10/4-10/8 Ten Things I Hate About You


Ten Things I Hate About You has been one of my favorite movies ever since I was young. It is a remake of the Shakespeare classic “Taming of the Shrew” set in a modern day high school. A new student, Cameron, comes to Padua High and meets a beautiful girl named Bianca. The only problem is that Bianca isn’t allowed to date until her older sister, Kat the “shrew”, dates. Kat is an unruly senior that hates conformity. Cameron, in the hopes of dating Bianca, goes on a quest to find someone to date Kat and pays the kid he chooses. The kid he picks, Patrick, is also a rebellious high school student with a bad-boy reputation. This movie is very entertaining and fun to follow. Each character has a unique personality and come into many confrontations. I enjoyed reading “Taming of the Shrew” but this movie just makes the story line so much better because it is easier to relate to. It’s a believable story and shows the drama that teenagers actually go through. It keeps you wondering who is going to end up with who and is it going to work? Ten Things I Hate About You is a mix of comedy and romance of high school teens that is a great movie.
