10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.
On the first day at his new school, Cameron instantly falls for Bianca, the gorgeous girl of his dreams. The only problem is that Bianca is forbidden to date until her ill-tempered, completely un-dateable older sister Kat goes out, too. In an attempt to solve his problem, Cameron singles out the only guy who could possibly be a match for Kat: a mysterious bad boy with a nasty reputation of his own.

What kind of watch this is
Gil Junger’s 1999 adaptation runs 97 minutes. It pairs the quiet frustration of a new arrival with the loud, cynical energy of a sister who refuses to be tamed. The dynamic hinges on a specific obstacle: the older sister must date before the younger one is allowed to. Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles bring a sharp, biting chemistry to the central pair, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt navigates the awkwardness of the scheme. The film trades on the tension between polite desire and blunt rejection. It is a study in how much patience a person can muster when the only path to what they want is blocked by someone who refuses to play along.
What the critics said
Critics landed on a warm, if slightly hesitant, approval. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 71% as of August 2024, while Metacritic gives it a 70 out of 100, which the site files under generally favorable. The consensus notes that strong performances lift the film above typical teen fare. Geoff Andrew of Time Out found the leads effortlessly charming, while Brad Laidman of Film Threat called the execution perfect. Roger Ebert liked the spirit and music but felt the tired story formula kept the plane on the ground. It’s a solid B+.
How it did with audiences
A $13 million budget against a $53 million worldwide gross is a solid return, though the math gets interesting when you break it down. The film pulled in $38 million domestically, with $8.3 million of that landing in its opening weekend behind The Matrix. It finished second that weekend. On TMDB, users rate it 7.6 out of 10. Audiences voted with their wallets, and the critics just nodded along.
What came next for the cast
Joseph Gordon-Levitt went from playing a dog in Beethoven to bending time in Inception. That is a significant shift in career trajectory. Julia Stiles moved from The Devil's Own to the Bourne franchise. Larisa Oleynik traded a sitcom guest spot for recurring roles on Mad Men and Hawaii Five-0. The credits list what followed, but they do not prove this film caused it. Sometimes a single year just opens a door.
