10 Things I Hate About You

One of my all time favorite classics!

I can't say enough good things about this movie. I do remember the first time I saw it, coming away thinking that I wanted to be just like Julia Stiles' character in it, though. She was so cool and did such an excellent job in her role, that still to this day I consider her to be the coolest teen in any 'teen movie'. Basic Plot: Cameron (Levitt), a new student at Pagua high school, falls in love with a sophomore named Bianca Stradford (Oleynik). However, Bianca has a flirtatious crush on the most popular senior at school named, Joey (Keegan). Cameron's sidekick Michael (Krumholtz)tells him, that Bianca is looking for someone to help her with French and Cameron decides that's how he'll ask her out on a date. Kat Stradford (Stiles) is Bianca's sister. Totally opposite of Bianca, she is anti-social and is the most feminist high school senior you could ever meet. Against boys, dances, and anything having to do with prepiness and silly fun, she swears off dating and finds herself being accepted to Sarah Lawrence a college across the country in hopes to get away from her father and the city she lives in. Bianca desperately wanting to date, is told by her father (Miller) that she will be allowed to date when her sister Kat does. Desperate and not knowing how to get her sister to 'date for her', ends up asking Cameron, her new French tutor, to help her with her predicament. Enter Patrick (Ledger). An outcast and rumored to have sold his kidneys on the black market for a new set of speakers, also attends Padgua high, and is unsuspecting of what will happen soon in his future. Cameron and Micheal decide that in order to make this work, they need a backer. "Someone who's stupid, but has money." So they go to Joey, telling him that they know he likes Bianca, and they need him to pay Patrick a tidy sum, to have him date Kat, in order for him to date Bianca. What Joey doesn't know, is that Cameron secretly plans to date Bianca, while he pays Patrick to take out Kat. It may sound like a very confusing movie. But it is so funny, cleverly written, and not entirely true of American teenage culture, but pretty close. The acting is wonderful and in my opinion nothing in the movie would have worked as well, without the people who played their characters. As I said before I think that Stiles' portration of Kat Stradford was right on, and no one could have done it better. Her best role, more than certainly, and I love this movie so much! I would have to say it's my favorite teen comedy next to The Breakfast Club. One the best movies, and a great watch!

For an early movie with Heath Ledger and Julia styles it was very good. Very high school berbs and funny

Item arrived sooner than expected. The outside packaging was intact and true to description. The inside disc had a few light scratches but did not affect playback at all, again as described-Like New. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Sometimes I feel like destiny is guiding me through my movie collecting and watching, so much so that I appear to have bought and then subsequently watched this on the 20th anniversary of its release. I didn't see this movie when it first came out as I was a bit young, though I probably would have enjoyed it. When I finally did see it in my 20's I really enjoyed seeing some of my favorite actors at the time as younger stars. Julia Stiles hasn't been in much as of late, but she was in a few hit movies I recall from shortly after this film came out. However, this is an early showcase for the talents of Heath Ledger and Joseph-Gordon Levitt. At this point, any movie that allows us the pleasure of experiencing Heath's charm again is worth your time. I think a lot of us forget that this kind of movie is where he came from because he died playing one of the darkest, craziest characters we've seen in modern film. Here he plays the cool guy at school, who is tasked with romancing the Julia Stiles character so that Joseph Gordon-Levitt can go on a date with her younger sister. JGL is so impressive to watch as it seems he was all but born for stardom, and is doing his own thing in Hollywood. He's really the main character of the movie, but Ledger truly steals every scene he's in. It's understandable though why Heath Ledger would command the movie, because in order for all of it to work he really has to make you like him. He has to work over the image and reputation of a character like his, to make him redeemable by the end of the film. I think this movie does a great job of recognizing how kids this age speak and act, and does so in a way that the film barely feels dated even after 20 years. Sure they don't all have cell phones and tech, but they're all acting as I'd imagine teenagers do still to this day. The film's story is really dynamic in that each of the male lead's plots play out in a way that could easily carry its own movie. In making the one relationship dependent on the other, they give the audience a lot to root for and watch in this classic 90's flick. This is definitely one of those films that I would consider an essential 90's classic, even though I didn't see it until the late 2000's. It has everything that made a movie of that time great, and it has all the charm and style of a 90's high school romantic comedy. There are plenty of Special Features and a commentary that is loaded with cast and the writers, who have a grand time remembering the old days. This is the 10th Anniversary Edition so the commentary was done around that time and some of the bigger cast members were obviously in the middle of stardom. However, it was still really fun to listen to all of them reminisce and even kick themselves over their behavior as teens during the filming of the movie. There is a reason they tried to turn this movie into a television show, and there's also a reason that it didn't work. This movie has a great romantic comedy story filled with an all-star cast, one of which we will never see another performance from so it's been a really great revisit. Blu-ray came in perfect condition and is a deal at the $6 price it's currently listed at. Highly recommended to those looking for a 90's fix or a revisit to a nostalgic classic!

Rented to show my 16 year old one of my favorite high school movies. RIP Heath Ledger. You truly were a legend!!

Fidèle à sa description.

An excellent classic that everyone should watch, it arrived well packaged and on time. A great purchase.

Buena película. Se ve muy bien la calidad de bluray. De las clásicas que hizo Heath Ledger en su juvendtud. Viene con el doblaje en español latino que conocimos en tv abierta.

Ovvero 10 cose che odio di te, il film che ha lanciato l'astro nascente Heath Ledger nel mondo di Hollywood. Si tratta di una commedia che narra degli intrecci amorosi di teenagers che frequentano un rispettabile college in una cittadina statunitense. Una commedia niente affatto banale, che fa riferimento alla nota commedia di Shakespeare "La bisbetica domata". Anche i nomi sono tutt'altro che casuali. Infatti la commedia de "La bisbetica domata" si svolge a Padova e racconta la storia di Caterina e Petruccio, avventuriero di Verona. Non a caso il college si chiama Padua ed il protagonista (Ledger) Patrick Verona. A completare il cast Julia Stiles e Joseph Gordon-Levitt, per questo film allegro e spensierato, con belle battute e una bella colonna sonora da sfondo. Forse riporta gli spettatori di una certa età ai tempi in cui si faceva e si organizzava di tutto per riuscire a fare colpo sulla persona di cui ci si innamorava. Bei tempi quando ancora non c'erano i cellulari. Molto buona la qualità DVD con discreti extra. E soprattutto, nonostante sia un'edizione tedesca ha il doppiaggio in italiano.

Romcom where nobody is retarded.
