of) My Fair Lady/Pygmalion.

It's not to say that "10 Things" or those other films derive even 1/10th of the original's inspired creativity. That's not the point. The fact is Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew", like the other stories, gives at least a base for entertaining characters and great sitcomy situations.

And "10 Things" works well with that. It's not deep. It's not that clever. And the direct Shakespeare references are sorta weak. But, it has some pretty well-done funny, and sitcom-romantic moments with contrasting characters and a complete story. You're always having a good time with the flick, you'll be totally rooting for the guy, and "10 Things" definitely hits it off with how sisters can be. How many teen flicks have that nowadays?

And oh yeah -- the lead female actress rocks.

Summary: Best movie ever!
Review: I love this movie. As soon as I saw it I fell in love with it. I am also from the Seattle area and just moved so it reminds me of home. My whole family loves it (except my dad who hasn't seen it). I really recommend it.

Summary: why do Hollywood movies have fake Aussie accents?
Review: This is a very entertaining and funny movie - fairly well crafted and had good chemistry between the cast. But WHY oh WHY do they make Heath use such a fake australian accent?

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This movie is one of my favorites. I'm 12 years old, but I've watched it with my friends, parents, and my little brothers. Every person I watched it with found it hilarious. It was very well written! It was so funny, and I want to buy the video as soon as it comes out! Even if you're not much for romance, I'd have to say that you'd STILL like this movie with it's comedy and even the story. I hope you found this helpful! Bye!

Summary: 10 Things....
Review: Preparing a paper for my Shakespeare class on productions of "Taming of the Shrew," I decided to rent "10 Things." Now, granted, I tend to be an incurable romantic. That said, I absolutely adored this film. I loved picking out the relation between the film and the play. It was great, because it helped me somewhat with my paper. I thought it was cute, sweet, adorably funny, incredibly romantic...all around a wonderful movie.

Summary: Timeless and ageless
Review: This movie appealed to me immensely even though it centers on high school students and I am a 24 year old graduate student in English. It is a perfect example of the timelessness of Shakespeare because it shows how the characters he created (in this case, in The Taming of the Shrew) and their experiences are universal and we can identify with them nearly 400 years later, whether we are 17, 24, or 50. As a movie lover and a sucker for romantic comedies, I am always disappointed in those that have cheesy, sappy, or unrealistic love confession scenes, but this movie handled them well and I was thrilled. The characters and relationships were developed as well as you can hope for the genre. I was thoroughly entertained by the whole movie, the characters, and the soundtrack and, of course, I Loved Heath Ledger's character, Patrick!
