My two loves, Shakespeare and Teen Movie rolled into one?

Rating: Null/10 (20 March 2001)

One of the few films which makes a lie of the perpetuating idea that it's impossible to create a teen movie that is both literate and about something. Granted, it should, being based on something Shakespeare and all. But literary adaptation is never always an insurance policy. What makes '10 thing' so special it's ongoing need to find new or unpredictable ways of telling its story, so that even though we know the inevitable outcome, nothing is actually set in stone. 'Shrew' has always been a bit of a problem of a play, containing as it does that final scene which flouts all natural feminist laws. '10 things' solution is a much more believable solution. So hats off all, verily.
