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.

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
Smartly written, lofted into orbit by a heads-up ensemble performance, it's bursting with new talent on both sides of the camera. Go to Full Review

For the most part, the cast sells it (Ledger is a clear highlight), while the conclusion is pleasant and the teen romance effectively cute. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Bennett M @BennettM. 3 days ago I fell asleep twice See more Kai B @RT01555764 3 days ago I loved this movie so much! Its fun, entertaining, and just downright crazy at times. I loved Health Ledger (rest in peace) and I didn't know who he was until I watched this movie! If your bored one day and don't know what to watch, WATCH THIS See more Jake F @jake222 Oct 15, 2026 It's a teen s.x comedy so don't expect anything else, but it's definitely one of the best ever made. It's smart, fast and even funny. The characters are nuanced, yet stereotypical. It must've been written by English majors since it has a lot of advanced English and witty remarks to put each other down, and it works very well. See more Maxsuel S @Maxine191 Oct 6, 2026 Foi uma experiência muito boa para mim. A história passou muito rápido para mim do tanto que fiquei concentrado assistindo,gostei da dinâmica dos personagens principalmente por mostrarem que até os mais opostos podem se atrair,Kat foi minha personagem favorita,por mostrar força contra as opiniões alheias,sendo uma ótima inspiração,e a trilha sonora foi um dos maiores destaques. Um romance que recomendo, mesmo não estando entre meus favoritos. See more Mary E @bbrokeback9 Oct 4, 2026 As a current gen z high school student, it falls flat. Not one character perks your interest or is really likable at all, no one learns anything. Also, highschool is NOT like that, not just for me but really anyone other then like 3%.. We are not all drinking, partying and having s*x with random people..putting two stars because I wouldve had SOMEWHAT potential as a collage movie. See more Valeria R @LavenderValerian Sep 24, 2026 Fun movie you need something to put on because your having a bad day this is the film. Your planning a movie night with the friends this is the movie. See more Read all reviews
