On the first day at his new school, Cameron instantly falls for Bianca, the gorgeous girl of his dreams. The only problem is that Bianca is forbidden to date until her ill-tempered, completely un-dateable older sister Kat goes out, too. In an attempt to solve his problem, Cameron singles out the only guy who could possibly be a match for Kat: a mysterious bad boy with a nasty reputation of his own.

Linkshoch Wonderful Movie
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
xbballbabyx I first watched this movie in 9th grade and I am now a sophomore in college. I have lost track of how many times I've seen this movie, and I have yet to grow tired of it. It is one of those few movies that can bring you the same amount of joy it did the first time you watched it even if you're watching it for the 100th time. One of my favorite comments (that I take as a compliment) anyone has ever given me is that I remind them of Kat Stratford! ("Likes: Thai food, feminist prose and angry girl music of the Indie Rock persuasion"). Heath Ledger is such a rare, charismatic star who left this world way too soon! Even when you're supposed to hate his character, how can you?! It is not just a cliche teen movie, and I would (and have) recommended this movie to so many people.
ana-62944 IT was a typical love story in high school. It was interesting but a bit boring at the beginning but then the adventure begun. I recommend it for a rainy day with nothing to do better. It is hard to figure out that this story is a Shakespeare's play modernization. I Hope You will enjoy the movie.
Evan Wessman (CinematicInceptions) Despite its shortcomings, I will say this much in praise: this movie makes me want to read The Taming of the Shrew. Whether it would be as entertaining as 10 Things is uncertain, but knowing Shakespeare it probably has a little more pride and respect put into it. I don't want to assume that the many people who worked on this movie didn't care about it, but somebody along the way sacrificed the story for jokes. Now since it's a comedy, that's not such a bad thing, but really good comedies make the story work with the laughs rather than competing with them. There's definitely a story here, but I really wish it had explored the motif of societal expectations a little more deeply. People's expectations and ideas of what is normal are discussed a lot, but these discussions are used to fix plot holes instead of giving the story a unifying theme.The characters were okay, but pretty two-dimensional. The conversations between Kat and Patrick about how people perceive them were distractingly on-the-nose. I would have liked there to be a little more attention given to Bianca and Cameron because I think they both had internal problems that weren't really treated like problems. Bianca is really superficial and unconsciously uppity, and Cameron is blinded by Bianca's physical aura, but neither of them ever suffer for their faults. The minor characters are mostly there for laughs, and they deliver by and large. Going back through the dialogue, I'm realizing how many witty lines there are throughout. The issue with that is they don't serve a whole lot of purpose and don't feel that realistic. Still, the actors own their lines for the most part, although Julia Stiles masks her inability to act behind a decent stage presence. There are a couple of plot holes, the most obvious of which is Joey's system for paying Patrick to date Kat. If Patrick really wanted to, he could have just prolonged the process to get more money out of Joey, but this possibility was ignored. This is good if your looking for a decent comedy, though it's not John Hughes. I kind of felt like it wanted to be a dramady, but the people in charge decided to make it more of a comedy in order to make it more marketable. I don't know how well it does justice to the play it is based off of, but I doubt many people will be offended by the mutilation of a play they were forced to Sparknote (is that a verb?) in high school. So, it could be kind of a fun way to spend 90 minutes with some friends, but it's no great work of cinema. Overall rating: 6.7/10.
desutterzoe i would not say this movie is perfect. the plot is far from original, and if you're looking for a truthful adaptation of 'the taming of the shrewd', this is not it."but why give it a ten?", you may ask. this movie is, as i like to call it, my 'ultimate feelgood movie'. it's just incredibly much fun. the humour works so well for me and it's a movie to watch when i don't really know what kind of mood i'm in. it also doesn't take itself too seriously. yes, the story is a bit cliché, but it knows it. that's what makes it so much fun.so if you're looking for a fun, hilarious movie, this is it.
