Director: Gil Junger
Stars: Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Larisa Oleynik, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Andrew Keegan
It's a high school version of The Taming of the Shrew. Cameron (Gordon-Levitt) moves into town and falls for the first girl he sees at his new school. But Bianca (Oleynik) isn't allowed to date, until her sister Kat (Stiles) does. And Kat is a rough, feminist, hard-headed girl, who has no interest in any of the boys at school.
Cameron will not be swayed by her wild behavior. Another new student, bad boy Patrick Verona (Ledger), seems to be the perfect guy to handle Kat. Cameron convinces the school's richest student, model Joey (Keegan), to pay Patrick to take Kat out, by telling him the lovely Bianca will be allowed to date him- Joey. Yeah, Cameron obviously didn't think this one through.....
It's entertaining, but it's just like any other high school movie with a wild party, and a bet going about who can take out some girl. I don't really know why, but for some reason I've been thinking about it lately and wanted to watch it. It's not the cleanest, just so you know.
Was high school really like that?
