Since Amy Heckering's Beverly Hills version of Jane Austin's Emma hit the screens as Clueless Hollywood studios have been falling over themselves to plunder classic literature and remake it in the dubious form of the "high-school comedy". Gil Junger's sparky 10 Things I Hate About You follows the trend to the letter this time taking The Taming Of The Shrew as its inspiration. While many of its predecessors (She's All That for example) have balked at admitting where their inspiration comes from for fear of loosing their intended audience 10 Things.. actively embraces its source right down to its title. The Taming of the Shrew doesn't seem like the first choice for a modern spin after all any play in which the fiercely independent heroine is broken down by a sadistic man who - in a happy ending - turns her into a subservient housewife sounds more like The Stepford Wives than a romantic comedy. However with a few judicious tweaks in the tale (not least of which is an ingenious translation to the nineties American schoolyard) proves that you can't keep a good story down - dubious ending or not. The script is witty dropping references to the play all over the place (all the characters and settings refer back to the original) and the plot works surprisingly well in it's new context. The young enthusiastic cast (mostly anonymous except for Third Rock From The Sun's Joseph Gordon Levitt) are excellent and the whole production reeks of class. ...
