A neat updating of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, 10 Things I Hate about You isn't particularly revolutionary but it succeeds thanks to a great cast and enough good jokes and romantic moments to satisfy all. Heath Ledger excels in his first film role, as does Julia Stiles and a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and they're given the requisite moments to show off their comedic chops as well as their acting abilities. Particularly, Heath Ledger's singing serenade to Stiles on the football field is a stand out scene. Not a film that will rock your world, but it's funny enough, cute and sweet enough, and clever enough to entertain. Very enjoyable
