Too immature for its own good

Rating: 5/10 (4 February 2020)

10 Things I Hate About You is too immature for its own good. It's as if the filmmakers wanted to make the leap to raunchy R-rated teen comedy, but were too scared they'd lose the tween audience, so it falls awkwardly in between the two. There are parts of this movie that I like, but if you're looking for a good film adaptation of Shakespeare's famous comedy, I'd recommend watching 1967's The Taming of the Shrew starring Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton instead.
