This movie may seem a little familiar if you have read the great William Shakespeare's 'Taming of the Shrew' Which makes it a bit more enjoyable and easy to understand.
The main characters are mostly named after the story's characters, the two sisters being named Katarina and Bianca, just like the story.
This movie is very fun, witty, and includes the best sort of adolescent humor without becoming too raunchy which I appreciate. The star of Taming of the Shrew has been modernized and each character is portrayed in the personality extremes that are seen in any high school, making the characters relate-able.
The older sister Kat is independent and prefers to be her own person, not caring about others who may judge her. All she really wants is her father to allow her to go to far away college, when her father has another closer college in mind. She differs from the 'Taming of' version who is generally sour and reclusive.
Bianca is trying her hardest to please her friends and dress as preppy as she can- she really just wants a 'normal' sister which would make life easier for her. The main debacle of this story is that by their father's requirement, in order for Bianca to be allowed to date, Kat must first have her own boyfriend.
Patrick Verona, played by Heath Ledger, is recruited to convince Kat to date so that Joey (the most popular dude in the school) can be allowed to date Bianca.
At the same time, Cameron is also trying to win Bianca over with the help of Micheal, and Patrick.
If you have read 'Taming of', then the movie can be predictable and if you haven't, then it is still a fun ride.
This movie is creative, fun, and has a great feel to it throughout every scene. Every character is unique and has their own quirks and issues to deal with, making them more like real high school students.
A great movie, fun for anyone over the age of 13 and great to watch with a friend.
I still am not sure where the title becomes present, but I'm sure you'll enjoy "10 Things I Hate About You". I give it an 8/10.

The greatest part of this movie is that you can almost never expect the characters' reactions. Imagine if everyone had visions of sunshine and frivolous joy etched into their brains and acted with the naivety of children. That is exactly how the main characters, Dean and John, behave. They see every situation as glass half-full and they almost always have big goofy smiles on their faces.
The two brothers, Dean and John, have been raised under strange circumstances which gave them a permanently positive outlook.
When the brothers get a call telling them that their father is in critical condition in the hospital they rush (sort of) to see what happened. Moments before the two arrived their father, who had fallen into a coma, his last words before the coma were that he wanted to live long enough to see a grandchild.
Dean and John, currently trying to get themselves into the dating world, are inspired by their father's wish. They dedicate themselves to finding a wya to have a child for their father, in hopes that it will keep him going.
After going through a whole list of possibilities, the two find that they will have to use artificial insemination and a foster mother to have a child for them. They find Janine on Craigslist, she is willing to have the baby for them.
The two are unbelievably eager to have this baby and do all that they can to prepare themselves for parenthood, going to as many extremes as possible along the way.There are a few bumps along the way but by the end of the movie everyone is happy and the unique form of comedy continues until the very end.
This movie does contain strong language but a vast amount of hilarious situations and just the strangest things you'll ever see.
I loved this movie and relate to it to 'Baby Momma' which I can watch countless times. If you are looking for an easy laugh, you'll enjoy this movie.
