10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

One, if not my favorite, of my favorite movives.

I really like this movie, because it's realistic and funny and sweet and just gives you butterflies. Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger were great in this film. My favorite scene was the paintball one, it was so cute and romantic. I would recommend this movie to anyone and everyone.

RIP Heath! July 20, 2008

I can find 1million things to love about this movie

Ten Things I Hate About You is one of a dozen modernized Hollywood adaptations of Shakespeare's the Taming of the Shrew. There are a million good things I can say about this movie. It's one of the best reinterpretations of the classic story I've seen.

Ten Things I Hate About You retells Shakespeare's classic story in a suburban high school this time. The shrew this time is a high school feminist. A young player wants to date her sister a bubbly princess, but the overprotective father won't let the daughters date. His rule is unless the older feminist sister dates, she can't. So the young man recruits the help of a bad boy to help him get his girl. What could have been a predictable story turns magical over the next hour. Romance, laughs, drama this movie has it all and then some.

Ten Things I Hate About You works because of the strong writing, solid direction and great performances from the cast. This modernized version captures the heart and soul of Shakespeare's material and makes it relatable to today. The characters in this script are so well developed and the actors make them into three-dimensional people you want to root for.

Julia Stiles gives the best performance of her career here. She carries the movie from opening act to final scene. The late Heath Ledger is equally strong here; he has great chemistry with Stiles and shows great acting range even in this early role. I loved the scenes on the football field! Gabrielle Union is solid in a supporting role. I wish she had this kind of writing and direction in Deliver Us From Eva. Deliver Us From Eva retells the exact same story but she's ten times better in this movie than in that one. The rest of the cast is just as great. Everyone should give themselves a round of applause. This is a top notch teen movie I would be proud to have in my DVD collection.

Ten Things I Hate About You is a Shawn James essential Teen Movie. Pick this one up with The Last American Virgin, The Breakfast Club and Pretty In Pink.

Greatest Teen Movie of All Time

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Yes, it is similar to most teen movies, which have actors way too old to look like they're in high school, and plots that probably never happen in real life, but this movie has a lot of great humor, spectacular acting, a superb soundtrack, and that little something that makes you melt in your seat every time you watch it. This movie is definitely not to be missed! April 13, 2008

Definitely fun

Cute, cute, cute.... How can anyone resist him? This was not a "deep" movie but it was still great, of course Heath was adorable. Julia Stiles' character was a riot. Good movie to laugh with! April 7, 2008
