About 10 Things I Hate About You

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.

Our take on 10 Things I Hate About You

Gil Junger's 1999 teen comedy reworks a familiar setup into a sharp high-school romance: new student Cameron is smitten with Bianca, but she can't date until her prickly, fiercely independent older sister Kat does. His fix is to recruit a mysterious bad boy with a reputation to match Kat's, setting a scheme in motion that keeps complicating. Balancing comedy, drama and romance, the film gives its heroine genuine bite rather than reducing her to an obstacle, and lets the manufactured courtship stumble toward something real. It suits viewers who like their teen movies witty and a little barbed, and anyone in the mood for a smart, warm-hearted romance.
