    my daughter and i first saw this when it went to video, oh so many years ago, and really enjoyed it. i let her know that it was a remake of 'taming of the shrew' by shakespeare and she wanted to see more. from there she watched the commedia del arte version with mark singer (beastmaster) and couldn't get into it. i wasn't sure whether to suggest the version with elizabeth taylor and richard burton but she insisted and loved it!! these releases are kinda sappy but if your child starts asking to see more of it in the original verse then, by all means, let them! beyond that, it's a fun movie and my goth, emo teenager will always sit to watch it with me.

    10 Things I Hate About You / B00000K31Q *Spoiler* Loosely based on Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew", "10 Things" is a very decent modern adaptation of this sometimes troublesome old tale. Faced with concepts that are difficult to translate to modern audiences, for instance why the desirable Bianca is off-limits until her abrasive sister Kat dates/marries in a world that no longer has bride prices and dowries, the film writers have created the clever conceit of a father obsessed with preventing his daughters from becoming grown, sexual beings. Tired of having the same argument with his social butterfly daughter Bianca, he childishly transfers the burden of parent onto the older Kat, saying that Bianca can date only when Kat does and trusting that Kat will continue to remain solitary and cloistered within the home. Neatly dodging questions of potential sexism in the original material, the abrasive Kat has been rendered as a superbly sympathetic character. From the beginning, ... Read more

    Apparently it's The Taming of The Shrew involving high schoolers, but I just found it terrible. Mainly because I couldn't stand any of the actors, their performances, or the dialogue! And I still think Heath Ledger looks exactly like that kid from 3rd Rock From The Sun. I couldn't tell them apart or remember who is who.

    This movie is a really awesome movie. If you like Heath Ledger it is a real classic when it comes to remembering the great movies that he starred in. He sure came along way from playing in A Knights Tale to playing Joker in The Dark Knight... Heath Ledger is greatly missed.

    I won't list the 10 things I love about this movie, but I can say that I love this movie. I have since I first saw it when it came out. I'm not one for mushy love stories, or chick flicks, which this movie does fall into. Nor am I a fan of Shakespeare, but this movie is just so fun you can't help but love it. It was the movie that introduced Heath Ledger to America and is a teen classic. It also stares Julia Stiles, who is no stranger to chick flicks, Larissa Olenik(from one of my favourite Nick shows The Secret World of Alex Mack) and a few other people we know pretty well. The movie is based on the play The Taming of the Shrew, but it's set in a high school which brings it home for many people, not just teens. The acting is pretty good for a teen flick, and the dialogue followable without relying too much on teenspeak. The ending is pretty much already known, but still rather cute. This is a classic. If you haven't seen it, you should.

    An okay-ish film with the best performances in it being from the banter between Julia Stiles (I think that's her name) and Heath Ledger.

    This was one of my favorite movies in high school, and I can still stomach it now, so that says something. Mostly will appeal to girls, and also has a great soundtrack (Letters to Cleo got a big boost in popularity thanks to this movie). Features the late Heath Ledger in one of his earliest hit roles.

    some things were "cute" bout it to me-but didn't actually see it til I was grown up-so I'm sure that had a lot to do w/ my opinion

    Funny, but I hate romantic comedies. This one was about as funny as it could get, so I don't blame it for some of it's 'dry' plot. Still, it wasn't that great.
