    • Trivia
      The scene in which Kat reads the "10 Things" poem was the first and only take, according to the DVD extras. Kat's tears towards the end of the poem were real and not planned.
    • Goofs
      When Bianca takes Cameron to Kat's room, she opens the third drawer. In the next shot, it's the second drawer that's opened.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Morgan: All right... I assume everyone's found time to complete their poem... except... for Mr. Donner.

      [starts laughing]

      Mr. Morgan: Who has an excuse

      [laughs even harder, then stops]

      Mr. Morgan: . Shaft! Lose the glasses.

      [Joey removes his sunglasses, revealing his bruised nose from his earlier confrontation with Bianca]

      Mr. Morgan: All right... anyone brave enough to read theirs aloud?

      [Everyone looks at each other, waiting to see who goes first, Kat finally raises her hand]

      Kat Stratford: I will.

      Mr. Morgan: [rolls his eyes and sighs] Lord, here we go.

      Kat Stratford: I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme.

      [sighs]

      Kat Stratford: I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.

      [Kat's voice breaks and she looks at Patrick]

      Kat Stratford: I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.

      [starts to cry]

      Kat Stratford: But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

      [Kat walks out the classroom]

    • Crazy credits
      During the credits there are practical jokes made by cast and crew and also goofs - including scenes that didn't make the final cut.
    • Alternate versions
      The first UK releases were cut by 1 second to achieve a "12" rating and removed a brief shot of a butterfly knife being flipped open. The cut was waived for the 2010 DVD.

    One of the best teen movies of all time...
    I can't say enough good things about this movie. I do remember the first time I saw it, coming away thinking that I wanted to be just like Julia Stiles' character in it, though. She was so cool and did such an excellent job in her role, that still to this day I consider her to be the coolest teen in any 'teen movie'.

    Basic Plot: Cameron (Levitt), a new student at Pagua high school, falls in love with a sophomore named Bianca Stradford (Oleynik).

    However, Bianca has a flirtatious crush on the most popular senior at school named, Joey (Keegan). Cameron's sidekick Michael (Krumholtz)tells him, that Bianca is looking for someone to help her with French and Cameron decides that's how he'll ask her out on a date.

    Kat Stradford (Stiles) is Bianca's sister. Totally opposite of Bianca, she is anti-social and is the most feminist high school senior you could ever meet. Against boys, dances, and anything having to do with prepiness and silly fun, she swears off dating and finds herself being accepted to Sarah Lawrence a college across the country in hopes to get away from her father and the city she lives in.

    Bianca desperately wanting to date, is told by her father (Miller) that she will be allowed to date when her sister Kat does. Desperate and not knowing how to get her sister to 'date for her', ends up asking Cameron, her new French tutor, to help her with her predicament. Enter Patrick (Ledger). An outcast and rumored to have sold his kidneys on the black market for a new set of speakers, also attends Padgua high, and is unsuspecting of what will happen soon in his future.

    Cameron and Micheal decide that in order to make this work, they need a backer. "Someone who's stupid, but has money." So they go to Joey, telling him that they know he likes Bianca, and they need him to pay Patrick a tidy sum, to have him date Kat, in order for him to date Bianca. What Joey doesn't know, is that Cameron secretly plans to date Bianca, while he pays Patrick to take out Kat.

    It may sound like a very confusing movie. But it is so funny, cleverly written, and not entirely true of American teenage culture, but pretty close. The acting is wonderful and in my opinion nothing in the movie would have worked as well, without the people who played their characters. As I said before I think that Stiles' portration of Kat Stradford was right on, and no one could have done it better. Her best role, more than certainly, and I love this movie so much! I would have to say it's my favorite teen comedy next to The Breakfast Club. One the best movies, and a great watch!

    I give it a 10 out of 10. Go rent it, or better yet go buy it! You won't regret it!
