Rating: Summary: Falls apart after a promising first half-hour. Review: The writers do a terrific job of setting up the premise of a high school so ruled by cliques that it even has a sizable cowboy crowd, and the actors--Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Larry Miller, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and especially Allison Janney as a wisecracking guidance counselor--are as charming as they could possibly be. Unfortunately, the writers--having taken "The Taming of the Shrew" as the template for their story--run out of direct parallels to Shakespeare early on, and they can't replace them with anything except the usual, tiresome teen-movie cliches and leaden, disposable dialogue. Worst of all, Janney--whose presence really enlivens the early scenes--disappears before the movie is half-over. This movie was a big disappointment to me, but I wish nothing but great things for these wonderful actors.
Rating: Summary: This movie Rocks! Review: 10 Things I Hate About You is the absolute favorite movie in the WORLD! Ther is just something about That is just so so great. I have watched it so many time's and ANYONE under the age of 18 will love it! I only know on person who doesn't like this movie and I think they're CRAZY! I watch it AT LEAST once a week.See, what happen's is this new guy Cameron(Joseph Gordon-Levitt) come's to Padua High (Which is actually a real school in Washington State) and instantlly falls for Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik) who is the sister of Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles) a girl who was once very popular and then all of the sudden lost her popularity and only has one friend (Susan May Pratt).Their Father (Larry Miller) is way parannoyed and doesn't let Bianca date , So friend of Cameron (David Krumholtz) hire's popular boy Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan) as a backer.Joey hire's Patrick Verona (Heath Ledgar) to do the job........ Watch it to see where everything goes right and wrong at the same thime!
Rating: Summary: An intresting modern take on an old tale Review: Well yes I admit, there was no masquerading as teachers, there was no food deprovation, but the main plot points of Shakespere's classic the taming of the shew where still there (at least in the beginning) and I find that 10 things I hate about you is a very good movie. The sotryline is very funny and the music is amazing. Letters to Cleo put on a great show! If you like romantic comedies go see this movie!
Rating: Summary: Great movie! Review: I think that of the teen movies that have been out recently that this one is definitly worth watching. Sure some of the characters are stereotyped, but that's to give it a more universal feel. The plot of this movie has been done before but this time around it is given a new twist. Sure dad's everywhere don't want to see their daughters grow up but how many of dads make them where "the belly" before going to a party? One of them most outstanding things about this movie is that they cast real teenagers in the roles instead of twenty something actors who haven't been in high school for 5 years. The cast does such a good job that I like this movie more every time I watch it. So if your looking for something to make you laugh out loud then buy this film!
Rating: Summary: 10 Things I Like About This Movie Review: 1. The actors actually look like they belong in high school. 2. The script doesn't make teenagers sound like "Clueless" clones and actually maintains some of Shakespeare's wit. 3. The cast has strong chemistry which lends a pleasing, and surprising, naturalness to their performances. 4. The movie doesn't feel like a commercial for Maybelline or Calvin Klein. 5. The main characters aren't sugar-coated; there's something charming yet detestable about all of them. 6. Julia Stiles can dance. 7. Heath Ledger can sing. 8. The movie tries less to simplify high school as a battle between good and evil and more as a struggle to gain independence and a sense of self. 9. There's nothing overly preachy here (i.e., don't be mean to dorks, beauty is on the inside, etc.). 10. Freddie Prinze, Jr. isn't in it.
Rating: Summary: A halarious movie Review: I saw this movie at the theater and thought it was so funny. I went back to see it again in the theater a few days later. Heath Ledger is great in it, not to mention his unforgettable smile! The combo between Julia Stiles and Heath is great on screen. I recommend buying this movie because it's a great modern-day Shakespeare comedy that the whole family will love. I know I do!
Rating: Summary: Surprisingly funny but severely lacking in "adaptation" Review: I watched this movie on a late night after my little brother had rented it. I had nothing better to do and thought I would content myself with vacuous young stars and their pointless starring vehicle. I was pleasantly surprised. Apart from more than a few scenes which inspired more groans than anything else, some token ridiculous and bit characters, and some harsh cliches the movie is not altogether terrible. The idea of it being based on "The Taming of the Shrew," though, is a complete fallacy. It is as much an adaptation of that piece of Shakespeare as "U-571" was an adaptation of "Das Boot" (and at least both of those had submarines!). But amid the rapping of Shakespeare and ridiculous attempts at physical comedy (not to mention the blatant blending of two distinctly separate cities; Stadium High School is NOT in the middle of Queen Anne, Seattle)there is the occasional surprising scene. For instance, the initial jabs at teenage social structures are moderately intelligent as are some of the views espoused by the angry teacher. But some of the funniest gems from the piece lie in the almost perfect satire of American high school students and their social structures. For the most part, however, the movie does not deviate from the standard teen fare. For virtually every good bit of the movie there is a corresponding bad piece. The acting falls somewhere between "She's All That" and "American Pie" as does the story line. The characters cannot seem to actually stay characters but this is a failing on the part of the screenwriters. My recommendation is this: watch this if you've got a few spare and otherwise boring hours and a free rental somewhere.
Rating: Summary: For the love of God make it stop Review: Okay. I'm sure you can tell that I think this was a sorry waste of video. I'll start by mentioning the few good points. I laughed a few times. But what really destroys this movie is the really irritating characters. Other than Hindus, every stereotype in this movie is played for joke. Popular people are always really stupid and shallow. Riotgrrls always hate men. Since I would consider myself a riotgrrl, this deeply offended me. And I wonder where these ignorant teens get these stupid ideas from. I fell asleep soon. But from what I know, I'll say this isn't worth yr time. Okay. Here's the plot. Bianca, the popular shallow trendyhead wants to go out with the white jock, whose name I cease to care about. But Bianca's manhating feminist older sister, Kat, hates men. And Bianca cant date till Kat does. Like, oh no! So the jock pays this Australian guy to go out with Kat, since she's so unlovable. After that I fell asleep. The reason I rented this was cos I heard they mentioned Bikini Kill and the Raincoats in it. They do, so you other grrlies can not waste yr money to see if its true. But the Australian guy cant even pronounce the names right! And although Julia Stiles is fairly cool, Kat is so cliche she makes me want to shoot the TV. Oh God. Dunt rent this! I heard Sister Hazel was on the soundtrack. Why do they even TRY?
Rating: Summary: Great Movie! 10 Stars! Review: It took me a while to see this movie. It basically didn'tattract me, because I thought it was a little bit too chick flicky. Irented the DVD, and I was surprised! It's the best teen comedy that's not so perverted of 1999! I loved it! '10 Things' depicted how life can be for the rebel, the bad girl, the popular girl, the jock, the nerd, and the new guy. And each actor/actress portrayed each of these so top-notch. Not only is the movie great, but the music in the video rocks! The soundtrack is the best, especially one of the best around. I suggest checking this movie out if you haven't already!
