Gabrielle Union adds her glorious beauty to the show in a smaller role and special mention goes to Susan May Pratt who plays Julia's only friend, a girl completely obsessed with Shakespeare. Young Heath Ledger is AMAZING and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Charlie Krumholtz are very good. It is really a pity that she didn't have a better career in Hollywood. Julia Stiles is SPLENDID, both in beauty and talent, every inch as good as later in "Dexter" when she played Lumen. This film is many levels above typical teenage dating comedies, which are usually full of gross, embarassing and frequently obscene moments. Let's stress it again, the two key words of this scenario are "GOOD TASTE". The greatest asset of this film is a strong scenario, full of good dialogs and tasty jokes but lacking any kind of obscenities. From that moment the story diverges quite a lot from Shakespeare's original, as it can be expected - and I will not say anything more about it. Following the advice of his friend Michael (David Krumholtz) he hires local "bad boy" Patrick (Heath Ledger) to seduce Kat - and therefore open him the way to ask Bianca out. Then one day Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a new student, fells in love with Bianca. The only problem is that Kat, although a very attractive girl and definitely not uninterested in men, is such a shrew that no boy is ready to go anywhere near her. By the orders of her father Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) can start dating only once her older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) gets also a date. The story follows initially Shakespeare quite closely, even if the action takes place in American high school, in our times. But this one, inspired by "Taming of the shrew", I found EXCELLENT and I spend a really good moment watching it! Below, more of my impressions, with some limited SPOILERS. I haven't been a teenager for a long time now and therefore romantic comedies about teenage dating are really, REALLY not my usual poison. 10 Things I Hate About You was the first feature film for director Gil Junger, and is a clever reworking of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. All the while high school newcomer Cameron James (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) desperately tries to win Bianca for himself. But Bianca and the guy she has her eye on, Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan), are eager to get their romance on the road, so Joey fixes Kat up with Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger), a new kid in town who may be just bitter and mysterious enough to suit her. The problem is, while her older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) is attractive and intelligent, she's also a mean-spirited misanthrope who rubs nearly everyone the wrong way-especially boys. Synopsis: In 10 Things I Hate About You, Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik) is a tenth grader who has never gone on a date, as her parents have a little rule where Bianca isn't allowed to go out with boys until her older sister gets a boyfriend. This version contains bonus footage which has taken the British certificate from a 12 to a 15. Cameron decides to act as matchmaker for Kat, and sets her up with a mysterious and moody loner (Heath Ledger) who may be the only guy in town who could put up with her. However, he has a slight problem: Bianca is not allowed to start dating until her grumpy older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) has a boyfriend too. On his first day at his new school Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) falls head over heels for the gorgeous Bianca (Larisa Oleynik).
