10 Things I Hate About You (DVD) Reviews

When hiring this movie was first suggested I turned up my nose at it. I thought, another teenagers flick where the hottest guy in school has to appreciate a lesser unpopular chick etc etc etc. Since seeing it it has enterred my all time favourites list. Any old somebody can take the formula of The Taming of the Shrue and put it into a school yard, ...  Read the complete review

Last night I took a night off Dooyoo, shocking I know...and watched a film on the satellite, 10 things I hate about you. Well, at first glimpse another teen film with the usual lust, boy meets girl, boy wants girl, girl wants boy, fall out, make up, type thing. In a way it is but it has been put together very well and the actors ...  Read the complete review

Although this is a good movie it is so obvious what is going to happen, a couple fall in love and then break up and make up again. This is about two sisters one who is Miss High school, Bianca (played by Larrisa Oleynik or known as Alex Mack to some of you), and Cat who is very unsociable. Bianca is always trying to get with ...  Read the complete review

Don't get me wrong, I like the film a lot, but where are the etras on this disc? There are literally none :( The film is the story (loosely based on Shakespeare's "Taming of the shrew") of a young high school girl, who isn't allowed to date until her older sister does. Obviously, the prospective suitor comes up with ...  Read the complete review

Imagine Heath Ledger, yes, that's the one, the big hunky aussie guy, singing that song - and you've pretty much summed up this whole movie, surprisingly funny. I have to admit, I saw the box in the video shop and though "hmmm" another teen movie - was reluctant to get it, until a friend convinced me otherwise! ...  Read the complete review

10 Things I Hate About You is reported to be based on The Taming Of The Shrew, yet it is actually based on many other better movies. The film is centred around a possessive father who won't let his high school twins act like girls should which is date and go out. However, the father tells them they can date if both of them find a man who will ...  Read the complete review

Before I start, let me just say one thing : I loved this film. Now, to justify the title, I must list 9 great things (easy) and my one regret. 1. A classic storyline that was jazzed up enough to be counted as new. Two sisters, one popular, one not. Both or neither can go to the prom. Therefore, popular girl pays to have sister taken. ...  Read the complete review

It was my partners choice to rent a video and so I sat back under the impression that I was going to bored with the usual US teenage ?chick? flick. I was pleasantly surprised. The film is based on William Shakespeare?s Taming of the Shrew and is the story love life of a group of American Teenagers. The father of two, very different, ...  Read the complete review

Oh yeah, tell me all about it – yet another teen movie, where ugly girl falls for gorgeous guy, only to be made over and suddenly become stunning right? Well sort of. This was what I expected of this, and got quite a shock, because I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this very good film, and would willingly watch it again… OK, it ...  Read the complete review

10 Things I Hate About You is a fairly basic teen love story, but with the added twist of Shakespeare and some good comedic acting. The story is based on Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. It is about two sisters, one very popular, Bianca Stratford (played by Larisa Oleynik) and the other, Katrina, or "Kat" (played by Julia ...  Read the complete review

yes I know it's another teen comedy! Another film about teenaggers struggling through high-school trying to find dates, sort out their love lives deal with siblings, ending with another prom. I know it's all the same to most people but I loved this film! Larissa Oleynik stars as Bianca - little miss popular, who in spite of her ...  Read the complete review

This one's got a bit of atwist though, it's loosely based on "The Taming of the Shrew" but it's obviously been updated a fair bit to fit into a contemporary setting. And like other recent remakes of literary classics, it's really good (Clueless for example!) The story is based around the Stratford sisters, ...  Read the complete review

"10 Things I Hate About You" is "The Taming Of The Shrew" rejigged for teens. The script (Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith) owes less to Will the Quill than to been-there cynicism. These kids have no illusions. Life is a role play, in which suckers are sucked and tough chicks don't work with safety nets. At the ...  Read the complete review

A thought from the trailer that this film was going to rubbish, but I was actually very surprised. Its a bit of a girly film I agree, quite slushy in places but it is very funny and that makes it a bit more watchable for the male population. Its based around some Shakespeare story, and runs along the same American teen movie ...  Read the complete review

No, not William Shakespeare, I mean Willy's hipster street cousin, "Shakes-Master P," creator of 10 Things I Hate About You, a.k.a. The Taming of the Shrew II. Hey, even if you know the tale, It's Shrew to You. As I nestled into my seat, Shakes-Master P was just a few rows away, and the frolicking comedie commenced. It ...  Read the complete review

I really enjoyed evey minute of this movie, it was funny and had a bit of drama in it. It was really funny in some parts, but there were some very sad moments. Its all about two sisters, and all the boys like the younger sister and want to take her to the prom, but she isnt allowed to go unless her older sister goes. So a boy pays another boy to ...  Read the complete review

1. Sharp, witty, smart dialogue (unlike most teeny-bopper flicks). 2. It has a superb cast, like Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, and Larissa Oleynick. 3. Great plot and update on classic play. 4. It mocks the stereotypes of high school people. 5. It's the best teen flick since Clueless. 6. The ending was great. 7. The school used in the movie that ...  Read the complete review

This is an important film to me. I saw it after going through a messy split with an ex-girlfriend, and it changed the way I saw things and turned me round again. It gave me a lot of hope again and made me see things wouldn't be so bad. Which doesn't say what the film is like - it is brilliant. A young talented cast play off one ...  Read the complete review

The stratford sisters couldn't be more different: Bianca is pretty and popular, but has never had a date; Kat is her older sister - very attractive physically, but bad tempered, sarcastic, and determined to alienate any man stupid enough to fancy her. Bianca would love to have a date - she's had plenty of offers. But the household rule is ...  Read the complete review

This is probably my favourite teen flik of the year (excluding American Pie) and it has the most realistic storyline that I have ever come across. So, here are a few things I love about this film... 1. The great acting shoves it up to a cool standard by anybody's books 2. The realism in the story line makes it a great ...  Read the complete review
