3. Consistently enjoyable.
4. Top notch directing all-around.
5. Good sou... read more -
June 23, 2011A great chick flick that will have you smiling. Julia Stiles is extremely fiesty and plays the role well. Heath's singing is hilarious... probably what made the movie for me.

May 31, 2011Heath Ledger dancing up and down on those steps getting restrained by the school's security guards will forever be a staple of contemporary teenage cinema. There are so many memorable scenes in this thing.

May 17, 2011It was fun to watch. I avoided this movie for a long time but decided to watch it anyway. And I'm happy that it didn't waste my time.

May 7, 2011The basic idea of 10 Things I hate About You should be terrible, but it ends up being ingenious. You'd think a high school version of "Taming of the Shew" would be ridiculous and stick out like a sore thumb. However, this is so well translated and well put together that there's a... read more

Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Stiles nails her feminazi, bound-for-Sarah Lawrence shtick, but just as easily melts into giggles or pulls off a slapstick drunk scene. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The movie wimped out by blanding down the story and the characters to the point where she isn't really a shrew and he isn't really a maniac. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The notion of a contemporary high school as a hotbed of romantic intrigue is utterly apt, and the performances almost make the update work. Full Review

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
As satirical as it is romantic, this is one teen film that is wise enough to span generations in its appeal. Full Review

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Stiles, whose slightly rushed, impatient delivery sometimes recalls the young Jane Fonda, lets enough sweetness seep into her portrayal to lend even the nastiest retort a hint of forgiveness. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
No one in this film is a big star, but everyone is a capable actor. Full Review

Paul Tatara, CNN.com
Miller is outstanding as a father who is utterly convinced that dating is the first step towards instant and complete moral and sexual decay. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The high school romance genre has become so popular that it's running out of new ideas and has taken to recycling classic literature. Full Review
January 1, 2000
Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com
Debut film director Gil Junger may be a TV veteran making a movie for the Clearasil crowd, but he doesn't sacrifice the story to gimmicky camerawork or overzealous pacing. Full Review
