I'm gonna make this short and sweet...

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2002)

... because there really isn't much to say about this movie. It's no masterpiece, and I don't think the makers intended it to be. But as a teen comedy, a contradictio in terminis if there ever was one, this one really works. No fart jokes, no abuse of animals, but instead an interesting story, great music and nice acting. Heath Ledger obviously stands out here and would go on to do bigger and better things (look out for his short but pivotal role in this years Monster's Ball). 10 Things kept me entertained for the duration of the movie and I was left sitting with a smile when the credits ran. And that's something that can't be said about every movie Hollywood churns out.
