Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9786305537793 Format: Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, NTSC ISBN: 6305537798 Label: Walt Disney Video Languages: Manufacturer: Walt Disney Video Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Walt Disney Video Release Date: April 04, 2000 Running Time: 97 minutes Studio: Walt Disney Video Theatrical Release Date: March 31, 1999 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Description: A cool cast of young stars is just one of the things you'll love about this hilarious comedy hit! On the first day at his new school, Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt -- HALLOWEEN: H2O, TV's "3RD Rock From The Sun") instantly falls for Bianca (Larisa Oleynik -- THE BABY SITTERS CLUB), 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 (Julia Stiles -- THE BOURNE IDENTITY, SAVE THE LAST DANCE) 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 (Heath Ledger -- A KNIGHT'S TALE, THE PATRIOT) with a nasty reputation of his own! Also featuring a hip soundtrack -- this witty comedy is a wildly entertaining look at exactly how far some guys will go to get a date! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 10 Things I hate about youI 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: - whats to hate about this film??10 things i hate about you is a great movie. i loved it, its funny, romantic which is everything i like in a movie =D it was not until after i saw it that i found out its bassed on a story my Shackspear. Anyone who gets the chance HAS to see this film. its the best Rating:  - 10 things I likeWith 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 moviethis movie is so fun! the only disappointing thing about the dvd is that there are zero extras. |
