Summary

10 Things I Hate About You is a modern adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" and is a romantic comedy film starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. In the movie, Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a student who is head-over-heels for a girl named Bianca (Larisa Oleynik), but she is unable to date her due to a rule imposed by her father. She can only date when her older sister, Katarina (Stiles), dates. To facilitate this, Cameron will strike a deal with the lackadaisical rebel, Patrick (Ledger), to get her interest.
