    A wittical story with a Shakepearean twist - it knows when to stop being such an arse and start being serious. The opposite worlds-clash concept was a fun ride, and the actors escalated the fun with their sarcasm and sassiness (notably Larry Miller). One of those teen movies you shouldn't miss out on.

    Comédia Água com açucar boa pra sábado a tarde ou domingo no mesmo horário, sem nada pra fazer. Roteiro previsível da velha e cansada fórmula de filmes juvenis americano. Mas vale a pena!

    Ah. Shakespeare in the present. Definately worth a look. If you liked this, check out "O" the modern-day Othello. That's good too.

    For all its hip dialogue and contemporary ideologies, "10 Things I Hate About You" uses a plot so ancient that the very thought of it conjures up images of studio executives passing out scripts made of papyrus scrolls. Amazingly enough, thanks to a few smart touches and a competent cast, the film retains an undeniable charm that is felt throughout most of the movie. The chemistry between Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger is the high point of the film. Their romance is genuine and effective and at times I wished that their characters would head out for the horizon instead of staying locked down to the conventions of the story, which remains frustratingly faithful to the traditional boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl formula. Simultaneously, the screenwriters have also found time to incorporate an assembly line of scenes found in almost every other high school romantic comedy including an obligatory party sequence and an emotional climax at the prom. The only moment of pure originality finds Ledger's character dancing across the bleachers of the school's football stadium whilst professing his love for the Stiles character. All of this is allegedly based on William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew", but it is more or less used as a crutch and a platform for a series of not-so-subtle winks at the camera. For example, most of the action takes place at the fictitious Padua High School and the two leads are named Patrick Verona and Katarina Stratford. The whole effect feels contrived and the picture would have been better off without it. Nevertheless, we still have Stiles and Ledger at the center and complimenting their performances is a breezy soundtrack and a few praiseworthy supporting players, including Allison Janney as a horny high school counselor and Daryl "Chill" Mitchell as a passionate English teacher who raps the words of Shakespeare to great effect. Imagine if the writers had taken a cue from the Mitchell character and turned the project into a Shakespeare-inspired rap musical. That would have been interesting!

    never search for a perfect partner. just keep your relationship almost perfect. that's one thing i've learned from this movie. and one more thing: be honest of what your intentions are so there won't be no regrets in the end.

    I don't remember not disliking this movie, but I don't remember enough of it to really know whether or not I could miss seeing it ever again. I will watch it again, someday.

    I saw this film when it came out and was blown away by the Australian kid. I followed his career from then on. It was, of course, Heath Ledger

    Badboy gets girl, looses her, proves he's not really a badboy, gets her back. Nothing surprising, but good movie.

    I change my mind.This movie is based on Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew???Don't get me wrong.I loved it! Julia Stile is such a babe I adore her! And Heath Ledger...God he was sooooo cute during his younger time haha and he was really funny too!!I really liked him in this movie.Romantic.Oh did I mention that the part where his rendition of Can't Take My Eyes Off of You was absolutely stunning.I mean...he can sing!!! :)

    The movie was simple.Some bits were exaggerated (the black teacher having some issues with his students...geddit?) and the father and daughter issue.Well the rest was lovely.Heath Ledger and Julia Stile looked great together!

    Great! Except for 2 things: 1) Oleynik isn't even pretty (how can she be the most popular girl??) and 2) does the title really fit?....

    For this movie I truly enjoyed the humor in it. It made me laugh and sympathize with a few characters, at times I found my self biting my nails as I wondered what would happen. This is one of the few ?chick flicks? that ranks decently in my book; hopefully it won?t be the last.
