Romeo, Romeo, where art thou Rome- Oh, hi Heath!

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2012)

"10 Things About You" is a teen comedy notable only for being based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of The Shrew", starring a now deceased Heath Ledger, a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt and featuring a scene – which still melts the hearts of teenage girls - in which uber-hunk Heath serenades his lady in front of hundreds of onlookers.
The rest of the plot's your usual "boy meets girl", "boy loses girl", "boy gets girl" affair. Julia Stiles plays our female lead, and does well, except for a couple horrendously written scenes. Stiles is known for acting in a string of Shakespeare adaptations. This one climaxes with her reading a poem called "I Hate". It's the only powerful moment in the film, the only one where you sense something real, raw and naked slipping through the formula.
7.9/10 – Funny but formulaic. See "Heathers", "Ghost World" and "A Knight's Tale". Worth one viewing.
