Surprises all around

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 1999)

I was really surprised by 10 Things I Hate About You. I was expecting some teeny-bopper flick (I'm 19, I was a little worried) with formulaic, almost-slapstick jokes. Instead, I found myself laughing and thoroughly enjoying myself through the whole movie. I saw it with my boyfriend and he really enjoyed it too. I was relieved to see the name was a bit of a misnomer...I expected a choppy list of "10 things" but the story flowed smoothly. I recommend it as a light comedy with flair as a good (if slightly loose) remake of "Taming of the Shrew".
