Ten things I hate about you is actually based on a Shakespearian play, and adapted into a movie for teenagers.
I must say that this movie will have mixed feelings with different people, and I fell somewhere inbetween.
The movie revolves around pretty Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik) whom is in a dilemma. A family rule forbids her from dating until her unpopular, rebellious, boy-hating older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) gets a boyfriend of her own. In an attempt to win Bianca, a potential boyfriend (Andrew Keegan) desperately attempts to set Kat up with Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger), another rebel whom may just be able to win Kat's heart.
The movie actually paces around the different groups of characters well. Usually you only follow the main characters, and don't get to see much of the storyline unfold from different perspectives, but this was done well.
I also like the more realistic dialogue and acting of this high school
movie; I'm not sure if this is because it took place in Seattle (close to where I live in Canada).
I gave Ten things I hate about you 6 out of 10 stars. This would fluctuate depending on what type of movie you like.. for me, this movie was entertaining enough to enjoy it contently, but I wouldn't buy the video.
