A very funny, original script for a "high school" movie.

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2000)

Watching "10 Things I hate..." I was not aware it is based on Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew." I'm not a big "Shakey" fan, so that's neither here nor there. And, just last week I watched another "high school" movie - "Never Been Kissed" - and "10 Things..." is in every way a better movie. The acting is good, the situations are funny, and the clever writing is very original. The ending where the "pay for date" scheme becomes apparent and then resolved is pretty predictable. But that's about all. We laughed most during the scene on the archery range.
09DEC2004 update: Since I first saw this movie, I've seen probably another hundred 'teen' themed movies, which supports my original contention that "10 Things" is indeed one of the better ones of the genre.
