Small but perfectly formed

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2001)

What an unexpected treat. Dreading a bratty teen flick, or a tedious Shakespearean bandwagon piece, I found 10 Things a real joy. A very winning cast, decent script and mostly convincing dialogue more than made up for the occasional strange line and essential misogyny of the story. The post credit outtakes show the talented cast having a great time making the film, and the icing on the cake is that they are (mostly) within a year or two of their character ages. That alone is admirable considering that most screen teens are way past their quarter century.
