Sinopsis : This modern version of Shakespeare's ``The Taming of the Shrew ni pasal 2 adik beradik yang worlds apart, contradict antara satu dengan yang lain. Katarina Stratford @ Kat is more rebellious, daring and prickly but the class brain. Bianca Stratford ni pulak jenis yang popular and cantik kat sekolah. Disebabkan sikap si Kat ni, dia ni dah jadi macam outcast dan ditakuti in the school sedangkan adik dia cukup famous and digilai jantan-jantan kat sekolah tu.
Bapak dia ni pulak, memang tipikal bapak lah. Jenis yang sama macam 8 Simple Rules(For Dating My Teenage Daughter). Tak bagik anak dara dia sesuka hati nak date or go out Bapak dia buat rule yang membuatkan si Bianca bertambah angin dengan kakak dia. Bapak dia forbid Bianca to date any guy or have a boyfriend melainkan kaka dia ni ada boyfriend terlebih dahulu.
Sorang budak yang baru join sekolah tu, Cameron James (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), ada hati dengan si Bianca ni. But Bianca has been longing to go out on a date with Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan). Mamat pulak the nerdy type of guy. But not nerds macam Revenge of the Nerds. Mamat ni berpakat dengan Bianca untuk mematch-make-kan kakak dia dan dia pun decided to match make Kat with another school’s legend, this outlaw of the school. Someone who is known for a sullen criminal reputation yang diorang fikir can live up to Kat’s standard. Someone by the name of Partick Verona.
And when Patrick doesn’t really seems to be interested, diorang yakinkan si Joey suruh upah Patrick to take Kat out so that Joey can date Bianca. So, bermulalah advanture si Patrick who tries to woo Kat and bumped into troubles along the way?
Does Bianca get her man? Does Cameron get his woman? Does Kat let her guard down long enough to see that Patrick has something to offer? And how did Kat react when she knows that she is the victim of a scheme by her own sisters? Does Patrick’s ego goes down when he finds that he is really in love with Kat.? Itu korang kena lah tengok movie ni sebab kalau bagi spoiler lelebih kang, tak besh pulak kan?
Aku kata : Movie ni interesting tu interesting lah, and charming tu memang charming lah. It’s a teen romantic comedy movie. Well, for me it is. It has all the elements. Maybe this is the typical type of teen romantic comedy type of movie. There’s this awek yang hot, balak yang macho, budak nerd yang minat dengan this babe, this rebellious guy or babe, and lastly, ada prom night where they lived happily ever after. Aku pelik betul lah! Kalau cerita teens macam ni, mesti ada selitkan scene prom night, tak kisah lah waktu awal cerita ke, tengah tengah cerita ke, ataupun akhir cerita. Kalau takde, tak sah, macam cerita Never Been Kissed or She’s All That.
Apa-apa pun, highshcool romance memang something yang very popular sampai kadang-kadang tu diorang gunakan the same storyline aje yang cuma watak aje yg lain. Kita kat belah timur pun tak ketinggalan jugak nak ikut trend ni. Sekarang kan banyak movie yang menjurus pada teenage romance macam Diari Romeo (Sampah!), Sama Tak Serupa (Entah apa apa entah), Gemerlapan (Hampeh!), Gol & Gincu dan yang terbaru is Goodbye Boys (Belum tengok lagi pun!). Indon dah lagi dulu ikut dah. Tak payah aku sebut nama movie apa pun korang dah boleh agak dah pun kan?
At that time, aku suka dengan movie ni sebab Julia Stiles sahaja. Muka dia ni sesuai bawak watak perempuan chocky. Aku suka dengan lakonan dia Save the Last dance and Mona Lisa Smile. Dia ada credibility to be a great actress. That gay cowboy cum Academy Award Nominee takde lah sangat pun. Masa ni pun dia takde lah famous sangat macam sekarang ni. Tapi aku suka dengan watak dia yang rebellious tu.
All in all, I find this movie fun, it doesn’t have any heavy message, storyline is simple and sesuai untuk yang muda-muda macam aku and perasan muda macam Ironboard.
Aku kasi : *** / *****
