Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2005)

I love the way the scriptwriter has used clever little things like Stratford (where Shakespeare was born), Verona and Padua (like in the original play)and Kat(like Kate). This movie has obviously had a lot of thought put into it and deserves good ratings! I think that Julia Stiles really takes the part well and really shows off the 'stroppy teen' part excellently. I think Heath Ledger makes clear that Patrick is a mean boy...but softens up when he starts to love Kat. All the actors have worked so hard at the film and really showed the expression. I do not much like teen movies with a couple of exceptions...but this is one that you can watch over and over again without getting bored! There are not many films like that and this has got to be one in a million! Each time you watch it...you find something else that you didn't see before. My favourite part is when you find out about Kat's past with Joey...how once she used to be a normal teen. It was only after that that she started to be an individual and stand up for what she believes in. A real clever piece of work. Well Done!
