Such a great high school flick.

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2012)

I've never read The Taming Of The Shrew, (probably won't,) but I wish more movies were based on Shakespeare plays. This suffered some casualties (high school clique montage a la "Mean Girls" and parties that every student goes to), but it's still a great movie regardless. Heath Ledger and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are both awesome (and will be together again in "The Dark Knight"), David Krumholtz was a crazy surprise, and Miss Julia Stiles is just a delight. The character interactions are magnificent, and I think it has to do with how well the cast got along.
I also loved seeing Save Ferris in the movie. It was a lot like seeing Metric in "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" in that I knew they were a real band but I couldn't remember which one. All in all it's a fantastic movie which I'm sure will be loved for years to come.
