Better than your average teen movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2006)

As someone firmly in her late 20's, this is not the kind of movie I expected to love. However, "10 Things" is in my personal Top 10 favorite movie list. This movie introduced me to Julia Stiles, and to Heath Ledger, two excellent young actors. It also began my obsession with being serenaded with "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" by a handsome man. Good thing my husband obliged. Back to the movie. Upon my first viewing, I didn't know about the "Taming of the Shrew" connection, but really enjoyed it upon that realization. The acting and casting were great, and this movie serves as a refreshing alternative to the scream-filled sex romps seen in other 'teen movies'. I even got my husband to watch it with me. 'Nuff said.
