    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.

    American Pie - with Heath Ledger

    A typical American flick, which is really funny, a general good film about American high school kids and their romances.

    Super performance from a young 20 year old Heath Ledger. If you like American Pie, this film is for you, it even has the same opening soundtrack!

    A light hearted film which is easy to watch with good performances from the whole cast.

    I will be buying this shortly! Even my fiance thought this was highly amusing.
