10 Things I Hate About You

In 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik) is a tenth grader who has never gone on a date, as her parents have a little rule where Bianca isn't allowed to go out with boys until her older sister gets a boyfriend. The problem is, while her older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) is attractive and intelligent, she's also a mean-spirited misanthrope who rubs nearly everyone the wrong way -- especially boys. But Bianca and the guy she has her eye on, Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan), are eager to get their romance on the road, so Joey fixes Kat up with Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger), a new kid in town who may be just bitter and mysterious enough to suit her. All the while high school newcomer Cameron James (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) desperately tries to win Biana for himeslf. 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU was the first feature film for director Gil Junger, and is a clever reworking of Shakespeare's TAMING OF THE SHREW.

    Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew gets updated Clueless-style to high-school America in this engaging romantic comedy from debut director Gil Junger. Kat (Julia Stiles) is the sulky teen who doesn't like anybody. This causes a problem for her hormonally-charged younger sister Bianca (Larisa Oleynik), who has been told by their dad that she can't date until Kat does. Newcomer Heath Ledger (who looks remarkably like Jim Morrison) plays the unfortunate lad picked to introduce Kat to the dating scene, while the rest of the cast is peppered with equally good-looking youngsters, including Third Rock from the Sun's Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Bianca's sweet but nerdy admirer. Smartly paced, fun and funny, this is just as enjoyable for adults as it is for its intended teenage market.

    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    superb.........

    this is a very good teen update based on Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. it is essentially, a romantic comedy, that more than hits all the right comedy notes as well as the romantic ones. Kat (played by Julia Stiles) hates everybody which causes a slight problem for her gorgeous sister Bianca, when their dad tells her that she can't date until Kat does. in comes loner Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) who's the unlucky guy who introduces Kat to the dating scene while Cameron Jones (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) tries his luck with Bianca. The young cast are impressive with Ledger and Stiles being on top with their excellent conversations that includes bickering and sweet-talk, whilst Gordon-Levitt surprises as Bianca's sweet but geeky admirer.

    well worth renting out.

    No brainer - light hearted - good film

    This film is really a good no brainer, light hearted film that you watch and it gives you a minute of emotions - and then it is forgotten about again!!

    Good for a night where you just want to switch off.
