10 Things I Hate About You

Pros: Good cast, decent soundtrack, some great scenes and dialogue...
Cons: ... the rest is typical teen movie fodder...

Sometimes you watch a film you loved as a teenager and enjoy it just as much, and sometimes... you don't.   I found the latter to be the case with Ten Things I Hate About You - it certainly has some memorable moments, but much of the ...

Pros: Plays on dual levels. Funny.
Cons: A few plot slips.

10 Things I Hate About You is an offbeat teen flick. It’s often compared to Shakespeare and Taming of the Shrew. I guess any plotline that includes a headstrong female with opinions who must be won over by a handsome guy could be...

Pros: The humor is more intelligent than most movies in this genre.
Cons: This, a Shakespeare remake? Yeah, and West Side Story was Romeo and Juliet. Oh, wait...

I've got a weird sense of humor.

Godspell is funny to me. Animal House is not.

Throw Momma Off the Train? Laughed until I cried.

Something About Mary? Fell asleep.

What I'm trying...

Pros: Quality acting, plenty of great humor, story more romantic than most teen flicks.
Cons: A bit of bad teen music in the soundtrack.

It isn't every day that a film geared primarily toward teenagers comes along and actually impresses anyone, but in 1999 there was one which performed just such a task. 10 Things I hate About You, starring Heath Ledger (...

Pros: Hilarious, Heartfelt, And Hard Not To Love.
Cons: ?

NOT A FAN

Let me start of saying that I am NOT a fan of teenage flicks with guys chasing girls. I am a teenager, but I’m not into them. They’re always just so shallow and dim. “10 things I hate about you” is my one exception....

Pros: Easy to watch, funny
Cons: Can't think of any

The Story Seattle. Present. Katrina, a senior at Padua High School, is cynical, sarcastic, feisty young woman and doesn't care about how, which makes her unpopular. Bianca, her younger sister, is the exact opposite. She wants to be with the in crowd ...

Pros: Julia Stiles, some sharp jokes here and there
Cons: Teen angst....again

Shakespeare’s cool quotient has never been so high. Not only is the 16th-century playwright riding high on the success of last year’s Oscar-collector, "Shakespeare in Love," there’s also the recent revisions of his greatest hits. First came...

Pros: Julia Stiles, who went on to better things in Save the Last Dance
Cons: A potentially clever Shakespeare update is maimed by witless writing

Seven things I hated about 10 Things I Hate About You:

1. The movie's gimmick is that Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) is barred by her hermetic father Walter (Larry Miller in yet another thankless role) from going on a date until Bianca's...

Pros: Extremely intelligent dialogue and laughs at every turn.
Cons: Not exactly Oscar material but what teen movie is?

What Wit
Let’s get this straight from the start, 10 Things I Hate About You is not another teeny- bopper escapade into trendy clothes and vapid dialogue… it is a laugh riot retelling of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. The...

Pros: A brilliant take on The Taming of the Shrew
Cons: Bianca's whining

The title of this movie is slightly deceiving. At first glance you would think you were going to see a rather odd take on an Elizabeth Barret Browning poem (She is the one that wrote the love sonnet that begins how do I love thee etc) Instead we are...

Pros: Funny, Not your typical teeny bopper movie, Heath Ledger
Cons: very stereotypical

This movie focused on 2 sisters, who are complete opposites. Bianca is "ms.perfect;" the one who is adored by everybody. The pretty, popular teen that every girl admires and every boy drools after. And then there is Kat, she known as the "heinous b&%*h."...

Pros: Great story, great script, great actors.
Cons: Nothing comes to mind...

Let's talk about Shakespeare for a minute. He is almost universally regarded as the greatest playwright of all time, right? Sure. So what happens when you take one of his more well-known plays (The Taming of the Shrew), give it a tweak here and there,...

Pros: Heath Ledger looks really good,funny,great to watch with friends or by yourself
Cons: None

When I first heard the title of this movie I thought it was going to be about people being mean and rude to each other. But then I watched it and I love the movie.


There are 10 reason why I like this movie:
10) Laugh your butt off...

Pros: Funny, Romantic parts
Cons: Stereotypes, really strange parts, Too much of a movie for what it should be

Introduction
Alright, before you jump on me for the title, I know it wasn't that original, but it got you to read this right?

I saw this movie last night after one of my friends wouldn't shut up about some of the quotes from the...

Pros: Deeper movie than expected
Cons: Not as heavily based on Shakespeare as it is made out to be

I rented this movie with expectations of it being a hilarious teeny-bopper film that simply satisfied my need to laugh at something. I was surprised to find a film with a lot more depth and emotion to it. I actually liked it a lot better than I thought...
