Weird experience

Rating: 9/10 (9 September 2003)

I watched this movie when it was on tv, I already owned the soundtrack at the time mainly for the Letters to cleo songs. I didn't expect much from the movie, and as I watched it enjoyed myself but didn't rate it very highly. Then the next week or so I just couldn't get the movie out of my head, kept thinking about and reliving scenes from it. So it must have made a lot more impression then I thought.
The movie itself, I liked Kat (Julia Styles) from the first moment I saw her and didn't like Bianca very much. Somehow the movie seems to simulate otherwise as Kat is supposed to be the bitch that keeps Bianca from dating... thanks to their father (great character). Also Cameron, I didn't feel much compassion for him as he tried to reach Bianca but isn't taken serious by her. But then Kat and Pat, I did like them both as sort of outcasts. Just look at the 'quotes' section for some hilarious scenes between them.
And of course I was pleasently surprised I got to see Kay Hanley performing live with her band Letters to cleo... she's something Kat and I share, being 'our' favorite singer...
