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

Top CriticDespite a tinny script, the cast puts in fine performances in what is a very unfunny movie. But the praise stops there.

Stiles nails her feminazi, bound-for-Sarah Lawrence shtick, but just as easily melts into giggles or pulls off a slapstick drunk scene.

What would Shakespeare have made of all of this? I suspect he would have approved.

Top CriticIt sounds awful, but Junger's movie is utterly winning.

Of course we know how it's going to turn out - that is so not the point of a film like this. As with life, the joy is the journey.

Miller is outstanding as a father who is utterly convinced that dating is the first step towards instant and complete moral and sexual decay.
01/01/00
Easily transcends its hackneyed plot through vivacious acting, crackling dialogue, and sympathetic characters.
01/01/00
This production, these situations and characters, are to Shakespeare what advertising is to truth.
02/14/01
Definitely a cut above the current crop of teen-oriented comedies, thanks to an appealing cast of fresh faces, as well as a surprisingly literate script.
01/01/00
I doubt I would be able to find ten things I hate about 10 Things I Hate About You, but the positive aspects of the film far out-number ten.
01/01/00
How much does this movie suck? Let me count the ways.
01/01/00
What raises this venture a few notches above your normal acne fare is an extremely clever screenplay
05/14/01
Lame scenes are made nifty by the movie's endless energy.
01/01/00
A routine exercise in teen-targeted silliness.
