One of the better teen-films...

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 2001)

10 Things I Hate About You is great teen-flick, but adults alike will also like the charm and wit of this movie, starring some great new up-and-coming teen stars. The film is all about a new guy in town, Cameron (played by "3rd Rock's" Joseph Gordon Levitt) who falls in love with Bianca (Larisa Oleynik, one of the few girls from the 'Babysitters Club Movie' that has done anything since, aswell as Rachael Leigh Cook).
Only problem is, Bianca's dad is REALLY strict, and won't allow her to date guys unless her freakish older sister, 'Kat' does. Kat is a loner, who has a girl-powered opinion on just about everything, and is dubbed 'heinus bitch' by half the school. So Cameron and his friend ask another freakish loner, Patrick (Heath Ledger from 'The Patriot') to ask Kat on on a date, so he can go out with Bianca. But, arrogant model-type, Joey (Party Of Five's Andrew Keegan) also has his sights set on Bianca.
When the dance comes (and it always does in these movies) Bianca takes Joey, while Kat and Patrick go together. Poor Cameron is upset that Bianca is out with Joey, while he (Joey) blabs to Kat that the only reason Patrick is going out with Kat is because he paid him to. Only trouble is, Patrick had already fallen in love with her.
Julia Stiles (Down To You, Save The Last Dance) is brilliant as Kat, as is Larissa Oleynik. Heath Ledger is also really good and Joseph and Andrew are also great.
A great teen-flick that'll have you laughing, and as good as 'She's All That' and 'Never Been Kissed', if not better!
