Reviews for 10 Things I Hate About You
What would Shakespeare have made of all of this? I suspect he would have approved.
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.
Since the natural audience for this is girls under 18, do they really need the message that brains are a bad thing, dooming them to a dateless high school career?
Miller is outstanding as a father who is utterly convinced that dating is the first step towards instant and complete moral and sexual decay.
The high school romance genre has become so popular that it's running out of new ideas and has taken to recycling classic literature.
By all rights it should have been as incredibly heinous as other recent juvenile jaunts, but it's actually kinda cute on occasion.
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.
creenwriters Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith retain Shakespeare's morals and complicated conventions, while director Gil Junger keeps the pace fast, dodging cliches as often as he can.
It's a witty, engaging confection underpinned by an air of sophistication which manages to lend its characters considerable depth and credibility.
