10 things I hate about you

Rating: 6/10 (18 March 2005)

10 things I hate about you is about teenager Cameron James (Joseph Gordon-Lovitt) joining at a new high school, where he falls for Bianca Stratford (Larissa Olyniak) who is unable to date until her uptight, outcast sister Kat (Julia stiles) begins to date. The other school outcast is Patrick (Heath Ledger) who is paid to date Kat, and so the story unfolds. With appearances from Andrew Keegan and Larry Miller.
10 things I hate about you has some interested quirky tongue-cheek dialogue and humor which is probably its best aspect, as far as story line and originality, not much there. Julia Stiles pulls of a nice job as the outcast of the group, Larry Miller also does a great job as the father of the girls.
I watched this film for another one of those teenage movies, which is basically what I got. Don't rush out to by this one unless you're saving it for a rainy day.
Pros Interesting dialogue, Reasonable acting, Humorous, one of those, loser wins out movies
Cons Predictable storyline, No originality, Seen them before, but better.
