Summary: Cute, cute movie
Review: I sat up with popcorn and my daugthers and joined them in their school girl crush on the main charcter of this movie. Terribly romantic--in a teenybopper kinda way. I enjoyed all the highschool memories. No matter what high school you went to, there was always a crowd like this one--well, back in my day anyway. The movie was light hearted and funny with plenty of parental humor that can keep an adult entertained--"I'm down with that"..."No matter how dope his ride is". Yeah, I found alot to chuckle at.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great approach to retelling Shakespeare
Review: I'll admit right now, I tend to be a Shakespeare fan. So I'm a bit biased going in. And, in this day and age, people are almost forced to come up with new ways to tell his stories, since there have been more than ample opportunities to see them 'traditionally.' it's pretty much a filmmakers minefield when coming up with a new way to tell a story so many have probably heard before.

'10 Things I Hate About You' is a pleasant retooling of Taming of the Shrew. What could have easily fallen flat or veered drastically off course is nicely done, with terrific casting, sharp writing, and a setting that actually seems to fit well with the original premise of the work.

Julia Stiles is perfectly cast as the difficult Kate. Heath Ledger as well makes a great counterpart to her. They have terrific chemistry and are a joy to watch together.

The minor characters as well are a hoot, and overall, it's a fun little film that you will enjoy vieweing many times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: comically pleasing for anyone
Review: I have always been a fan of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, and this new rendition puts a fabulous modern spin on the story. The humor is witty and intelligent; the characters are strongly developed into unique individuals. Well worth it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Modern day Shakespeare
Review: I originally thought it would be another lame, teen comedy with a thin plot but I was quite impressed with the humor and lovable characters found in this movie. Newcomers Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger add a sparkle to the mix. If you need a good laugh or something to watch with a date, this is the movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not just a Teen Movie
Review: There I was stuck on MEDEVAC standby for a week with 3 sub-25 year olds and only one Television. I envisioned early mornings so that I could watch the news and then they would take over the TV around noon for Games and Teeny-Bopper and T&A movies.

The youngest of them rented "10 Things I Hate About You" and popped it in while I was in the kitchen cooking. Since the kitchen overlooks the TV I started watching and became engrossed. The dry humor, the literacy, the plot. It has been said that there are only 50 really good original stories out there and that all others are just variations on each of them. Well, this is the best variation of Taming of the Shrew that I've ever seen. None of the Bard's work has been so well modernized or updated with the possible exception of West Side Story but that is far from modern now.

When I returned from the week I rented it and shared it with my approaching 40 wife. She, sappy movie lover that she is, loved it also.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie!
Review: I love this movie! It's funny, cute and romantic. Ok.. so maybe I liked it so much because Heath Ledger looks so good in it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as funny as other comedies but a great movie
Review: 10 Things I Hate About You is more of a say She's All That type of love story with a bit a comedy here and there. I wounldn't consider this a full scale comedy but it still a very good movie.

Julia Styles and Larissa Oleynick star as sisters under the chain of their paranoid dad. In a hasty decision, he decides that his girls can date... BUT only they are both dating and the younger Oleynick is under the supervision of her mean, boy hating older sister Sytles is there. So in figuring out her dad's loop hole, her love interest (Joseph Levitt) gets his friend (Heath Ledger) to date Sytles so Levitt can date Oleynick.

What I really like about this movie was that it was pretty much plain and simple in how the movie was going to be early. I hate it when comedies change up in the middle and throw you off. That and the parts that are funny, are really funny (like the prom). That and it has a really great date movie feel to it because it's funny enough to be an easy ice breaker but serious enough so that it makes an impact.

O would recommend this movie to younger viewers because it would be easier for say teens to relate to it. Older viewers will like it but it won't have the "ooh ahh" feeling that teens and younger viewers will get from it. Great movie and perfect for sitting back with a date for a laugh.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Teen Movie
Review: This movie is great, although a little unbelievable. The overused "I was just a bet?!" was, well, used again in this movie, but it didn't drag the plot down. Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger offer amazing performances in this hilarious teen movie. Buy it today!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: romantic comedy
Review: i really liked this movie i thought it was funny, enjoyable and romantic. The feelings of the characters change alot and they have different lives at the end. There was not a moment where this movie was boring, it was all entertaining! I would recommend this to anyone with a sence of humor, sum1 who is intersted in romance or just wants entertainment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: obstacles to true love knows no time era
Review: One thing about the Bard -- he knew the plots that touches everyone's lives, no matter where on the social strata or when in history they may be. It is made apparent in the case of Cameron James, new kid in school, as he falls for the lovely Bianca, who cannot date until her older shrewish sister Kat will date. But Kat doesn't WANT to date, and thus Cameron must scheme to find a suitable guy for this harpy-with-the-heart-of-gold if he is to win the fair Bianca.

Julia Stiles may be no Elizabeth Taylor, but then, she doesn't have to be. This flick relays the same message to a brand-new audience and is fun and entertaining to boot (plus I don't think Taylor could dance on a table quite like Stiles does in one of the more memorable scenes.)

In the end, this is a charming movie that will entertain and educate high-schoolers as well as those several years past graduating. After all, Shakespeare knew what he was writing about -- there is no age limit when it comes to matters of the heart!
