A predictable romantic comedy

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2017)

"10 things I hate about you" is a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's play "The Taming of the Shrew". The movie takes place in Seattle and it follows the story of two sisters who have different mindsets and desires. Their dad is overprotective and, as a result, the girls can't date until they graduate. Then, one day, he decides that if the older sister Kat is going to date someone, Blanca will be allowed as well. As Bianca tries to convince her older sister to change her mind, in the whole picture appears Joey, a bad guy who wants to have all the girls in the high school. Cameron, the new boy, falls in love with Bianca and sees beyond the surface. He sees the real Bianca. Also, he has a plan and Patrick has a huge role in it. But will their lies destroy everything? It seems pertinent to remember that this is a predictable contemporary movie, full of clichés and typical high-schoolers. I enjoyed this film, but it didn't stand out for me. If you're new in the contemporary genre, you should give it a try.
