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.

Critics Consensus

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

Terry Lawson Detroit Free Press 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. Rated: 3/4 Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Robert Philpot Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Jay Carr Boston Globe Smartly written, lofted into orbit by a heads-up ensemble performance, it's bursting with new talent on both sides of the camera. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 10, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins For the most part, the cast sells it (Ledger is a clear highlight), while the conclusion is pleasant and the teen romance effectively cute. Rated: 6/10 Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Akos Peterbencze The Screen 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. Mar 14, 2024 Full Review Patricia Karounos Refinery29 10 Things I Hate About You — a modernized version of William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew — has everything you could want from a teen rom-com.

Audience Member É exatamente o tipo de filme que eu gosto de assistir Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Zling K this movie is ONE of a kind romcoms are usually not my thing but GAWDDAMN im so glad i gave this movie a chance every character was HAWT BROU Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Alya N DEFINITELY MY KIND OF ROM COM MOVIE, love it!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review THE NASHVILLE I One of the very few movies to have a perfect cast. Everyone hits their roles with flying stars, but also compliments everyone so well- it’s wonderful! Enough cant be said about how well the movie balances the satisfaction for romantic reasonance and friendly fun. Definitey the best 90s movie of all time, but honestly one of the best movies of the 1900s that’s ages really well into the 2020’s. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Raiodesol S Honestly, if it was good at the time, it didn’t age well. Pointless jokes and a narrative that doesn’t make its main characters go from point A to point B. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Audience Member Movie was good, a nice story surrounding teenagers Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
