10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
Heath Ledger was a beautiful, beautiful man. Those eyes, that smile… so hot, and 10 Things I Hate About You really gives us the chance to see that beauty in full effect. Plus, we also have Andrew Keegan who is also too adorable for words. Add to that great comedy and mix in a bit of drama, and the result is a winning chick flick.
Based on Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, Ten Things I Hate About You keeps the feel of the play while being contemporary and fun. Even though it came out ten years ago, it doesn’t feel dated or out of place with today’s romantic comedies.
Heath and Julia Stiles have great chemistry and it’s not hard to identify with Julia’s character, Kat. She doesn’t want to fit in. She wants to do her own thing and when we find out why it’s easy to sympathize with her as, let’s admit it ladies, a lot of us have been there.
