Rating: Summary: One of the most enjoyable teen flicks of 1999. Review: I wasn't really too keen on seeing 10 Things I Hate About You, because I had previously seen She's All That at the theater - which looked exactly like this - and it wasn't exactly impressive. But, wow, 10 Things I Hate About You was a pleasant surprise!This movie will be the cast's high point. Julia Stiles messed up with Down to You and Heath Ledger put a wrong foot with The Patriot. But, at least we can look back in a couple of years time and remember there delicious on-screen presence. The script is imaginative and laugh-out-loud funny, and there is alot of touching, romantic parts of this film which actually give it a subtle side, providing the audience with alot of chuckles as well as tissues. In short, this wee gem has more than 10 things to love about it, and less than 5 to hate. Although flawed, 10 Things I Hate About You remains extremely recommendable teen fun which all interested film-goers should rent on a Friday night. 10 Things I Hate About You: B
Rating: Summary: More than 10 things to love about this movie Review: Well first let me say this: As a movie-loving Teen I actually don't like teen movies a lot because often they don't seem real and 30 year old actors playing teens is just ridiculous. 10 things however surprised me very much cuz it really felt believable to me and it was one of the first romantic movies I actually thought was romantic. 10 things renewed my faith.. THE STORY... is losely based on William Shakespear's Taiming of the shrew. Julia Stiles is Kat, the girl who doesn't want to date... but her sister Bianca wants to. So here's the problem: Their father came up with this rule: "Bianca doesn't date... until Kat does" The shy new guy Cameron falls for Bianca the day he arrives. Now he has to find a date for Kat to get to her. Heath Ledger's character gets paid to ask Kat out but the inevidable happens... he falls in love with the shrew... THE CAST.. is young and fresh. I've seen Julia Stiles for the first time since The Devil's own and was totally amazed by her. Heath Ledger is the perfect man for her and those two together seem so real. There's real chemistry there. His "I love you, baby" performance is one of the highlights of the entire movie (along with Julia Stiles' dancing performance) THE DIRECTION... is pretty conventional but that doesn't matter because this is not a visual movie. It's about the characters and their relations so I guess it is best that it is kept very simple. There are some pretty cute songs in the movie which want to make you to buy the soundtrack. There's almost no score but the source music is pretty amazing... THE DVD: Shame on Touchstone! The DVD comes with less than none Special features and sound and picture quality are mediocre.. This movie would have deserved a little more treatment for DVD adaption. SO... I'm a guy and I really loved the movie although it is a "chick flick". But, hey we can get emotional, too...
Rating: Summary: The Best Teen Comedy Since "Ferris Buehler's Day Off." Review: "10 Things I hate about You" is the best teen comedy since "Ferris Buehler's Day Off". This is why I love it: 1. It is a perfect attempt on a hip version of "The Taming of The Shrew." 2. The teen actors put on an encore preformance. 3. It's very funny. 4. Larisa Oleynick is finally maturing from Nickelodeon's show, "Alex Mack." 5. Not only is she maturing, she's is sooo fine! 6. Joseph Gordan-Levitt is also maturing from "Third Rock From the Sun". 7. Juilia Stiles is an extremely sexy dancer. 8. She is also sooo fine! 9. Even though I'm a boy, I think that the soundtrack has some good music on it. 10. Julia Stiles flashes a teacher. So all you teen comedy fans, get this movie, you will not be dissapointed. My dad, who is 50, loves this movie. Buy it, don't rent it first, just buy it, you'll love it.
Rating: Summary: My favorite movie in the world! Review: This is my favorite movie- the only other one being Titanic! :) At first I only wanted to see this movie because Larisa Oleynik was in it- and she has been my favorite actress for years. But then after I rented it, I thought it was soooo awesome! I ran out and bought it and have probably seen it a hundred times since then. I never get tired of it! It always makes me laugh- especially Julia Stiles! Her wit in this movie is hilarious! Plus i luv the whole storyline, and even though it was predictable it worked great. This is the best movie in the world- you better buy it!
Rating: Summary: GREAT Review: I think this movie has a great plot. It is a great teen movie and Julia Stiles is awesome. Julia is my favorite actress.....and it started from this movie. I think Julia has "spunk" in this movie although she gets too much at times. The come backs in this movie are great. I recommend this movie to teen girls mostly.
Rating: Summary: It's like so totally great Review: This movie is surprisingly good! I figured it was just going to be another boring love story focused on the teen audience. But actually this modernized adaptation of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" is very entertaining. When I watched this movie my mind was set that it wasn't any good, but I was wrong, this movie is an excellent retelling of a good, yet old, Shakespearian play.
Rating: Summary: YOU'VE GOT TO CHECK THIS ONE OUT! Review: If you're the person that goes for teens flicks like down to you, clueless and she's all that this is another movie that closly relates to your crazy teen life! Julia and Heath were great together in this movie. You should check it out!
Rating: Summary: A fine DVD purchase. Review: The DVD does not have any bonus features other than standard scene selection, a trailer, and language choice. I still am happy with my purchase. When I first saw the movie on VHS I gave it an average rating. Seeing it again on DVD brought it to a whole new light. The video quality is good, and the sound is above normal. There are so many hidden things in this movie that only a DVD player can decipher. The widescreen format allows the entire scenes to be viewed, and the smooth pause screens and scans allow for a fun experience. This is a fun movie too. A couple bonus features would have won it 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: Winning! Review: Okay, this is not Kenneth Brannagh's Henry V. But I was most pleasantly surprised to find that this made sense out of a tricky Shakespeare play and that it did not wallow in the gross-out depths that teen flicks so often wallow in. In fact, it floated, with buoyant dialogue, gleeful mischief, stunning location shooting in the Puget Sound area, nicely paced direction and editing, and solid performances by a young cast. While portraying affluent suburban white teens, it also drops a wry comment on the popular Dawson Creek/media representation of the generation. This not only entertains, it could get teens and adults talking about filmmaking, Shakespeare, love, music and other things that matter in a positive way.
