Fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2005)

First I had this movie on tape and watched it over and over again, after some time I bought the DVD and now I'm still not bored. The story isn't very complicated, but it doesn't need to be, because it's a sit-back-and-have-fun romantic comedy. Cameron is in love with Bianca, but her dad has a rule about dating: no dating till you graduate. Later on he rewrites it to: Bianca can date if Katherina (her sister) dates.The only problem is: Kat is "a bit" antisocial. After a while Cameronand his friend Michael find the perfect date for Kat: Patrick. They say he ate a duck when it was alive, he was in prison, sold his liver and stuff like that. But because Cameron and Michael know Patrick won't listen if they say: "hi, you have to date Kat!", they approach Joey,the most popular guy in school, who wants Bianca too, just as a toy.Michael says it's a win-win situation: he gets to date Bianca and Michael is cool by association (If Joey says hi to Michael in the hallor something). Joey talks to Patrick, gives him money for a date. Now Cameron can try to seduce Bianca, but off course also something happensbetween Kat and Patrick. I'm not gonna say how it ends, but I think you already guessed it.
The story is cool, it's written by Shakspeare (Taming the shrew). I think Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles are great actors and the music is fun too (Letters to Cleo, Save Ferris). My message is: Watch '10 things' and you'll have a great time!
