I have finally found a teen film that can beat American Pie!

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2000)

In the vain of She's All That and Can't Hardly Wait, comes Ten Things I Hate About You. I loved it. The story focuses on Cameron, the new kid at school, who falls for Bianca, the gorgeous girl of his dreams. The only problem for Cameron is that Bianca is forbidden to date unless her ill-tempered, completely un-dateable older sister Kat goes out, too! So to solve his problem, Cameron singles out Patrick, who can match Kat, the mysterious bad boy of the school, with a nasty reputation.
Firstly, Australia's Heath Ledger was fantastic in this movie. He played the role of Patrick Verona ( the bad boy at school) perfectly. I look forward to seeing him in more films and if you haven't seen him in The patriot, then you have missed a truly great performance. Katrina Straforti (Kat for short) was played by Julia Stiles and she did every mood swing in the film perfectly. As Pat says to Kat, `You're not as mean as you think you are', there relationship is one of the key factors of the whole movie! While Kat's younger sister Bianca, played by Alex Mac star Larisa Oleynik was great too. She shows the potential of being a big star one day. Finally the movie itself has many twists to it and the title in many ways tells you what the flick is going to be like. So if you are dying to see a good teenage flick with a difference, be like me, go to the video store do yourself a favour and hire `Ten Things I Hate About You!'
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars or 9/10.
