A very engaging remake of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 1999)

I enjoy wry comedy a lot, and this movie did not fail to please me. There are quite a few bust-a-gut scenes in this movie (especially when the guidance counselor tells Kat that she's known as a "heinous bitch") as well as a good plot in which various characters grow and learn from their experiences.
There are a few plot holes--what happened to Kat and Bianca's mother? Why is Kat such a bitch? (I didn't buy the explanation, as it seemed flat compared to the multidimensionality of the rest of her character.)
P.S. The "Letters to Cleo" band really rocks--they do an excellent cover of Cheap Trick's "I want you to love me" (not to sure if this is the name of the song--I'm not good with song titles) :)
A great date flick.
