    10 Things I Hate About You

    ★★★★

    It had been years since I'd watched 10 Things I Hate About You, but after a friend posted that he was watching it, I had to give it another view.

    JGL, Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles are all fantastic in this teenage comedy based off of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.

    Though it includes classic "teen movie" tropes like the overly-crowded rowdy high school party, the super protective single father, who's taking me to prom and fall for the…

    Beautiful scenery, gripping performances from great actors, and a perfect story.
