Product Description It's, like, Shakespeare, man! This good-natured and likeable update of The Taming of the Shrew takes the basics of Shakespeare's farce about a surly wench and the man who tries to win her and transfers it to modern-day Padua High School. Kat Stratford is a sullen, forbidding riot grrrl who has a blistering word for everyone; her sunny younger sister Bianca is poised for high school stardom. The problem: overprotective and paranoid Papa Stratford won't let Bianca date until boy-hating Kat does, which is to say never. When Bianca's pining suitor Cameron gets wind of this, he hires the mysterious, brooding Patrick Verona to loosen Kat up. Of course, what starts out as a paying gig turns to true love as Patrick discovers that underneath her brittle exterior, Kat is a regular babe. The script, by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, is sitcom-funny with peppy one-liners and lots of smart teenspeak; however, its cleverness and imagination doesn't really extend beyond its characters' Renaissance names and occasional snippets of real Shakespearean dialogue. What makes the movie energetic and winning is the formula that helped make She's All That such a big hit: two high-wattage stars who look great and can really act. Ledger is a hunk of promise with a quick grin and charming Aussie accent, and Stiles mines Kat's bitterness and anger to depths usually unknown in teen films; her recitation of her English class sonnet is funny, heartbreaking, and hopelessly romantic. The imperious Allison Janney nearly steals the film as a no-nonsense guidance counselor secretly writing a trashy romance novel. --Mark EnglehartProduct DescriptionBianca stratford is pretty and popular and facing a big dilemma she has never had a date.
