10 things I hate about you, starring Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles
10 things I hate about you, starring Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. Yep, they look soooo into each other.

This probably has to the best, teen movie ever- because it is just not exactly a teen movie. Sure it takes place in a high school and between high school students, but it is based on Shakespeare comedy “Taming of The Shrew” –which I fully intend to read.

Let’s talk about the movie.

When Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) starts at his new school, he immediately develops a friendship with one of the outcasts named Michael (David Krumholtz)and falls for Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik) at first sight. Michael immediately warns Cameron that Bianca is way out of his league and he is not exaggerating. She is more into Joey (Andrew Keegan), a self-centered popular guy who gets modeling gigs. Joey is only into Bianca because she is a virgin. What really challenges him though is that Bianca’s father (Larry Miller) is not letting her date.

As Cameron tries to get closer to Bianca while he tutors her French (a language he is trying to master only to be able to spend time with her), Bianca informs him that his father has made a new rule: she can date when her older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) dates. The problem is her sister (also at her high school) is against every thing Bianca ever believes in. She loves punk and rock, she is anti-fashion, is all for individuality and she’d rather die than date an idiot at her school.

This is when Cameron and his friend come up with a great plan. Michael makes a deal with Joey- they’ll find a guy to date Kat- Joey will pay the guy. Then he will be able to date Bianca. Of course the real plan is for Cameron to be able to B himself. Then they make a deal with Patrick (Heath Ledger) whose reputation is bad as Kat’s. Cameron and Michael help Patrick to get to Kat. Of course things get complicated as Bianca only seems to be using Cam and Patrick starts falling for Kat….

It is really funny and romantic. Heath Ledger is awesome as usual and the casting just seems right. I love how Michael uses this opportunity to get back at his old best friends who excluded him and Kat’s father (Larry Miller) is just a riot. He cracks me up every time. Then there is the headmaster who is writing an erotic novel and the English teacher who seems to hate all of his students. And any soundtrack that involves Joan Jett is fine by me. Do watch it. After all how many other “teen” movies did you see that was rated 6.9 on imdb, voted by 56.799 people? Exactly!!!

Enjoy the trailer

    Sounds really cool. I want to see it but it is soooo hard to find older movies in here at my country.

    Btw, you probably get a lot of traffic so why don’t you start podcasting. It’s fun.

    An excellent movie! Julia is very cute, but Heath Ledger had a great talent, even at the beginning of his short career. This movie is similar to another one starring Drew Barrymore “Never been kissed”… I like both of then 🙂

    I adore this movie, it’s is all there is to it:)
    The cast is just great, the script is hilarious with just the right amount of romantic touches. I always identify with misfits better than I do with the popular kids. I always hated pop music, loved rock, despised fashion and was in love with the English language. And I always fancied boys who looked rugged but good.
    I guess my favorite scene is Heath serenading infront of everyone and not stopping even when security arrives. Classic. Great soundtrack too.
    I love “never been kissed” as well. You should comment on it, it is featured on the blog:
