Summary: 10 Things I Hate About You
Review: If someone said to the average 13 year old that a new Shakespeare movie is coming out, and they are going to love it...they would probably respond with a stereotypical "WHATEVER!" However, if you give it a catchy name, hire the cute boy from 3Rd Rock From the Sun, and make a trailer with ultra hip banter, then you suddenly have a box office hit with the teens. 10 Things I Hate About You is one of the best from this recent trend. A modern adaptation of the Shakespeare play "The Taming of the Shrew", stars Julia Stiles as Katarina, the shrew that is mentioned in the title. A virtual newcomer to the screen, this lady has something that most "teen stars" (minus of course Leelee Sobeski) lacks...the ability to act. Her turn as Kat is actually very refreshing, and as someone who loves 'Shrew" this is one of the best people I have seen to play this role. (Shakespeare purists, please hold off your hate mails.) The story revolves around Kat and her sister Bianca (Larisa Oleynik). Bianca is beautiful, the popular girl at school, who would have everything she wants if it weren't for one little dilemma. There is a family rule that prohibits her from dating until unpopular, and borderline scary Kat, gets a man of her own. So, an admirer of Bianca's hires someone to win Kat's heart, so that he can take out Bianca. I am sure you are thinking that isn't anything original here...and you are right there isn't. However, it's tempo, and nonchalant references and odes to Shakespeare is what keeps it going and makes it fresh. I recommend this film to anyone who is looking for a little harmless fun.

Summary: Perfect
Review: This movie rocks! Perfect combo of comedy & romance. I loved the scene where he sings for her. I was disapointed that that song and I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOU BABY by COLOUR FIELD wasn't on the sound track though. Great cast, great script. What more can I say? Except that guy who gave 10 reasons why it sucks is not only totally wrong but he really needs to lighten up.

Summary: Not that great.
Review: This wasn't a completely bad movie, but it's not a film I'd want to see again. It had a funny moment or two, but it was really just run-of-mill and not that interesting. The acting was fine; it's just that it seems like there's so many films out there just like this. Not a complete disappointment, but once was enough. I'd give 10 Things I Hate About You 2.5 stars.

Summary: Heath Ledger is hot!
Review: I'm 22 and I'll admit that I've seen this movie at least 5 times already. 3 of those at the theater. :0) It's not just a little teen movie. Parts are a little cheesier than others, but the chemistry between Heath Ledger (Patrick) and Julia Stiles (Kat) is worth it all. Awesome movie!

Summary: not Shakespeare, but engaging nonetheless
Review: Not everyone who liked this film was a thirteen-year-old. I'm a grad student in English, and I really enjoyed it. The (two main) characters were much better developed than I had expected, having seen She's All That only a few weeks before (ick, blech, talk about a homemade movie). Of course, my appreciation of 10 Things may spring from the fact that I'm a feminist, and this interpretation of The Taming of the Shrew has a nice, satisfying twist at the end. It's good to see girls being both sensitive and tough.

Summary: A great, entertaining movie.
Review: 10 Things I Hate About You is a hilariously funny movie. It is a wonderful remake of Taming of the Shrew. It's about two sisters that are the exact opposite of each other. One is very into her looks and wants everyone to love her. The other sister could care less about people liking her or about the way she looks. This movie is about the sisters relationships with others and how similar they actually are. So if you want a good laugh and a little drama, 10 Things I Hate About You is for you.

Summary: Who didn't like this you ask? Uh, me.
Review: I'm going to disagree with all the 13 year old swooners that reviewed this film. This was without a doubt one of the worst movies I've ever laid eyes on, it's lone redeeming qualities were Larry Miller (Kat and Bianca's father, who is pretty much hilarious in everything he does) and Joseph Gordon Levitt. Every character in this film was one dimensional and there was no developement at all. Kat was the WOMAN POWER! male hater (She would have made a good pro choicer in Stephen King's "Insomnia", but that's another story). Bianca was the bubble headed ditz, Joey was the chisled Italian jock whose range of emotions went from arrogant...to arrogant...to arrogant...to arrogant...to, well you get the idea. I suppose the rough australian punk (whose name I've completely forgotten) was a decent character in his own right as well. But Gordon Levitt's audio visual friend is the stereotypical geek who ends up getting a girl by the grace of God on high at the film's climax. To even put "The Taming of the Shrew" in the same sentence with this movie would be a grave injustice. The only reason I gave it two stars is Miller, Levitt, and the out takes at the end. Those were pretty hilarious.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful
Review: The main character, Kat, depicts a outspoken and punkish teenager who is disliked by many of her classmates. Her sister Bianka deals with the pressure of popularity, and learns her boundaries of how far she'll go to be popular. When the two oposite sisters' father makes a new rule (Bianka can date when kat does), it becomes Bianka's mission, along with dorky 'friend' Cameron and popular guy Joey, to find a date for Kat. When they stumble upon Patrick, a felon accompanied by rumors of eating a duck (all except the feet and the bill) and being a porn star, they pay him to go out with Kat. This movie is truely hilarious and definately worth your time. I love Kat's expressive personality and all the actors play their parts magnificently. You'll love this movie.
