90s Movie Review - 10 Things I Hate About You

Director: Gil Junger
Genre: Comedy/ Romance
Runtime: 97 minutes
Year: 1999
Starring: Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Oleynik, David Krumholtz, Andrew Keegan, Larry Miller, Allison Janney, Susan May Pratt, Gabrielle Union

Description: Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) is a pretty and popular teenager who can’t go out on a date until her ill tempered older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) does.

Review: Walter Stratford is afraid that his youngest daughter Bianca ends up with babies, if she ever goes on a date. That’s why she is not allowed to date. Of course, Bianca doesn’t accept that, so dad adjusts the rule. She can date, if her older sister Kat does too. Sounds reasonable, but it actually isn’t. Kat is a feisty, sometimes bitchy teen. Newcomer Cameron, who falls for Bianca immediately, finds a way to take Bianca out. He has to find a guy to date Kat. Joey, a very popular boy, helps him by paying Patrick Verona to take out Kat. But then it turns out that Patrick starts liking Kat.
“10 Things I Hate About You” is one of the few romantic teen comedies that I absolutely love. The acting is pretty good, the script is original (at that time at least). There are many characters that I really like and can relate too. And the music is perfect for the atmosphere of the film.
I’ve seen this comedy many times and it’s the perfect date movie.

Rating: 4,5/ 5
