Hilarious!!

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 1999)

Outstanding movie making!!
I absolutely loved it! Based on Shakespere's play, The Taming of the Shrew, 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, is the modern day teenage version of it. Taming of the Shrew is also an old Elizabeth Taylor movie which was done in the early to mid 60's which I found to be very well done.

My favorite in the whole thing was Joseph Gordon-Levitt(Cameron James)! He was so cute, sweet, and just all around perfect!
The two reasons why I wanted to see this movie was because of Larisa Oleynic (Bianca Stratford), and Andrew Keegan (Joey Donner). I was very disappointed with Larisa, but on the other hand, very impressed with Andrew's acting.
Joey Donner is the so called Pawn in the movie. A stupid self absorbed rich Loser, pays Verona to go out with Kat so that he can go out with her sister, Bianca.
Cameron James is the quiet guy who is madly in love with Bianca. He is the actual brains to the operation of having Joey pay. Along with his side kick Michael.
I fell in love with all the characters except for Bianca's. Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles) had to be the best of them all, even though they are all amazingly unique in many different ways. She is truely the funniest, most sarcastic and she simply is hilarious!
Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) could actually be cute if it weren't for his stupid hair cut (Which by the way Kat mentions in her 10 things I hate about you poem.)!
David Krumholtz (Michael Eckman) who I recognized from other movies such as, Life with Mikey, The Santa Clause, Addams Family Values, was rather silly in this movie. He was clever I must say in this movie, and he did have some very funny lines too!
The movie in itself, was extraodinarily good, and in my book it deserves a ten, hence the name 10 things I hate about you.
This movie has wit, charm, humor, romance, and at the end of the movie it has out-takes.
It is filmed in Seattle, and at the end of the movie during the credits, the band Letters to Cleo, play on the top of the school, singing I WANT YOU TO WANT ME, originally preformed by Cheap Trick.
Please watch this movie if you like teenage romance comedies!
