Not Just Another Cheesy Teen Flick . . .

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2000)

There's a moment in 10 Things I Hate About You when our hero, Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) goes that extra distance to secure the affections of our bitchy heroine, Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles). In that moment, we figure it out. He is not just after her for the money.
Based on one of William Shakespeare's funniest plays (if you haven't read it, read it!), The Taming of the Shrew, 10 Things I Hate About You is about that hero who gets payed to date the heroine so that her younger sister, Bianca (Larisa Oleynik), can also date her suitors, Joey (Andrew Keegan) and/or Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Naturally, problems ensue when Kat discovers that Joey, her mortal enemy, is the one who payed Patrick to ask her out.
Remain in your seats after the show for some of the funniest outtakes I've seen.
