A teen flick for all ages?

Rating: 7/10 (16 November 2004)

When I sat down to watch this film, I will admit it, I was expecting a cheesy teen flick that will float to the top of the pile, which includes American Pie 1/2. (Woah, they're top of the list!)... Boy was I wrong.
Instead, what I get is a clever flick that is suitable for all ages, (well, not for under 12's), that is so enjoyable, I didn't want it to end. Julia Stiles is a great actress and so is Heath Ledger... Sorry, actor! Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes good use as the annoying boy who wants to get off with Julia's Sister, (Larisa Olynik).
There are some bad bits, well, not so bad, but embarrassing - but it's a cheesy teen-flick!
OK, so which is it; A cheesy teen flick or a mature flick for all ages apart from under 12's? The answer? Neither - it's a flick for all ages that is based on the Shakespearean novel 'The Taming of the Shrew'. Yes, I liked it, so it gets a 3/5 from me!
Also, the soundtrack ROCKS!
