Entrapment

Kate | 1:52 p.m. April 4, 1999

Liked it--a very honest and real depiction of high school
life. Although the script struggled in places, it was sharp
and fresh in others. You'll have a much greater
appreciation for it if you've read "Taming of the Shrew."

You need a brain | 1:56 a.m. April 7, 1999

If I had no brain, no social life, no skills at anything, no friends, and was still a virgine I could be a Deseret news "critic" Like Jeff Vice.

P.S. The movie Kicks A

My review is that Chris Hicks is a giant nitwit! Almost
every review that I read was utter nonsense. As a prime
example, what kind of moron uses the phrase "wickedly funny"
to describe Grand Canyon, one of the worst movies of all
time?!?! It was the antithesis of funny - I almost cut my
own wrists before walking out of the theater halfway through
the movie. And, compunding the nonsense, he gave a zero
rating to Dumb and Dumber, which was truly hilarious! Get
rid of Hicks - even Roger Ebert in his present condition is
more talented!!!

it was really good and i liked joseph gordon levitt in it
he was h o t hot

Rory | 1:40 a.m. June 26, 1999

It was great,some language and sexual implications, but the
interplay between Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger ( former
'Roar' star)was shockingly good. The script is fantastic,
and wonderfully executed. I want to see It again.

danielle brennan | 7:43 a.m. June 26, 1999

I loved this movie.I gave it four stars because it was like
SHE'S ALL THAT.I already saw that mantn times.Though I did
this movie 3 times so far.When it cames out on vidoe I plan
to buy

Ladybug | 8:05 a.m. June 28, 1999

This was an awesome movie! I loved it!!!!! Patrick(Heath
Ledger) is such a hottie! The movie was great and I saw it
like 12 times!!!!!!!!!

Liz Dixon | 4:16 a.m. July 1, 1999

Oldies love the goldies...thats why this movie has nothing
above 3 stars. I saw this movie and as a teen I loved it as
all teens probibly would (as long as they dont live under a
rock) so for the girls there is Heath Ledger and for the
guys there is Larisa so...all teens see it and oldies if ya
cant laugh it out stay out.

SUMBODY | 8:51 p.m. July 31, 1999

Pretty good movie. It shows the "common 90s life". Theres
really no more u can say about it. Nothing "special" about
it

Angie | 11:32 p.m. Aug. 1, 1999

I actaully liked this movie.. I thought I wasnt gonna like it but I did.. I liked Kat and I thought the girl who played her was quite awesome.. the dude who liked her was fine and I thought it was awesome he bought her a sweet ass guitar.. he can buy me a bass any day.. he he.. well.. thats it.. the only thing that made me mad was her sister Bianca.. she got on my nerves. than again I hate trendies so yeah

Eliza Lennox | 8:00 p.m. Aug. 8, 1999

10 things I hate about you! what can I say? it's the best
thing to hit the screens this century. Even the perv factor
was worth the money. But to see heath Ledger's smile, that
was something else altogether. Kat Stradford is the typical
teenage bitch, with an underlying secret about why she acts
the way she does. Bianca, her sister is also her complete
opposite. She is a sweet, but deep, person who wins the
heart of the new kid in town (Joseph Gordon Levitt) and is
almost taken advantage of by the one person Kat hates most
in the world (Andrew Keagan). But, don't worry, it's not a
lovey-dovey chick-flick! Throughout the show Kat and
Bianca's dad and many other crazy characters (such as the
school counsillor) keep you in absolute histerics, with
Regenald's quivering member! If Heath Ledger doesn't win
your heart with his good-looks and his smile, as soon as he
"sacrifices himself on the alter of dignity" and sings to
Kat (unless your a guy, or blind) you will melt. Once they
get to the prom however, all hell breaks loose and Bianca
let's loose completly humiliating Andrew Keagan's character.
Imust admit however that I am gealous of her amazing
punching ability. I fell in Love with the whole movie
(except Bianca's prom dress - what a night-mare, yuk. I'm
sure you'll love it too.

quency | 6:21 a.m. Aug. 11, 1999

movie very much.Like the way Heath and Julia styles acted.
Yeah, i would say. It's a must-see film.Like the poem a lot,
Also how sweet the character of Patrick Verona.

Brad Bowen | 12:04 p.m. Aug. 11, 1999

I thought that 10 Things I Hate About You was a very good
movie and extreemly funny.

Lim Chan Yee (Brenda) | 4:42 a.m. Aug. 23, 1999

her,her bf-cameron. he look like bianca's brother!(hha)
mandella!preety!kewl!She is madly obsessed with a man named
Shakespeare.michael! nuting 2 say bout him
hheeh anyway I HATE JOEY!

Victoria and Davina | 8:58 a.m. Aug. 24, 1999

We beleive that 10 Things I Hate About You is the best
movie created in the whole entire existance of the world
Heath Ledger in our profound opinion is a 100% babe

Victoria and Davina again | 9:17 a.m. Aug. 24, 1999

We loved this movie so much we can't stop writting about
it. It was truley scalastic and an absolute work of GENIUS.
We thought that we were the only people that actualy
watched the New Zealands series 'ROAR' WHICH THE GORGEOUS
BABE HEATH LEDGER was in. We hope to GOD that it re~appears
on T.V soon.WE THINK THE MOVIE IS AN 11 OUT OF 10!!!!!!!
We are so jeleous of Kat she got to co~star with Heath...COW
We loved the sound track.

Write in to the comments if you have seen 'ROAR'.
There was an episode where Heath got his kit of...YUMMY!!!!!

Rachel Lee | 5:17 p.m. Aug. 24, 1999

I thought that this was a cute movie. It could have done
without all the sex talk though. I think that the movie
could have stood on it's own without all that.

C.G. Deering | 9:43 a.m. Nov. 8, 1999

I thought it was a great movie. In school, especially in
high school, so many people do things just because
everybody else is doing it. Only a grown up would say it's
a 2 star movie. It was funny and probably the best part
was that Heath (Pat in the movie) is such a Hotti!!!

Chris Ramme | 8:58 p.m. Jan. 12, 2000

10 THINGS I HATE ABOT YOU,
I REALY THINK YOUR MOVIE WAS GREAT,I
ESPECIALY FOR THE YOUTH, FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY REALLY I

YOU WANT TO DO A PART 2. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
SINCERELY,
CHRIS RAMME.

First things first, Let's talk about the reviews this movie
has already seen. It has been getting decidedly mixed
reviews between adult and youth audiences. The gen-x and
youth crowd seems to love it, while the adult crowd gives
it decent, but not sparkling reviews. Here's a news flash:
The movie is made for the younger crowd. Think of it as a
way to make shakespeare relevant to us. Sure there was
music (gasp) Sure there were a few cheesy jokes (oh no)
Sure it may be a bit vulgar. Who really cares. This movie
should be used as a tool for high school literature
teachers. Imagine a class that has to drudge through
taming of the shrew for a month. Can you see the morale of
this classroom? Now, imagine showing this movie at the
beginning of the play . . before they start reading it.
And then using the film to segue into the play, explaining
the whole way through not how the movie relates to the
play, but how the play relates to the movie. This will
keep the class interested in shakespeare, because they see
the words of Shakespeare in their texts, while thinking of
the actions of the cast in the film. Relevant lessons are
a wonderful thing. In essence, the students will learn
shakespeare, while studying and enjoying a wonderful flik.

PS: Julia Stiles . . will you marry me?

CASEY | 9:28 a.m. Jan. 21, 2000

I THINK THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY THE GUY THAT
PLAYS CAMERON!! I THINK HE IS SO HOTT!!!

Brian Leddick | 6:55 p.m. Feb. 4, 2000

I think that "Ten things I hate about you" is the best
movie
in the whole wide world, I watch it everyday, and listen to
the soundtract in my car, school, and just about everywhere
else that I can. I think that Kat (Julia Stiles) has the
coolest attitude and I base my everyday life on her
character. She is also a terrific actor and I am dieing to
see her new movie with Freddie Prince Jr. Down to You. I
wish they would only have a sequal to "Ten things i hate
about you". Enjoy the movie, I know you will like it as
much as I did!

Cristal | 11:58 p.m. Feb. 17, 2000

10 Things I Hate About You certainly had the potential to
be a good movie but unfortunately, because of the amount of
secondary characters, they sometimes became sidetracked.

Joseph Gorden-Levitt(3rd Rock from the Sun) and Heath Ledger
(TVs Roar) star in this unoriginal yuppy teen comedy.
Joseph as Cameron, is a transfer student who has a problem.
On the first day at school he falls in love with Bianca
Stratford, the most popular freshman there. The only
problem is she isnt allowed to date.......until her older
sister Katarina does! No problem, right. Well Biancas
sister Kat is a feminist who is more or less against
dating. What a crisis, right. Well Cameron fixes that and
soon comes up with a crazy scheme that involves a lot of
money, a nerdy friend and a stuck up, sex obsessed pretty
boy who wants to go out with Bianca too! put all this
together and in a paranoid farther who worries too much
about his daughters getting pregnant, and what youve got is
a sickly-sweet teen comedy. Watch it and Clueless comes to
mind.

Matt Movies | 8:12 a.m. April 29, 2000

Not a bad effort for a low budget, teeny bopper flic. That
little brunette that Freddie Prinze jnr try's to chat up is
cute.

Guilherme Mira Godinho | 5:45 p.m. May 20, 2000

I Thing this movie is beautifull, just as beautifull as
Larisa Oleynik (Bianca). "10 Things I Hate About You" shows
every problems that us, teens, have to face day after day
not only in schhol, but in all our lifes, and gives us
solutions to solve that problems, and hope to reach what
everyone really wants.... HAPINESS!

Meghan | 12:58 a.m. July 14, 2000

I LOVED this movie!! I saw it for the first time about 1
month ago on HBO or Starz and I fell in love with it! It
rulz! And so does Heath and Joseph! :)

Amanda & Heidi | 12:11 a.m. July 13, 2001

We think this movie is great! It could've done without the
sex talk, but it's still pretty good. We enjoyed how Heath
started to fall in love with Kat. That's so sweet. We just
wish that we were in Kat's place. Heath + Ledger = BABE!
