`10 things' is upbeat, funny `10 Things I Hate About Youl...

By Dustin Pyeatt Stammer

Have you ever wanted to date someone, only to find out they don't like you? But to date that person you would do anything, even bribe a scary Australian to date their sister? If so, then "10 Things I Hate About You" (Touchstone), is just the movie for you.

The title aside, this movie is very likable. "10 Things," boasts a plot that is loosely based on Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew."

Cameron, played by JosephGordon Levitt of "3rd Rock from the Sun," falls in love with the beautiful and popular Bianca, who barley notices him.

But this isn't Cameron's big problem. It seems that Bianca's father won't let her date unless her sister, Kat, the aforementioned shrew, finds a beau of her own.

Cameron and his geeky, prep friend Michael hatch a plan to find Kat a mate, and thus open the door to the wooing of the fair Bianca. They dupe the rich, pretty boy Joey into paying the school tough guy, Patrick, to ask Kat out.

What follows is a nice love story between Kat and Patrick, who both turn out to be big softies under their tough exteriors.

The story line between Cameron and Bianca takes a back seat to this and the coming together of the two sisters. "10 Things" won't win any awards, but by the "She's All That" standard, it's not bad. The script is tightly written and doesn't drag. The majority of the characters are not very well developed, but they are not walking clichés either. "10 Things" also sports cameos from the bands Letter To Cleo, and Save Ferris.

The only adult characters in the movie are very unrealistic, but funny regardless. "10 Things" also has a nice site on the web at www.movies.go.com/lOthings/ . The site, which is a fake site for the fake Padua High School featured in the movie, has character bio's and online polls. It also has fake advertisements for the fake clubs and businesses featured in the movie.

Like the movie itself, it's cute. "10 Things" is a great date movie. It's upbeat, funny and has a decent soundtrack. If your not bothered by teen flicks, then check it out. ARIES The ram. You will find a bellypierced girl.Buy her pizza and she will give you a kiss.
