Still Awesome After 15 Years!

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2014)

"10 Things I Hate About You" is just as great as it was when I first saw it in 1999. One of the better re-tellings of "The Taming of the Shrew", writers Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith did a nice job bringing Shakespeare's work into the almost-21st-century. The characters are well defined and excellently played, particularly Kat Stratford by Julia Stiles and Patrick Verona by Heath Ledger. The supporting characters are all nicely played and fun to watch, filling out the cast nicely and keeping the movie clipping along at a nice pace. The soundtrack is spot-on, in that wonderful way that seems to only happen in teen movies.
Still great after 15 years!
