not another teen movie!

Rating: 9/10 (11 April 2002)

"Not another teen movie!" I hear you all say! Yet 10 things... is so much more than a teen movie. First it has a fabulous cast (the ever- brilliant Julia Stiles and the up-and coming star, if A Knight's Tale is anything to go by, Heath Ledger), a superb script and it's just really clever. Yes, it is a love story, but a very intelligent re-working of Shakespeare's(also known as the king of writers)The Taming of the Shrew. Yes the ending may be all too perfect and happy but by the end you'll just love Julia Stiles' character sooo much that you'll be glad for her. There are some great laughs and a hilarious overprotected father played by Larry Miller who has some killer lines that had me in hysterics. There's not just comedy though, there's a few heart felt moments (those who've seen the movie I'm talking about the bit with the poem!) Overall I would recommend this movie to everyone. Don't be put off by the teen movie tag, because it's a really fun movie for teens and those beyond their teen years!
A very enjoyable 8 out of 10!
