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 counselor secretly writing a trashy romance novel. --Mark Englehart

Rating:  - 10 Things I hate about you
I love this movie and I had it on VHS and it stop working so I bought it in DVD. It is a classic.
Rating: - Probably the best 90's chick flick ever.
A movie for teens and adults for sure. My friends and I all love this movie, Heath Ledger (who plays Patrick) is for sure a knockout roll in this film. It's definitely dated, ugly clothing and all, but its cute, and funny, and you'll likely walk away loving every last character in the whole movie. (Even Kat's Pregnet-phobic father!)

Rating:  - 10 things I like
With the passing of Heath I was glad just to be able to locate a copy of this movie. 1 I just plain liked it. 2. Heath is in it. 3. Julia Stiles... need I say more! 4. It takes place in Seattle. 5. Funny, funny , funny. OK its not 10 things... Heath's passing was a tragedy and to not remember him for his early works would be a shame.
Rating: - good movie
this movie is so fun! the only disappointing thing about the dvd is that there are zero extras.
