A film only a bop could love

Rating: 6/10 (29 September 2001)

"10 Things..." is a typical teen campus romantic comedy romp with the usual bunch of slightly older than teen stars, a thin plot (forget Shakespeare), and envelope pushing on sex innuendos required to separate the kids from the price of admission. The flick has a lively script, a bit of "tude", and a few good moments but lacks the sophistication and insight of the trend setting John Hughes films. Not showing us anything new, "10 Things..." is an ok diversion for the high school crowd which will probably be only marginally entertaining for adults.
