Kat Stratford is beautiful, smart and quite abrasive to most of her fellow teens, meaning that she doesn't attract many boys. Unfortunately for her younger sister, Bianca, house rules say that she can't date until Kat has a boyfriend, so strings are pulled to set the dour damsel up for a romance. Soon Kat crosses paths with handsome new arrival Patrick Verona. Kat may let her guard down enough to fall for the effortlessly charming Patrick.

Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger add strong performances to an unexpectedly clever script, elevating 10 Things (slightly) above typical teen fare.

3/4
In terms of Shakespearean scholarship, "10 Things," directed with more energy than style by Gil Junger, may be but a footnote. But when they write the teen-flick book, this goes to the front of the class. Go to Full Review Robert Philpot Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jul 12, 2023
3.5/5
Who knew that Shakespeare dude could be so entertaining? References to him abound in this messy but enjoyable movie right down to the use of a remake of Nick Lowe's "Cruel to Be Kind." But you don't have to be a fan of the Bard to like this affable film. Go to Full Review Jay Carr Boston Globe Jul 10, 2023
3.5/4
Smartly written, lofted into orbit by a heads-up ensemble performance, it's bursting with new talent on both sides of the camera. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Feb 6, 2025
6/10
For the most part, the cast sells it (Ledger is a clear highlight), while the conclusion is pleasant and the teen romance effectively cute. Go to Full Review Akos Peterbencze The Screen Mar 14, 2024
10 Things I Hate About You has become a cult classic in the past 25 years because it nailed the universal truth about stereotypes: there’s always more to them than what’s seen on the surface. Go to Full Review Patricia Karounos Refinery29 Oct 23, 2023

Gunner I @RT64755212 4 days ago I watched the movie and thought it was cute. But mark my words, it is more of a teenage chick flick. Will I ever watch it again? All I can say is, "ask me on a later date." It's about 2 sister fighting over everything. Who does that remind you of?.... Joe Biden and Barack Obama See more Kaylee W @puddleofkoi Sep 3, 2026 Good movie, felt like one of those gacha videos from 2016. Alternate movie title idea: "Forbidden Love between Bad Girl and Bad Boy || GLMM" (If anybody makes that, make sure to add the songs How To Be A Heartbreaker, Devils Don't Fly, and Bubblegum Bitch. Thank you!)
