10 Things I Hate About You (10th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers

After seeing Andrew Keegan on a re-run of "Moesha," I started checking up on what else he'd been up to since "Party of Five" because I hadn't really seen him in anything outside of that and "Camp Nowhere." I'd heard of this movie but never saw it so I checked it out. The beginning of the movie was rough, especially with that horny principal. I was thinking, "What was Gabrielle Union thinking trying out for this one? This is worse than those cheerleader movies." But then the characters were so ridiculous, from the teacher cursing everybody out to Keegan's character, Joey, being beyond vain. Julia Stiles is cool, and I liked that she was rebelling against the normal. I figured I had the movie now. May as well give it a shot. And it picked up. Was it ridiculous? Absolutely. When Joey drew a penis on the side of that one guy's face, I knew this movie was going to have plenty of laughs. And it did. But in between the laughing was a story about a girl who had a deeper reason for rebelling, which I'd already guessed as soon as I saw the two interact.

The summary is basically that Bianca wants to be a popular teenage girl who dates. Her father won't let her date unless her sister, Kat, dates, too. Since Kat (Stiles' character) seems to be completely repulsed by teenage boys, that'll be a challenge. But when Joey pays Patrick (played by Heath Ledger, whose name I knew but I'd never seen him in any movies outside of playing the Joker) to get Kat to go out with him, the game is on. The only problem is Cameron (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) likes her, too, so he's trying to get in on the deal. A bunch of confusion happens, and the ending is as predictable as you'd expect. I loved watching Stiles and Ledger interact onscreen though.

Another thing that amused me about the movie was the crazy choices of music. They went from George Clinton with "Atomic Dog" to Salt n' Pepa to Biggie, and then into a bunch of rock songs I didn't know. And Stiles has been watching "Player's Club" because she danced a little too convincing. Pure entertainment. Anyway, great movie that started off rather shaky.

Watching Kat (Julia Stiles) and Patrick (Heath Ledger) interact in this film is priceless. Both characters were given great lines, but it is the combination that makes the film for me. One of my favorite scenes is when Patrick is told that Kat apparently likes "pretty guys" and his facial expression is hilarious as he finally realizes they don't think he is. Which is he, of course. It eventually dawns on each of the two main characters that they like the other despite no initial intentions to do so. These awakenings are touching to watch. They each publicly embarrass themselves as they travel towards being a couple, but by the end of the movie I'm convinced they have a future. Whether that survives Kat going to Sarah Lawrence for college I can't say, but I'll bet they have a good time together for the rest of their senior year. This is a movie I can watch over and over again because it is funny and entertaining. It also makes high school look as ridiculous as it is, but yet certainly more fun than my high school years.
