 10 Things I Hate About You (DVD)
 10 Things I Hate About You (DVD) ... DVD released 12 October, 1999 at Walt Disney Video / Features of the DVD: Closed-captioned, Colour, Dolby, DVD-Video, Letterboxed, NTSC, Widescreen / It's, like, Shakespeare, man! This good-natured and likeable update of The Taming of the Shrew takes the basics of Shakespeare's farce about a surly wench and the man who tries to win her and transfers it to modern-day Padua High School. Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles) is a sullen, forbidding riot grrrl who has a blistering word for everyone; her sunny younger sister Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) is poised for high school stardom. The problem: overprotective and paranoid Papa Stratford (a dryly funny Larry Miller) won't let Bianca date until boy-hating Kat does, which is to say never. When Bianca's pining suitor Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) gets wind of this, he hires the mysterious, brooding Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) to loosen Kat up. Of course, what starts out as a paying gig turns to true love as Patrick discovers that underneath her brittle exterior, Kat is a regular babe. The script, by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, is sitcom-funny with peppy one-liners and lots of smart teenspeak; however, its cleverness and imagination doesn't really extend beyond its characters' Renaissance names and occasional snippets of real Shakespearean dialogue. What makes the movie energetic and winning is the formula that helped make She's All That such a big hit: two high-wattage stars who look great and can really act. Ledger is a hunk of promise with a quick grin and charming Aussie accent and Stiles mines Kat's bitterness and anger to depths usually unknown in teen films; her recitation of her English class sonnet (from which the film takes its title) is funny, heartbreaking and hopelessly romantic. The imperious Allison Janney (Primary Colors) nearly steals the film as a no-nonsense guidance counsellor secretly writing a trashy romance novel. --Mark EnglehartNewest Review: ... a geek, he's instantly smitten with Bianca, the popular girl. Bianca's dad has a rule that she cant date though unless her ... more ... sister does. Problem is, her sister, Kat, refuses to date and people seem kind of scared of her.
Insert Partrick....the 1 guy who isnt scared of her. Michael (the geek) makes a deal with the model and popular guy Joey to pay Patrick to take out Kat just so he friend Cameron can get in with Bianca.
Thats all im going to say about the plot because i dont like ruining films for anyone who hasnt seen them.
The acting isnt nearly as bad as it normally is in these kind of films. Julia Stiles has been great in everything i...more |

For years now 10 Things I Hate About you has been my favourite film, it's got everything; great music, great cast, great acting and of course eye candy, but it's still such a basic film. Read on if you want to know more about the best film ever made: The Basic Plot Okay the plot isn't that basic to tell but when you watch it it's a lot simpler. Cameron is a new student at Padua high and falls in love with a sophomore called Bianca. However he's not the only one who likes her, the 'jock' of the school is called Joey and he wants her for himself. Bianca's sister is the complete opposite of her, Kat doesn't do things that ...

Saw this film a few years ago, but was so hooked I had to watch it over and over again, as if squeezing the last of the water out of a sponge. I even took it out of a DVD rental place multiple times, to watch it with different friends, as it is a very common favourite with every single one of my friends. One even so much so that she has watched it at least 30 times to date. A bit obsessive I know, but oddly enough she is the smartest girl I know, and that is saying something. Under no circumstances has the teen film genre been any better than it is today. Many of the classics related with a massive profit from the box office succession of titles like She's All ...
