Summary: 10 Things I Hate About You
Review: 10 Things I Hate About You is a modern re-make of Shakespear's THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. Kat Stratford(Julia Stiles) is that kind of a person who doesn't care what people think of her. Which makes her unpopular and not-wanted! Her popular, pretty and wanted sister Bianca (Larisa Oleynik)is a happy cheerful sophmore who has every guy liking her. Their annoying and over-protective father (played by the histerical Larry Miller) does not allow Bianca to "get jiggy with some boy" unless Kat starts dating. And Bianca's French tutor asks her out and he finds out that she can't date unless her boy-hating sister does. So what Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Lewwit)does is he hires a guy with his friend Micheal (David Krumholtz) to take out Kat. They hire a bad-boy and a criminal of Padua High Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) to ask Kat out. But Patrick starts to get to know Kat and finds her a normal girl! Bianca's boyfriend Joey (Andrew Keegan) is a very big-headed model who thinks Binaca likes him! This knee-slapping, side-aching comedy hit will keep you in laughs for about an hour and a half. Find out what happens when the Padua Prom comes about. Who's going with who? And whats the big surprise awaiting Kat?

Summary: A Fantastic Movie
Review: The movie is based on Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. It is about two sisters Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) and Katarina "Kat" Stratford (Julia Stiles). Bianca is the popular sister who wants to start dating a popular boy, Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan)and Kat is the social outcast. Trying to keep his daughters from dating for fear they may get pregnant, their paranoid father (Larry Miller) makes a family rule where Bianca cannot date until Kat does, which seems impossible. New kid Cameron (Joseph Gordon Levitt) has a huge crush on Bianca and, thinking Bianca likes him in return and wants to date him, he and his friend Michael Eckman (David Khumoltz) devises a scheme where they try to pair Kat off with the school "Bad Boy" Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger). By reading the basic plot above, you probably think this is just another Teen Flick? Well, though technically a teen flick, it lacks the shallowness that other movies of this genre have. With witty dialogue, some very funny physical stunts, some great acting, and a hip soundtrack headlined by Letters To Cleo, this film is a definate must own. As for the DVD, for people with 5.1 Surround Sound, this movie is perfect! However, it is very disappointing in the extras department. The ONLY thing this DVD has is the theatrical trailer for the movie. So unless you really, REALLY want to own the theatrical trailer for the movie, I suggest you save your money and go for the VHS version instead.

Summary: A Must See...
Review: It took me awhile to finally get around to seeing this movie, but once I did...it was all worth it! I even watched it with my mother, and if I can watch it with my mother it has to be good. Hot, rising young stars, consistant, good humor, and Heath Ledger. What more could you really want out of a movie?

Summary: Funny
Review: This movie was the best that I have every seen. Everything about this movie is so true, like how the Dad wouldn't let teenage Daugthers date until they graduated from High school. I know a lot of Parents like that. Then how Patrick was paid to go out with a girl. That happens a lot now a days but I wish that all guys would fall in love just like Patrick did. To all of those how haven't seen this movie, go out and see it.

Summary: Great Youth Film
Review: After seeing Julia Stile's newest film "Save The Last Dance" I decided to rent "10 Things". I saw it in the theatre when it was first released. As an adult with 2 teenage boys I enjoyed it, probably because it reminded me of my own high school days in the late '60s. Some things never change! Probably the deepest thing said in the flick was the line that went like "don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough". Heath Ledger [was this his first film}] was great as the mysterious new kid in town [see him in "The Patriot"!] I like Julia Stiles. She's pretty but not too cute and comes off as smart in both this film and "Save The Last Dance". The music score is good and the band playing on the roof of the school is great at the end. If you like Ferris Bueller type films, you'll like this one.

Summary: It's Shakespeare....can't you tell?
Review: I'll start by saying that this is my favourite film in the world and Julia Stiles is my favourite actress. When this film came out I missed it because at the time I hated any sort of 'teen' films and after I did 'Taming of the Shrew' for A'Level's I thought well ok I'll see it. Expecting another 'She's All That' (which I didn't like at all) I was really suprised! It does start worryingly at first because it doesn't seem to have a direction but once the actual plot gets under way it soon picks up. Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger steal the show as the feminist, cynical man-hater and the bad-boy with a wicked reputation, respectively. It's cleverer, funnier, and sassier than any other 'teen' film I've seen and there's hardly a gross joke (ala American Pie and Road Trip) to be seen. Brilliant film, a real pick me up. You must see it :)

Summary: teenage flick with intellect
Review: i have to recommend this to any one who wants to see teenagers with brains. one wouldn't think by the title that this movie is special, but it is. i will admit that i got this movie because i really like heath ledger; however, even if he were not part of the cast, i would still love it. i enjoyed this film because the dialogue is so mature ( i mean, who uses word like "engorged" or "antiquated" with literal knowledge of their meanings?) and the characters are so realistic. even the unintelligent ones hae their own ingenuity in at least one aspect. and the music is fantastic. i'm not a big rock and roll person, but these songs made me experience the characters' emotions simultaneously with them. oh, and i can't help but mention how great heath ledger was. he may be drop-dead gorgeous, but he can also act. he didn't disappoint me "not even a little bit, not even at all."

Summary: You WON'T Hate "10 Things I Hate About You" You'll LOVE IT!
Review: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my God! This is the best movie that ever walked the planet! I absolutely love this movie. It's sassy, funny, realistic, and loveable. I have seen this movie about 1 million times, and I love it each time I watch it! You may think you're in for another stupid, pointless teenie-bopper flick, but you are WRONG! You really want Kat(Stiles) and Patrick(Ledger)to get together. The characters are sincere and loveable. The 411 is that this movie is based upon "The Taming of the Shrew" by Shakespeare. Bianca can't date until her sister Kat does because their pops is paranoid. Kat is a really boy-hater unfortunately, so Bianca's crush pays Patrick Verona (Ledger)to "tame" the witch. While attempting to seduce Kat for a little cash, Patrick begins to fall for her. Don't miss what happens! Trust me it is the funniest, most loveable movie you'll ever see!

Summary: great
Review: this movie was a total surprise to me, i expected it to be just another teenie-bopper movie with a lame plot. but i was totally surprised when i actually found it cute, funny, and entertaining. i absolutely love the scene with heath ledger singing on the soccer field (i always seem to rewind and watch that part over and over). the humor was also suprisingly good, especially the stratford father, he was hilarious. so, don't just write this movie off because it looks lame and just like all the others. it's the only teenage movie of it's kind that is worth buying.

Summary: Hip, funny, in control.
Review: Without being too over-the-top or annoyingly dramatic, 10 Things I Hate About You is a witty, harmless, inventive teen film that did and continues to do more than She's All That or Drive Me Crazy could've wished. The film is refreshing, even if it doesn't have the newest story of the century. It does the Shakespearean thang with hip sensibility and creative script-writing. Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger who play Kat and Patrick are an awesome team, they comedically portray a teens version of romance with style and interest. I loved the scripting and the film doesn't go grey with age too quickly.
