fun and funny

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2001)

A well written well acted gem which transcends the teen romance genre. Julia Stiles is not only lovely, she captivates with her convincing portrayal of a teen who wants all the things she pretends to hate.Larry Miler as her father stands out in a standout supporting cast.The updating of Shakespearian dialogue and themes is seamless, making the timeless relentlessly modern. I have watched this movie over and over. Each time, I find something different to laugh about, yet the social commentary is subtly always working. Fans of diverse movies from "She's All That" to " Almost Famous" and " Shakespeare in Love" ought to enjoy this movie.
