Quite good, even for a modern adaptation

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 1999)

10 Things I hate about you, was, in fact, quite a well done movie. It's based on the Shakespeare play The Taming Of The Shrew, where one popular sister cannot get married if the other, and anti-social 'shrew' dosen't. The movie had to be changed for today's adolescents, but sticks true to the orignal plot line. The acting is well done, especially on the part of Julia Stilles, who plays 'Kat', the 'shrew'. Larissa Olyneik is well-cast in the part of Bianca, and Joseph-Gordon Levitt makes a good showing as Cameron. Larry Miller is hilarious as their up-tight obstetrician father, who feels all men are evil, and only want to get it on w/ his daughters. 8/10.
