As satirical as it is romantic, this is one teen film that is wise enough to span generations in its appeal.

Reviews for 10 Things I Hate About You
Top CriticGil Junger's TV roots are revealed in his excessive reliance on close-ups and the cast's preponderance of TV actors.

It sounds awful, but Junger's movie is utterly winning.
07/06/08
It's a fast-food film, easy to digest, but nothing remarkable or memorable.
01/01/00
Pure of heart and perfectly executed.

What raises this venture a few notches above your normal acne fare is an extremely clever screenplay
05/14/01
Unfortunately, much of this potentially good material is paced like a bad sitcom.
01/01/00
It includes some genuinely funny moments, solid performances from its too-old-to-be-in-high-school cast, and respect for its likely pre-teen audience.

At times the pic doesn't even seem certain which decade it's set in; the squeaky-clean high school environs often feel more '80s than '90s.

Top CriticA routine exercise in teen-targeted silliness.

This production, these situations and characters, are to Shakespeare what advertising is to truth.

I doubt I would be able to find ten things I hate about 10 Things I Hate About You, but the positive aspects of the film far out-number ten.
01/01/00
Despite a tinny script, the cast puts in fine performances in what is a very unfunny movie. But the praise stops there.
01/01/00
Lame scenes are made nifty by the movie's endless energy.
01/01/00
A zippy high school comedy.
