10 Things I Hate About You (1999): Back to School

August 17, 2018

This is the best teen film of all time, fight me. This is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, which was a weird thing that happened in the 90s... Classic literature was adapted into teen films... Some ending HORRIBLY (i.e., Cruel Intentions, the worst teen film of all time) and some ending wonderfully, like this. This film follows Kat Stratford, a feminist teen with a popular girly sister, Bianca. The sisters are not allowed to date, but Bianca is pursued by many suitors. Their father makes a deal with them... Bianca can date when Kat decides to. Cameron, a boy who is pining after Bianca hires Patrick Verona to woo Kat so he can take Bianca out. Kat and Patrick unexpectedly begin to develop feelings for each other, making things a little more complicated. This film is set at a high school so it makes for a great back to school watch. It will get you ready to read some classic lit and fall for the school bad boy... what's more back to school than that?
