Taming of the Shrew Meets Bad Teen Acting and Hoaky Story

Rating: 5/10 (31 August 2003)

There is a growing library of films that re-make, revision, re-do, and otherwise re-show many of Shakespeare's plays. In this case, Taming of the Shrew is
done as a 1990's love story between a not so interested "Shrew" and a boy
equally uninterested in her. It has its moments with some good one-liners but that is about it. Regardless of the fact that it gains its inspiration from a Shakespeare classic, this is no different from the many Teen-love comedies
released as films and television series.
It is still worth the cost of a rental but don't expect anything great. Of the Shakespeare-to-film movies, this is likely the worst or very close to it.
