 10 Things I Hate About You
comment
10 Things I Hate About You is a 1999 teen romantic comedy film directed by Gil Junger, written by Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith, and starring Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Larisa Oleynik. The film is a modernized and updated High School AU-style take on The Taming of the Shrew, and its plot runs as such:Something is rotten in the house of Stratford. It has come to light that Katerina Stratford, the feminist, intelligent, and well, shrewish elder sister, has received an acceptance letter to a college her overprotective father doesn't want her to go to. Bianca, the bubbly, popular younger sister, got a ride home from a boy today. There's much anger and words are exchanged that cannot be taken back, and from all of this a new rule sprouts forth: Bianca can date when Kat does. This is pretty much the end of it for Bianca, as Kat doesn't really do the whole dating thing, preferring to snark and study. However, when Bianca spills this to Cameron, the new kid in town who has a crush on her and is her French Tutor, he develops a plan: Find someone who'll date Kat. But who?The bad boy in town, of course.Enter Patrick Verona. He's mean, he's tough, and he scares off Cameron when he's approached with the idea. However, Michael, Cameron's new friend(ish), comes up with an idea: get Joey, a popular guy with a crush on Bianca, to cough up money for them to bribe Patrick with. This succeeds, and in the end, Patrick woos Kat by essentially being as cantankerous and stubborn as she is, only more romantic. He ends up asking her to the prom, having been given 300 bucks to do it, and while she doesn't go at first, she eventually accepts. The problem? He's actually really starting to like this girl...10 Things has gained a cult following as a standout among '90s teen films, notably providing breakout roles for Stiles and Ledger and putting them on the map as dramatic actors to watch.The film was also adapted into a sitcom reboot which aired on ABC Family from 2009 to 2010 and starred Lindsey Shaw as Kat, Meaghan Martin as Bianca and Ethan Peck as Patrick.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Kat reluctantly agrees to go to Bogey's party so that Bianca can, even if it means Bianca will likely run into Joey. Kat also agreeing to go to the prom, despite having criticised it repeatedly earlier, so that Bianca can attend. Mr. Stratford sends Sarah Lawrence a check at the end so Kat can attend, even though he initially wanted her to stay close to home. When he tells Kat this, she's so happy she actually hugs him.

Instantly Proven Wrong: When New Transfer Student Cameron met Michael, he commented he was thankful that for once the teachers didn't send down "one of those audio-visual geeks" to show him around on his first day. Michael laughs, at which point a guy carrying a bunch of AV equipment walks to him and asked "Hey Michael, where should I put those slides?"

Chekhov's Gun: The money Joey is paying Patrick to date Kat, and the Fender Strat guitar Kat is seen with in the music store. At the end of the film, Patrick reveals to Kat he used the money to get the guitar for her. Possibly subverted in that it may not be the same guitar, but the idea still stands.

 10 Things I Hate About You / int_26eb6287
comment
Funny Background Event: As Bianca is trying to fire her bow, Joey tries to talk to her. The result is that the arrow misses the target and hits the teacher insteadnote The Coach was kind of asking for it standing in front of the firing line. He was clearly away from the line of fire but Bianca had turned about 60 degrees to her left between Joey's appearance and letting the arrow go. Regardless, that's why the general rule is to stay behind the firing line. Bianca even stops to look before going right back to her conversation. When Coach Chapin is supervising detention several scenes later, he still visibly has trouble sitting down due to his earlier injury.

She Cleans Up Nicely: Kat and Patrick have this effect on one another. Kat in particular wears casual clothes for most of the film (save for donning a strapless top for the concert) but looks positively stunning in a blue prom dress with her hair done and her mother's pearls.

Artists Are Attractive: Patrick starts to fall for Kat, in no small part, because of their similar tastes in music His Apology Gift to her is a specific guitar she's wanted for some time. It proves his sincerity not because of its financial value (though that is also substantial) but because it shows he was listening to her and cared about her desires.

 10 Things I Hate About You / int_6509bb9f
comment
Nonindicative Name: "Ten Things I Hate About You" is catchy, but Kat's poem lists more than ten things. The explanation is some of the items may be listed together. The words "I hate" appear in the poem ten times; the words that follow may be lumped together. Thus "I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind" would be one item.

 10 Things I Hate About You / int_6eeba1f2
comment
"Shut Up" Kiss: Bianca does this to Cameron when he calls her out on her actions at the party (He was technically her date, but she spent more time with Joey only to recognize Joey for what he was. Cameron was being a gentleman by driving her home). Probably the best way to get back in his good graces. Subverted later when Kat finally finds out that Patrick was paid to date her. He tries resorting to this to convince her that he really did love her, but she was too angry and pushed him away. Played straight again at the very end of the movie, after Patrick finally wins Kat back by buying her dream guitar for her.

The Cast Showoff: In-universe. Averted with Cameron, who signs up as Bianca's French tutor in order to get close to her, despite being unable to speak French. In real life, Joseph Gordon-Levitt speaks fluent French.

Establishing Character Moment
 10 Things I Hate About You / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: The movie opens with a perky pop song* Specifically, Barenaked Ladies' "One Week" playing over fun, bouncing credits, as four perky pretty girls roll up to a stop sign in a brightly-coloured sports car... then the pop music is rapidly drowned out by Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation", as a lone, sour-faced young woman rolls up next to them in a beat-up Ford, glaring. Six minutes before we learn her name, five minutes before she ever speaks, and we already know Kat's basic character. Also captured in that wonderful exchange with Miss Perky:

Laser-Guided Karma
 10 Things I Hate About You / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: For parking in the middle of the road, right behind Kat's car to annoy her, Kat delivers instant karma by reversing into Joey's car, denting it. Michael is kicked out of the Ivy League group at Padua for a petty reason by Bogey Lowenstein, so Michael gets his revenge by planning a house party at Bogey's house without Bogey knowing about it. It also has a side effect for the main characters in that it gives Joey, then Cameron, an excuse to get with Bianca. Also, when Bianca finds out about Joey's ultimate aim to have his way with her on prom night, and now knowing about what he did to Kat in the past, she furiously attacks him.

comment
Foreshadowing: Mr Morgan insulting Joey in his class ("Someday you're gonna get bitch-slapped, and I'm not going to do a thing to stop it" and then "Unless she kicked the crap out of your dumb butt, I don't want to hear about it") sets up how Joey will get his ass handed to him by Bianca at the prom. Bianca tells Cameron in their first meeting that Kat used to be popular but an "unsolved mystery" caused her to become cold and antisocial. Bianca later finds out that it was because Kat went out with Joey before and they went all the way, but when Kat told Joey she wasn't ready to do it again, he dumped her. At Bogey's party, when Kat saw Bianca with Joey, Kat tried to get Bianca alone, but Bianca told her to go away. Kat was going to tell Bianca about her past relationship with Joey that she (and the audience) find out about later.

Adaptational Jerkass: All Bianca's suitors in the original had a Friendly Rivalry, and Lucentio (Cameron's counterpart) just convinced his biggest rival that Bianca wasn't worthy of his affections, and he bowed out gracefully when he was outbid. This version has a Jerkass called Joey, who's only out to sleep with Bianca for a bet and dumped Kat when she wouldn't sleep with him a second time.

The Bet: Subverted and, in a way, played straight. Joey is actually just after Bianca because his friends bet him he couldn't sleep with her, but by the time Bianca finds out about this she's already become disenchanted with Joey and realized that Cameron is the better guy. Patrick, while not betting on anything himself, is the one who catches the consequences of the trope when Kat finds out that he was paid to take her out.

Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Subverted with Cameron and Bianca's decidedly unromantic French tutoring sessions, to Cameron's disappointment. It doesn't get any better once they actually start speaking French either, since he's struggling with basic sentence structure, and she's speaking rapid-fire fluent French about how pissed she is that he's not asked her out yet.

Hypocrite: Kat wants to protect Bianca from making her mistakes with boys, but she also want her to make up her own mind, so she won't tell her anything.

 10 Things I Hate About You / int_d99a228f
comment
As Bianca is trying to fire her bow, Joey tries to talk to her. The result is that the arrow misses the target and hits the teacher insteadnote The Coach was kind of asking for it standing in front of the firing line. He was clearly away from the line of fire but Bianca had turned about 60 degrees to her left between Joey's appearance and letting the arrow go. Regardless, that's why the general rule is to stay behind the firing line. Bianca even stops to look before going right back to her conversation.

 10 Things I Hate About You / int_db2f3581
comment
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Subverted. Kat only starts to like Patrick when he's not being a jerk and it's his persistence that wins her over, not his bad boy charms. But played straight with Bianca falling for Joey. That is, until she also subverts it by falling for Cameron.

comment
Token Black Friend: Chastity is seemingly there just as a friend for Bianca to sound board ideas off in the first act. This gets arguably subverted when at Bogey's party, she gets annoyed with Bianca pawning her off on Cameron and hooks up with Joey in retaliation. Joey has a black friend who exists only to listen to his evil plans and gets minimal lines or characterization.

Worst Aid: Patrick thinks Kat might have a concussion, so he tries to stop her from falling asleep - which is a complete myth. As long as the person isn't displaying any difficulties holding a conversation or walking, or displaying symptoms like dilated pupils, sleep is actually good to help the brain rest

Reconstruction: Has some elements of this with regards to the teen comedy. Kat's anti-social behavior stems from past high school drama and Bianca has a Heel Realization with her It's All About Me attitude.

Calling the Old Man Out: Mr. Stratford, being an Boyfriend-Blocking Dad, gets three small ones, one from Kat and two from Bianca, where Kat lays into him for not letting her attend Sarah Lawrence and to stop trying to control her life because he can't seem to control his, and Bianca even calls him severely unhinged when he won't allow her to attend the prom if Kat isn't going.

Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful!: Bianca believes she can manipulate Cameron's feelings for her based on this. When he finds out, Cameron disagrees. Joey feels that, as the most handsome man on campus, he can have any woman he wants and be damned her feelings on the matter.

Exact Words: Kat tells Joey to stay away from Bianca during the party scene. Joey responds with this: "Oh, I'll stay away from your sister. But I can't guarantee she'll stay away from me." Sure enough, Bianca runs into Joey, but she soon sees Kat's point about him.

Groin Attack: Bianca to Joey after finding out he placed a bet to nail her on prom night. And the audience cheers. A Noodle Incident equivalent happens in Kat's backstory. ("I still maintain that he kicked himself in the balls.") When Michael is on his bike and accidentally goes tumbling down a hill, he shouts "My balls!" during one of the bounces.

High-School Dance: Patrick needs to convince Kat to go with him to prom so that Bianca can also attend. Kat finds it an outdated and misogynist event, and her father (a gyno) views it as a prelude to an orgy.

Smoking Is Not Cool: Kat certainly thinks so, and according to Bianca she once said she would rather die before dating a guy who smoked. Patrick gives up to try and appeal to her. She walks away from him after the paint-balling session when he lights up (she also takes the cigarette from his mouth).
