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.

Encyclopedic overview

10 Things I Hate About You is a 1999 American teen romantic comedy directed by Gil Junger in his directorial debut and starring Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Oleynik, Larry Miller, Andrew Keegan, David Krumholtz, Susan May Pratt, and Gabrielle Union. The screenplay was written by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, taking inspiration from William Shakespeare's comedy The Taming of the Shrew, retold in a late-1990s American high school setting.

Shot in the Seattle metropolitan area, with many scenes filmed at Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington, the film follows new student Cameron James, who is smitten with Bianca Stratford and creates a scheme in which bad boy Patrick Verona dates her asocial sister Kat in order to circumvent her father's strict rules on dating.
