More sexy Shakespeare!

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 1999)

Ol' Willy Shakespeare is having quite a renaissance! This film is the latest updating or relevance-making version of the immortal bard.
It is a cute, fast-paced, witty retelling of THE TAMING OF THE SHREW (or, in this case, the "heinous bitch"). But not only does it use the plot of that play as a framework, it is also CLUELESS and CAN'T HARDLY WAIT meet CRUEL INTENTIONS. On top of all this, it still manages to be fun and to have a meaningful point -- don't go along with the crowd because the crowd might just be crazy.
We get a wonderfully satiric cross-section of the mysterious realm of teens in high school with a lesson in Shakespeare thrown in for good measure. This is a better than average teen comedy that anyone can enjoy.
