How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.
On the first day at his new school, Cameron instantly falls for Bianca, the gorgeous girl of his dreams. The only problem is that Bianca is forbidden to date until her ill-tempered, completely un-dateable older sister Kat goes out, too. In an attempt to solve his problem, Cameron singles out the only guy who could possibly be a match for Kat: a mysterious bad boy with a nasty reputation of his own.

"Cameron" (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a bit keen on "Bianca" (Larisa Oleynik) but she has eyes on the wealthy school Lothario "Joey" (Andrew Keegan). Regardless of who likes who, though, her dad won't allow her out of the house, socially, unless her independently-minded and rather stand-offish sister "Kat" (Julia Stiles) goes too. She's no intentions of playing any games of conformity, though, so it's a stale mate! Hormones drive ingenuity and swiftly "Cameron" and his pal "Michael" (David Krumholtz) come up with a plan to hook up "Kat" with "Patrick" (Heath Ledger). He hasn't much interest in the school or it's traditions either, so he might just be for her. Their cunning plan needs a backer, so they alight on the dim "Joey" to fund the operation so he can get a date with "Bianca". What a complex web we have weaved - and of course it's only a matter of time and tequila before we are set on the, rather predictable, bumpy course of true love. It is all standard fayre that leads to an obvious, slightly too sentimental, conclusion, but along the way there is a great soundtrack - Joan Armatrading sounds great with big screen sound - and plenty of humour too. Some of that is a bit crass,

Not for nothing this was my favorite movie when I was in my straight era. Literally nothing bad can be said about it. Kat is perfect (and would've been even more so if she was a KD Lang fan), and so is that poem delivery. Patrick was the original performative male.

Very funny movie. I like the late 90's and early 2000's quirky romance comedies. It's always funny to have embarrassing things happen to you, when your trying to impress a girl.
