Fourth best High-school film ever!

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 1999)

First of all, the three better are Heathers, Fame and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. As a Shakespeare film, this film isn't much of a film. But The Taming of the Shrew is impossible to play anyway. (Kate gets BEATEN into being a nice girl by Petruchio, how PC is that?) As a high-school film, it is wonderful! Acting is good, story & directing half serious, half fun, in a way that reminds me of the wonderful TV series Press Gang. I promised myself not to mention how cute Heath ledger is, but now I just broke my promise. So what. It's not perfect, but it's close. I went out of the theatre smiling like a madwoman, and less than 2 weeks later I went back and saw it another time. I can't wait 'til it comes on video so I can see it again.
