Reviews for 10 Things I Hate About You
Top Critic
It's a witty, engaging confection underpinned by an air of sophistication which manages to lend its characters considerable depth and credibility.

Top Critic Gil Junger's TV roots are revealed in his excessive reliance on close-ups and the cast's preponderance of TV actors.
