Surprisingly good

Rating: 7/10 (7 February 2005)

Despite the fact that the movie is set in a classic high school scene, it's done rather well.
Yes, the story is based on the Shakespearian story The Taming Of The Shrew, and the writer does a pretty good job of sticking close to the story.
There's a lack of plot holes and the dialogue is rich in wit and humor, which is actually very rare these days, considering most "humor" is based off the word "fart". Don't get me wrong, the movie has its fair share of vulgarities, but I suppose that's so it appeals to.. well, a younger generation audience.
The movie switches from slow to fast paced, and the characters are.. memorable, to say the least.
However, it still, in some ways, is like a lot of other teen movies you'd see. It was good, but it wasn't brilliant, you know?
