Rating: Summary: I love it Review: I saw this movie expecting some stupid, everything is perfect, only in the movies romance, but saw a good show with, for the most part, a bown to earth movie. I like Julia Stiles' role of the older sis. She is a great actress with much potencial.
Rating: Summary: I never get tired of this movie! Review: When this movie first came out, I thought, "Oh, great. Another fluff, teeny-bopper movie. I'll pass." Then I heard that it was loosely based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, and I was intrigued. I finally saw it, and I'm glad I gave it a chance. What a fun movie!The writers, Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, have done a wonderful job of taking the basic premise of The Taming of the Shrew and making it accessible to today's young people. Having only seen another Shrew adaptation (the movie musical Kiss Me Kate) and never having read or seen the original play, I can't say whether or not 10 Things I Hate About You is true to the original. I can, however, say that I'm now dying to read the play to find out! The dialogue of the movie is peppered liberally with witty one-liners that have kept me laughing even into the fifth time I've seen the movie and make me laugh even now, just thinking about them. The characters in the movie, from the leads to the supporting cast, are immensely likable -- some, like Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan) and Chastity (Gabrielle Union), in a love-to-hate-you kind of way. I found myself rooting for Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) to soften the heart of the "shrew," Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles), and for the new kid in town, Cameron James (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), to win the sought-after Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik). I cracked up at the hilarious antics of show-stealers Ms. Perky (Allison Janney) and Mr. Morgan (Daryl "Chill" Mitchell). Larry Miller also shone as the overprotective father, Walter Stratford, struggling to raise his daughters right all by himself. I've seen this movie at least five times by now, and I have yet to get tired of it. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh without too much effort.
Rating: Summary: WOW! Review: This movie truly makes you feel that there is that one person out there for you. The amazing story really makes you smile...and you seem to yearn for a relationship like the one shared between julia stiles and heath ledger. The deciet always ends with the girl gettin her wonderful guy, and in the end all seems good. One can only wish that life was like it is in the movies. I think anyway who loves a hopeless romance movie should buy this one. I assure you, you will love it just as i did.
Rating: Summary: Best Movie Ever! Review: This is a fabulous movie, same concept as She's All That, but way better. I've seen it many times. Made me cry, laugh and learn a really important life lesson! If you want to see a good movie and you're between the ages of 10-25, I recommend this movie for you. Adults may get bored, but teens and ages around there will love it! I've seen it atleast 3 times! Can't wait for the fourth!
Rating: Summary: really good Review: this film like clueless is an updating of a old books for the teenage audience. this is one of the best ones i've seen. in it a pair of sisters can only date if the onther one does. the younger one is extremly popular, but the other one is unpopular. the is an updating of the play the taming of the shrew and it is really funny. highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: It kept me laughing! Review: This remake of Shakespeare's play keeps alive the the flavor of the orignal play. I've always enjoyed Shakespeare's comedies, and this remake doesn't disappoint. The puns and banter of the characters are fresh and entertaining. At times, some of the actors show their inexperience (this is particularly true of Heath Ledger). Julia Stiles does a superb job of playing the shrew. In fact, she steals the show. My other favorite character is Ms. Perky, the sex-obsessed guidance counselor. After you've had one of those days when nothing seems to go right, pop this movie in the DVD player and get ready to laugh!
Rating: Summary: Not Just For Teens Review: Not knowing that this movie was based on 'Taming of the Shrew' I put off watching it for over a year because of the title. Well, what a big mistake I made! Personally, I'm not a fan of Shakespeare and I don't think that is a requirement, anyway, to thoroughly enjoy this movie. As far as teen movies go, this one treats the audience as intelligent individuals whether teens or adults are watching it. I'm in my 30's and I found this movie and the characters and actors especially refreshing. Also, the LACK of vulgar language and nude scenes is definitely a plus! Finally someone realizes that four letter words and sex are not needed for an audience to enjoy a movie. Both Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger stand out in this movie. Their onscreen chemistry is not to be denied. Lastly, Mr. Ledger is a talented young man and someone to watch in the future! I see his star rising and it certainly got brighter with this movie.
Rating: Summary: Entertainment Review: This movie is a fun and entertaining movie for teens and pre-teens. Its funny lines and great cast make for an all around terrific movie. It will have you reciting the lines long after you see the movie. The soundtrack is wonderful as well!

Rating: Summary: Above Average Teen Comedy! Review: This is a surprisingly smart and funny teenage comedy. The two leads can really act, a rare thing in recent teen comedies. Also smartly written with witty and entertaining dialogue. The story is surprisingly derivative of Shakespeare, but is set to high-school life and they manage to pull it off. While not a great film, it's funny, smart, entertaining and features good performances. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 6!
