Your Average Teenage Comedy

Rating: 7/10 (22 February 2003)

Bianca Stratford(Larisa Oleynik) cannot date until her older rebellious sister Kat(Julia Stiles) starts dating. A new guy at school Cameron(Joseph Gordon-Levitt) falls completely in love with bianca and will do anything to get her. When he finds about the rule that bianca cannot date until her sister starts dating, he tries to make a popular jock Joey(Andrew Keegan) pay someone to go out with Kat, in order that Bianca can also start dating. Cameron, of course, wants to do that for his own good because he's already starting to win over Bianca. Joey has found the perfect guy to go out with Kat: A handsome bad-ass from Australia named Patrick(Heath Ledger). Patrick agrees to go out with Kat if Joey pays him a hundred dollars per date. Now everything is going fine until Patrick really starts falling in love with Kat. This wasn't a bad movie, it's your typical teenage movie but that it's based on a Shakespere play must mean something. Plus it's got the lovely Julia Stiles in it, so that's always a bonus. I would give 10 Things I Hate About You 7/10
