not bad considering what it is...

Rating: 4/10 (2 July 2000)

suffice to say i had pretty low expectations for this when i took it home. but i heard it was based on taming of the shrew and i thought that might be interesting, so.... and i enjoyed it. who would have thought. i mean it is not a great movie by any means, there are a dozen or more scenes to roll your eyes at.. but there were several funny moments and a few touching points. it is not as crappy as most of the teen flicks that are coming out these days.. julia stiles and heath ledger are very good. worth watching just for them (if you like them).. some of the dialogue is not bad - mostly stiles lines.. not much of note other than that.
