Summary: Is it possible for a teen movie to be this good?
Review: This movie is very good, on account that I'm not the biggest teen movie watcher I thought that 10 things I hate about you was well put together. An all-star cast including, Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger and Larisa Oleynik. This movie has a few memorable moments in it that wont be forgotten easily. Such as when Heath Ledger began to sing in front of the soccer team, When Julia Stiles flashed a teacher (no nudity, damn!) When Julia Stiles dances to a little bit of Biggie at a big party or when Larisa Oleynik beat the hell out of this dude.This movie is about a beautiful popular girl (Larisa Oleynik) that isnt allowed to go out period, but when her father says that she may date as soon as her unpopular weird sister (Julia Stiles) begins to, a dude that has a crush on the popular girl pays this dude (Heath Ledger) a overall bad ass to date Julia Stiles, thats when things get crazy with Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles falling in love and two guys after Larisa Oleynik things heat up in this hilarious and clever comedy. My mother bought me this DVD for christmas, I had seen the end previously on television but loved it anyway. Watch this movie if you enjoy teen movies, and for those that dont usually watch teen movies dont watch. I havent tried out the special features yet but I'm sure that they're fun!

Summary: A Genre Classic
Review: Aside from it's Shakespearian roots, which may be true but are mostly irrelevant, this is a good flick. Really good. Not too smart, not too dumb, very good-natured and fully realized. I could go into more detail - mostly I just thought the plot rang true - the emotions were 'right' for their situation such that the whole thing held together very well. It didn't require a straw-man or morons to get cummupeance - the psych of the movie felt fully formed, and it was fun to go along for the ride. It didn't hurt that the actors were all naturally sympathetic and beautiful in a likeable, friendly way, so I would probably be dragged in even if it wasn't so well-built in other ways, avoiding the usual pitfalls and flaws that usually come from aiming at teenagers. This movie is sirloin aimed at the chuck-steak crowd.

Summary: funny and witty
Review: Joseph Gordon Levitt(HalloweenH2), Tv's 3rd Rock From The Sun) is in love with Julia Stiles little sister, Julia Stiles(A Guy Thing, The Bourne Identity2002) and her sister cant date or do anything unless their father, a very hilarious Larry Miller(Best In Show, Carnival Of Souls), says so. so Levitt meets David Krumholtz(The Mexican, Santa Clause 1 and 2) and he tells him about this rebel kid, played perfectly by Heath Ledger(The Order, The Patriot), so Levitt makes a deal with Ledger and Ledger puts the charm on Stiles and Levitt puts his charm on Stiles' sister. witty and funny with good performances by the young hot cast. other cast members include Andrew Keegan(O, Camp Nowhere), Alyson Jenney(Tv's The West Wing), Gabrielle Union(Bring It On, Deliver Us From Eva) and Daryl "Chill" Mitchell(Tv's ED and Sgt. Bilko). a good time

Summary: the taming of the shrew?
Review: I'm not going to tell you the synopsis of this movie, nor i will ramble endlessly about all my thoughts when i saw it, ll just limit myself to an introduction of what i like to call my very own pensive, gift from albus dumbledore himself
i have to say i loved this movie, yet it is a teen movie, yes it is an adaptation of shakespeare taming of the shrew (and i dont really like shakespeare), but it was funny, witty, romantic, and sarcastic, my life in a nutshell!
If you needed to find the quintissential romantic-comedy teen flic, besides preety in pink, it would be this (not clueless)it's got everything a young girl want, and the songs, would bring a small to your face (im not saing it's good or bad), it just will

Summary: not as good as i expected
Review: I had read the reviews as well as heard my friends' opinions on this movie and had thought that it would be great and witty and funny...and it was a great disappointment. Kat and Bianca are sisters in the same school, Bianca being popular and Kat the polar opposite. Popular boy Joey wants Bianca and she feels likewise. However, their dad won't let Bianca date unless Kat does...which seems impossible to him. In order to have Bianca, Joey pays Patrick to woo Kat and date her. Seeing the money, Pat goes for it, only to fall in love with Kat...even though he's still taking money. Cameron is also in love with Bianca and had planned to tell Joey to pay Pat so that when Bianca can date, she would choose him. However, his plot is foiled until the end, when Bianca realizes what a bastard Joey is. When I had seen the trailer, with Heath Ledger singing, I had thought this was when their true feelings are revealed. Little did I know that he was still taking money from Joey. This just seemed very much like betrayal to me and I didn't like that in a romantic comedy. I would never be able to forgive the guy as quickly as Kat did. Also, I felt that there were so many subplots that the movie was all over the place. It felt as if the director was trying to ram all this information into and hour and something of film. As a result, many of the subplots are underdeveloped. Such as the romance between Cameron's geeky friend and Kat's Shakespearean addict friend. Also, Cameron and Bianca barely had any chemistry and Cameron's reasons for transferring are never referred to...he was just there one day, saw Bianca and wanted her. Joey and Bianca's "relationship" was also very fuzzy. Not to mention the part where Kat reveals to Bianca the very reason why she hates Joey and Bianca storms out of the room in anger. The only redeeming qualities of this movie is the hilarious counselor and Kat and Bianca's father, who's comical talent is seen in this film, which is why it received two stars instead of one.

Summary: Very poor
Review: This film is just poor. The script was terrible, really terrible. It was so obvious that at the prom kat would find out about the money and walk out. But the scene where the aussie guy asks her to go with him as a boyfriend would, she suddenly starts questioning why he pushing the subject. Some of the gags, e.g. where the archery teacher gets shot in the butt, didn't fit in the film at all. It was more like spoof comedy and just made the film even more unbelievable. Luckily i only rented this and didn't waste my money buying it. The main characters are only just likeable, and coupled with a bad script, make this film an embrassment to the whole teen/romantic comedy genre.

Summary: Shakespeare is always cool...
Review: This movie is as lame and predictable as many teen films. Julia Stiles' acting is stale --although as usual there's no denying her screen presence, the dialogue sounds like it was written between takes and the rest of the cast are cardboard cut outs of high school stereotypes. I'm not knocking teen films because I happen to like teen films even though I probably outgrew them long ago but this one is pretty bad. However, this movie has a few saving graces. First of all it's a modern version of Taming of the Shrew. And, it name-drops a few literary giants along the way (due to Kat's unquenchable thirst for literature!). Also, Allison Janney is priceless as a guidance counseler/wannabe romance writer. And, the rantings of Bianca and Kat's father about teen pregnancy are very funny. Finally, the firey Heath Ledger as high school bad boy makes the last half of the film bearable. I'd throw in an extra half star for these things alone.

Summary: Great Teen Movie
Review: In this adaption of The Taming of The Shrew, Katarina (Julia Stiles) is the pessimistic teenager full of angst and her sister Bianca is the popular girl that everyone pines after who has to find her sister a date in order to accomodate her social life. This movie is much better than your average teen movie - not full of stupid cliches and predictable characters. I enjoyed it very much.

Summary: Not your average teen flick
Review: While the story of this movie is typically teen, the excellent cast and the witty script (based on Shakspeare's "Taming of the Shrew") are excellent, which makes this movie above average for its genre.
Rating:
Summary: Cult Classic
Review: This movie is tied (with the Matrix & Amélie) as one of my favorite movies. Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles make this movie amazingly funny and great. Allison Janney's cameo is priceless. My sister and I have quoting contests with this movie. If you don't love it, there's something wrong with you. Really.
