4/5Okay, for starters I'm not gay, (even though I have much respect for them). But this film is one that I would watch regardless of sexual orientation. Oh, wait, this isn't Brokeback Mountain! This is "10 ThingsI Hate About You", a old high school comedy/drama. How do I know it's old: the Barenaked Ladies do a song in it. All the stars in this movie, Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, play their parts perfectly. Its almost amazing to watch Ledger, especially after watching such movie as, say...The Dark Knight, Brokeback Mountain, to name but a few. The movie is light, fun to watch, and a perfect modern day adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew(at least they didn't fuck up like on Romeo+Juliet). There is really no moral in this movie, the music is perfect 90s sounds(pay note to all the Riot Grrrl music in the movie). Bottem line, its a comedy, a great movie, and the first real Heath Ledger movie. If you truly are a Heath fan, then you won't wanna miss this movie. Oh, on a sidenote, Joseph Gordon-Levett, star of "(500) Days of Summer", also appears. Need I say more.
