Summary: I Love This Movie Too!
Review: I'm in my 30's so quite a bit older than most of the target audience for this movie and I wasn't sure if I would like it but when I was visiting my sister and watched my nephew's DVD I absolutely loved it and decided this movie is great for all ages and I loved that it is based on William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, it's a hip modern updated take on it and I think it was a pretty awesome movie with witty dialogue, great acting and an awesome soundtrack and I liked the movie so much I went out and bought my own DVD! Highly recommended!

Summary: 3 things I love about 10 things i hate about you
Review: 1. Despite a few inappropriate parts (i wouldn't recommend seeing this if you are under 10 for sure, probably under 13 but oh well), my mom actually let me see this PG-13 movie and enjoyed it herself.
2. Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger are hilarious. They are the ultimate odd couple. Watching all the stuff poor Patrick (Ledger) has to go through to save his relationship sometimes even strikes emotions.
3. All my friends love it! I love it! Perfect for slumber parties. the best chick flick that guys will enjoy as well. Witty, sad, happy, every emotion you can feel is excersized in this movie. Oh, and I LOVE HEATH LEDGER!
THE BEST MOVIE! GO OUT AND RENT IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Summary: Are You Saying I'm Not A Pretty Guy?
Review: After seeing this movie about a million times on cable, I decided to finally write a review for it. I'm always a fan of teen comedies, but lately they have been going off the deep end in terms of sick humor. This is where 10 Things I Hate About You differs because it's not a gross-out movie. It's also not a movie that you can take seriously, yet it has some serious moments that will remind you of the great teen movies of the 80's. This movie doesn't really try to be realistic most of the time....... I mean Patrick follows Kat around everywhere, shows up at her house and waits by her car, and it is outlandish to think that this kind of stalking would attract her to him. Then there's the school faculty which behave in a manner that would get them instantly fired in real life, yet here it is all a joke. The party scenes are also way overdone, but these are things you will get used to early on. The story is acted out quite well, and the comedy is very light-hearted as it should be. I have seen the DVD for this movie and though it looked fairly good, it was not worth the purchase for me. The picture needs an anamorphic transfer, and there are no extra features. I would wait on this one until they release a better edition which I'm sure they will. With as many times as this movie runs on cable each month, there are bound to be lots of fans willing to demand a special edition.

Summary: Great Taming of the Shrew Update!
Review: This is a great update of the classic Shakespeare play, the Taming of the Shrew. Great, funny movie. Stiles and Ledger are the perfect lead actors! I recommend it to anyone!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Typical teen types
Review: I was curious to see how a Shakespearean work (The Taming of the Shrew) would work in the teen romance genre.

While it isn't a movie that I can recommend to other adults, it was amusing and well written for the younger crowd.

Each of the actors creates a character of some depth and manage to knit together an ensemble that makes sense in the world of true teen love.

I have to say that although I got it for my kids, I enjoyed it as well.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute Teen Movie
Review: I like this movie a lot. I saw it in the theaters and have the DVD. It's a teen love story based on Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew (loosely based!). The story is about the shrew (Kat/Julia Stiles) and her sister Bianca. The new boy in town wants to date Bianca, but Bianca can't date unless Kat does. So he hatches a plan to get Kat hooked with someone so that he can date Bianca.

I think the story is cute, and I completely fell for Heath Ledger's character, Patrick (the guy who gets paid to date Kat). He and Julia Stiles are great in this movie - the other characters, however, leave a lot to be desired. I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would WANT to date Bianca. Sure, she's pretty - but she's got no personality until the very end. It's not bad though, since most of the story revolves around Kat and Patrick who are well developed characters with a lot of chemistry.

Not the greatest movie on the planet, but definitely fun as a light-hearted and humorous date movie. :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A new spin on an old Shakespeare. Wonderful.
Review: I reviewed this movie for Rambles and fell in love with it. It is a movie for all ages to enjoy. There are characters for everyone to identify with. (My heart went out to the father, but he kept me laughing out loud through the entire movie with his wit and sarcasm.)It has great depth or can be enjoyed simply at surface value. I can't believe this came from a Shakespeare classic. The modern adaptation fascinates me. Get it today and contemplate this form of literary wizardry. You won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A yummy slice of ultra-pallatable teen life
Review: Generally speaking I abhor most of the films sheltering under the umbrella-genre of "teen comedy". The idea of a film made specifically to gratify the insecure and the horny makes me kind of queasy. In an entertained sort of way.

But...10 Things I Hate About You, despite its cringe-worthy title, is a cut and a jump above the rest. Lay to rest the ghosts of "She's All That" and other related Freddie Prince Jnr cast-offs and worship at the altar of a truly funny slice of teen life.

You know the drill. 10 Things is based loosely around the lesser-known Shakespeare play "The Taming of the Shrew". And, against all expectations the adaptation is intelligently done. The interaction of Shakespearian dialogue and ultra-trendy American teen speak is blended without hesitation. "I burn, I perish, I pine..." proclaims the love-struck Cameron in the words of the bard himself. "Put her in your spank-bank and move on" replies his Tranio-a-like sidekick Michael. The more you know about the Shakespeare play, the more you'll appreciate the subtleties of 10 Thing's referencing. Of course the plot isn't exact, but its themes are maintained in healthy condition throughout.

So, this is a production that didn't take its script-writing according to formular. Some of the one-liners are literally classic, and the supporting cast, particularly Miss Perky, school councillar and erotic novelist extroadinaire, are different and lively.

That doesn't mean, however, that the star acting suffers. The cast has strong leaders in Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles, both of whom transcend and epitomise the teen hero/heroine simultaneously. Refreshingly, Stile's character doesn't succumb to being objectified by her inevitable good lucks. Ledger doesn't just convince her that wearing a dress is going to make her a more convincing "girl". Of course guy does get girl, but in the same way girl thoroughly establishes herself as equal to said guy. And looses none of her expressive capacity.

The scaffolding sub-plot also turns out some cracking performances from the likes of Joseph Gordon-Hewitt as Cameron (you'll recognise him as the kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun), and the pretty Larisa Oleynik as Bianca.

Mix all of the above ... with the likes of Letters from Cleo enjoying several cameo moments and you've got a movie that could very well join "Empire Records" as teen classic material.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent family film
Review: While it is Shakespeare (one big reason why I love it so much), it is also a great family movie. Its modern, funny, has a great soundtrack and wonderful actors.
In the newest version of The Taming of the Shrew by the great Bard, we see Kat as a high school student. She is rebelling against her circumstances - a mother who abandoned the family, an over-protective father, a guy who used and dumped her. Patrick, another original character, is paid to date Kat so Kat's little sister (Bianca) can also start to date. And, of course, in a wild twist of events Kat finds what Patrick is doing. Only now he has begun to really like her. But she hates him now. Meanwhile, Bianca is also having her own romantic troubles.
Definitely worth the watch, this is good for adults and kids! And who knows, it might just make a Shakespeare fan of you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing
Review: Well, I'd heard a lot about this movie before I actually saw it, and all were good comments. When I actually did see it, I loved it! I loved the storylines, the pickup lines, the one liners, the witty humour and the sarcastic comments! My favourite character was Kat Stratford- a true individualist who doesn't care what people think of her; a hard shell surrounding a truly good person. I loved Kat and Pat, and Bianca and Cameron, and I also loved how Bianca got less shallow when she and Cameron got together. My favourite scenes (no particular order): 1. The paintball scene w/ the kiss (so adorable) 2. when Bianca kisses Cameron in the car 3. when Mr. Stratford slams the door on Joey 4. When Kat's fave band plays at the prom and Pat kisses her 5. Pat singing to Kat! 6. the final scene next to the car w/ Kat and Pat 7. Where'd you get the tux/dress? Oh, just something I had lying around. 8. Where's you come from, Planet Loser? As opposed to Planet "look at me, look at me". 9. the swingset scene at Bogey's party 10. Kat flashing the teacher to get Pat out of detention! Go see the movie now- it's truly amazing!
