much better than the usual teen romance

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 1999)

I recently saw 10 Things I Hate About You and was pleasantly surprised. After the flood of boring, formula teen-targeted movies, I was expecting another two hours of wooden actors and a script my six year old brother could have improved on. However, I found the movie to be engaging and quite funny. The characters were very well acted; the plot, while predictable, still had a few unexpected points. The chemistry between Julia Stiles (Kat) and Heath Ledger (Patrick) was great, and they really kept the film going. I'll definitely be buying this on video.
