A Satire on Teenage Life

Rating: Null/10 (20 March 2004)

While currently working on a Shakespearian research paper, I find it amazing the number of similarities between Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew and Ten Things I Hate About You. Even down to the connection of Shakespeare Sonnet #10 and Kat's Sonnet -- "Ten Things I Hate About You"... As the climax of the movie, I cannot see how anyone could miss the 10 points she states.
Although a truly unrealistic movie with the personalities involved, it does show every possible exaduration from the horny guidance counselor to the unique composition of the literature class, to the overprotective father who believes more in the following of rules than the spirit of that rule.
Overall, the movie was a classic satire on teenage life.
