Summary
From the mid-90s to the early aughts, there were a slew of contemporary retellings of some of Shakespeare's better known plays. 10 Things I Hate About You, a lighthearted spin on The Taming of the Shrew, remains one of the more beloved. It ditches most of the source material's problematic elements, but we're not sure it ever completely overcomes them.
It doesn't matter, though. There's a lot about this movie that all three of us are willing to forgive because of how much it gets right. From the inspired casting choices to its cheeky sense of humor, this is a film that manages to completely transcend its shortcomings.
Topics include: the elements of the play that the movie wisely ignores, how it still gets a little tripped up by what's left, the amazing cast of supporting characters, the TV series it inspired, the "spiritual sequel" that never got off the ground, the one subplot none of us could get on board with, a shockingly abrupt resolution, and much much more!

| 0:53.0 | Yeah. I'm Carlos. And today we're revisiting 10 Things I Hate About You. I burn, I pine, I perish. professes young Cameron James as he wistfully watches Bianca Stratford from across their high school quad. |
| 1:02.0 | But even if he could get her to notice him, there would still be two major obstacles standing in Cameron's way. |
| 1:07.2 | The first is that Bianca's overbearing father has a very strict rule about his daughter's social |
| 1:11.9 | life. She can't date unless her older sister Kat does as well, which highlights the second |
| 1:17.2 | obstacle. Cat. Her abrasive attitude, outspoken nature, and fiery temper have earned her the |
| 1:22.8 | nickname the Shrew. She has little use for this town or her classmates, and she's counting the days |
| 1:27.9 | until she can leave them both far behind. Until then, however, finding someone who's brave |
| 1:32.8 | enough to pursue her remains Cameron's only chance at getting close to the girl of his dreams. |

| 1:45.0 | Screenwriters Karen McCullough Lutz and Kristen Smith wisely sidestep some of the plays more |
| 1:49.5 | misogynistic and problematic underpinnings, and in general, it's best not to overthink |
| 1:54.7 | any of the plot mechanics that set this particular story in motion. Because the truth is, even the |
| 2:00.1 | film itself seems to treat all of that |
| 2:01.8 | set up as a formality. It's a lot more interested in getting all of these characters together, |
