my mom has been on my ass since i was like 20 about me finding THE one so she could have grand kids when i was 31 i gave her a first grandkitten XD my lil sis is 29 now and after 4 grandkitties mom is getting a human grandchild in july (my sis has been trying since she got married)
It's funny people say this and my mother told me that I should never ever EVER have children because then she won't have to be a grandmother. She said this to my face as I have been married for almost 4 years and desperately wish we were in a position to have children.
Well my mum is yelling at me saying like ''You can't even support yourself, i literally have to buy you food, don't even think about coming home pregnant right now''...
Dude I have I said that a lot, it's like wtf. I can't jump into marriage after not dating! What do you want from your kids, making babies with a stranger?
the way this movie brings me joy is uncanny. like i can absolutely see the flaws and how it doesn't pass every standard today, but also i will quote every line, laugh at all the jokes and admire the directing/acting/editing, it is one of my all time faves no doubt
I think there's a difference between being mad that a girl doesn't like you and taking that out on her, and being mad that a girl uses you and you get mad and rant at her about it. Bianca was using Joseph Gordon Levitt's character. I don't think that's very "nice guy"esque, in the way I think you mean.
I can see it both ways! I think the phrase that made me think it was a little "nice guy"-esque was when he said "I learned French for you". Because she was probably looking for a French tutor at the beginning and he took that chance to get close to her, and then he uses that as an excuse later on--like she didn't ask you to learn French for her lol. Other than that, yeah I understand being mad about being used, just something about that one line rubbed me the wrong way

I agree with you on the ending critique concerning Julia Stiles character forgiving Heath Ledger rather quickly, but if we look at it as a sign of character development, it makes somewhat sense. Stiles character has softened somewhat due to not only her budding romance but through growing closer to her sister and dad. She may choose to forgive because she no longer views things as black and white anymore. She herself thought she was doing the right thing by preventing her younger sister from dating. Also I think a portion of her righteousness in the movie is a defense mechanism as she states in the peddle boat to Heath right before the paintball scene. Therefore she is being more vulnerable by forgiving and actually showing character development. She's not as afraid of getting hurt as she was in the beginning.
Yep it was about character development as well as adding depth to her character. She isn’t just a strong independent girl, she has layers like all human beings. There’s a reason to why she was the way she was. She was hurt before so she just put up defense mechanisms to not let people in. But once she softened, her relationships with her dad, sister, and him all changed. And I agree I think it’s why she chose to forgive him rather than just seeing things all in black and white. Black and white thinking isn’t good to begin with, it was well needed for her to grow as a character.
Kat gave major "Not like other girls" girl vibes LOL. I mean, why the hate on prom? Ripping the posters that costed money and time to make and place. It's ok to not think like most people, but she tries too hard to show it, maybe thinking that she's superior bc of that. But again, everything is exaggerated in this movie so, not a big deal.
@@SophiaPhannn I mean, she's still pretty young, so... she's not yet mature enough to be comfortable allowing others to be themselves. You can rip on her for it because it's hypocritical, or you can allow that she's lashing out at those... whatever, she's lashing out at the institutions that represent this expectation of her that is unfair to her, the stereotype (?) that she's expected to fit that is too small for her. And yeah, those who don't reject those institutions are getting hit in the crossfire (there's a better word/phrase, but I just can't think of it; I think you get my point though), and she's not right, but you forgive her because you see where she's coming from.
The "not like other girls" mentality, though, exists when a woman puts down other women for the sake of male attention. Kat doesn't perform to appeal to men--she doesn't perform for anybody. That's the point of her character. I understand how the juxtaposition of Kat with Bianca, and even Kat with the girls in the other car at the beginning, can come off as similar to the "not like other girls" trope, but the basis of Kat's disapproval of "other girls" is their performativity. She's a baby feminist who wants permission to reject traditional femininity without realizing that some women can enjoy and choose to embrace their femininity.
I have 3 movies that have set my standards for guys too high: this movie, Anastasia and Pride and Prejudice. And that's why I will remain single hahahahah

It actually is a real high school in Tacoma, WA! It was built on an uncompleted luxury resort from like the 1800s at what was supposed to be the end of some rail road line that never got completed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadium_High_School
As someone who went to highschool in the early 00's, it was Absolutely like this with the cliques. Same for my brothers in the 80's and 90's. You had the jocks and even they were segregated: football, basketball, etc. The artsy kids, the theatre kids, the popular (aka the rich) kids, the nerds/geeks (aka the smart kids), etc. I was put into the artsy and nerd categories because i am an artist and was always top of my class. And the lunch tables were absolutely segregated. Idk how school is now, but you didn't sit with others outside your clique. And if you did, people gave you dirty looks.
@@becci7288 you Gen Z'ers and your fantasies. It was NOT fun. Unless you call getting made fun of for your looks until you were so stressed out and crying everyday that suicide seemed like a legit option. Or getting shoved/rammed into lockers, tripped, etc. And you were shunned if you even tried to sit at a table other than with your clique. Also, after Columbine, people treated the nerdy/quiet kids even worse because they wanted to beat us down so we wouldn't "go all Columbine" on the whole school. But of course that would only make things worse. AND for anyone in the LGBTQ community, you couldn't have been out in the open because you would be ridiculed to hell and back. Absolutely no freedom to be yourself.
SAME girl, I would be soooo uncomfortable with a big over the top display. Like I’d probably smile politely while it was happening (if I knew it was coming from a good innocent place), but I would have so much anxiety LoL.
loooove this movie. also I've always thought there should be an extra half hour after the poem scene so that we could see them talk it out for a bit?? and I was born and grew up in Tacoma, WA, 20 mins from where Stadium high school is and it is indeed that beautiful and the view is insane.
cameron is so innocent XD patrick was asking where on him bianca kissed not where they were when she did legit i'd respond the same til i saw by his face that's not what he meant then i'd be like oh my bad on the lips
I saw this movie probably too young lol, but I remember loving it. It's interesting to see it now in my 30s. I was sheltered so seeing this was wild to me. Nostalgia fr.
23:46 True, but in my opinion, in some ways, the mark of strength can also be identified if you're strong enough to listen and to give forgiveness. Resistance of what we don't like isn't always a mark of strength, in some ways, it can be a mark of weakness. But of course, it's all depending on the situation.
okay but, I kinda wish there was a sequel and it could've called 10 Things I Love About You and it would be about them dealing with their long distance relationship and the letters/emails/whatever would start with them listing things they loved about each other. itd be super cheesy, but potential to be cute if done correctly.
Most people who’s portrayed that they’re strong and independent especially as a teenager aren’t really that it’s a front so they don’t get hurt and it’s high school you don’t hold grudges in high school like that when you’re into someone this movie is perfect from beginning to end especially for his time
2:01 Sooooo what table did YOU sit at in high school, hmmm? In Bianca's defense, she did want a certain level of normalcy, at least as far as high school rights of passage. But as the older sibling in my family, whose younger sister hit high school and immediately became one of the more pretty/smart/popular/approachable students, I can see why Kat and her father were more or less cohorts. The dad sees the horror of teenage delinquency cranked up to 11 every day at his job, while Kat was literally screwed by the first man she trusted with her body, only to have him try to screw her indirectly by screwing her younger sister. Granted, the father is projecting his fears onto his children (one of whom already did the one thing he told his kids NOT to do) and Kat is running interference based on a painful previous experience. Having said all that, Bianca is really unwilling to jeopardize her image in order to date. If seeing a boy is that important to her, as you pointed out, why doesn't she see him in private or simply sneak away? Well, as Chastity points out, she's got a bit of a 'princess' complex going on. She wants to have her cake and date it too...eat it, too, whatever. It doesn't excuse Kat's attempt to usurp her sister's freedom or Cameron/Patrick/Joey from concocting this scheme simply to get a Date out of Bianca, but Bianca's value system is very Bianca-centric. Also, as underhanded as these three guys are and as fractured as Kat's view of dating in general is, they all have some agency in moving the plot along. Whereas Bianca...well, she gets in a few good hits towards the end, sure, but that was AFTER learning of what happened to her sister, AFTER the plan was more less in play and AFTER Cameron filled her in on the plan and did his Hail-Mary nice-guy confession in the car. She didn't really search for any of those realizations, they were already in motion or presented TO her. Things just kind of HAPPEN to/for/around Bianca...maybe that's where the accusations of selfishness come from. Side note, yeah yeah Larisa Oleynik is hot and all, makes sense from an Rom-Com POV, but hotter than mid-20's Gabrielle Union? HELL no. No joke, I was entering High School when this film came out, but only learned about its existence a year later by way of the soundtrack. Cruel to Be Kind and I Want You to Want Me were favorites of mine for years. Regarding the lack of parental supervision everywhere else in the movie...the early 2000s were trying to kill off the late 90s, yes, but I grew up in a pretty affluent suburb and this portrayal isn't very far from the truth. Booze was way too easy to get, very few teachers batted an eye at seeing pamphlets/webpage announcements regarding upcoming parties and it was common for kids to throw together a 70-person, two-keg-rager with a days' notice. How? It was the North Shore; they had money, driver's licenses, time and absentee parents...a lethal combination. One of my most vivid memories of the 8th Grade (JUNIOR high) is of three cops tackling my buddy Bill on the dance-floor/basketball court, because he snuck a bottle of Maker's Mark into our third school dance and was passing it around by covertly pouring it into soda cans...they had to rewrite the student decorum and school policy rulebooks for that incident alone. Great film, great review! Haven't seen this in years and now I want to again. -J
I didn't haha I ate in my teacher's room with my friends during lunch or on a nice day, we'd eat out in the hallways (I had an outdoor school) Ooh yeah that's very true! Bianca doesn't really do much. I honestly just really focus on Patrick and Kat more; Bianca and Cameron just hit one snag but they're basically together most of the movie. And man, if it weren't for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I would've been more creeped out by the whole nice-guy rant. But I will say that a lot of teenage girls probably thought the same way that Bianca did. Thinking that their problems are bigger than they actually are. I mean, what teenager out there is totally unselfish? Haha And YES, I agree. I've always found Gabrielle Union to be soo gorgeous I had a clip where I questioned if teachers even cared about what students were doing outside of school, but I cut it out because I thought maybe they did. I guess I was wrong 😅 I lived in a pretty affluent area too, but nowadays parties and everything were a lot more secretive. All the drugs and drinking were all very under-the-radar. But then again, I was never part of the "cool" crowd, so I probably just didn't know about anything haha
@@SophiaPhannn Oh yeah, today, social media is the tattletale. Unless you go to great lengths to hide what you do socially from specific people who may view it on Snap or Instagram or Facebook, you give yourself away by posting your Hijinks. But in '98 and '99? Unless you were caught in the act, you had plausible deniability. Had two dates that ended with me dropping her a block from her house, then driving home and sneaking up the trellis into my room ;-). I forgot, right, you went to an all girls school. That was by design to keep the boys away, or did you have some say in that? Soooo...is there a true "good guy" in this film? Someone who approaches dating and relationships in a way you find effective or attractive? I know you said you liked the chemistry between Patrick and Kat...but you also lambasted it a little because their relationship started with a payoff and ulterior motives. Are there any innocent parties here? -J
I went to a normal public high school! I'm not sure where you could've heard me say that I went to an all-girls school Well... no, not really. Everyone had their motives--except for Kat, I guess. But nobody's perfect! The plot and characters are imperfect, so it's easier to just write-off those details (nostalgia helps)
@@SophiaPhannn Ooooh, my mistake...I might be thinking about a different person's video that I commented on. Nostalgia does help, yeah...I can watch this film pretty easily. But others like 'She's All That', 'Drive Me Crazy' and 'Can't Hardly Wait' are bit more...squirrely. :-P
"For a character who is supposed to be really strong and independent, . . . , there should have been some more, resistance." - True. But remember, this is a story arc that had to reach a resolution within the running time of a movie, so the healing and forgiving process is accelerated. But yeah, the speed and ease of their relationship recovery from such a foundation of lies was quite unrealistic. Oh well, still a pretty good movie in my opinion.
the biggest thing that makes me angry about the dad is that if he's a doctor shouldn't he know just teaching kids abstinence doesn't work. Instead of being all dramatic about proms and stuff he could've just made sure his kids knew how to use protection and were on the pill. Like Bianca could've had a secret boyfriend, ditched school, and gotten pregnant at any time lmao.
I went to prom, but it was the least memorable dance to be honest. I took a friend that I never saw again in person due to living different lives. Prom is really what you make of it folks and is the most expensive dance you will go to in high school. If you're not a social person you don't need prom. Long comment short, it's only fun if you enjoy going.
Foundation of relationship? That sounds like someone lying and not admitting they met their partner on Bumble or Tinder. The reason why you get together is not the reason why you stay together. Also, I think he would move for her. He mentioned he moved around a bit to take care for sick relatives. So he doesn't have qualms about picking up and starting new.
Awwwww yayyy Feb buddies!!😊🙌 Im doing something special to treat myself this whole month too!! So happy i get to enjoy this "Favourites February" with you!!😉💜
I always knew February was your birth month but I never knew it was at the end. Mine too ! I’ll be sure to wish you a happy birthday after I’ve enjoyed your videos so much
I love this movie. It's my favorite romcom and probably the only romcom I think it truly nearly perfect. I love your reaction, but that was a gem of a movie and I have watched it SO many times. Nowadays, romcoms put me to sleep.
That's a good point about the long distance relationship. Most people don't think about that. But I liked that she was still going; she's not gonna change who she is for him.
in defense of kat forgiving him super fast, she gives off major aquarius energy, and aquarius are known to be non-judgmental, quick to forgive, and accepting, so it kiiiind of makes sense? I’d like to think that i’d probably react the same way she did as an aquarius myself. I mean, who can resist the charms of someone like patrick lol
My biggest flex is being able to say I'm within traveling distance of the high school they filmed at. If you're wondering it's Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington.
It's not one of the plays that I am most familiar with (although years ago I did read it, and I saw a stage production), but I believe this movie used a lot of the story. I like this sub-genre of teen romcoms that are based on classical literature. She's the Man -- based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night 10 Things I Hate About You -- based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew Clueless -- based on the novel, Emma, by Jane Austen Cruel Intentions -- based on Les Liaisons dangereuses, by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos (although this one is definitely NOT a romcom)
Also Warm Bodies -- based on Romeo and Juliet by WS This one is a zomromcom -- a zombie romantic comedy ETA --> (Actually, on 2nd thought, it would be a real stretch to call this an "adaptation" of R&J. WB merely borrows some characters, situations, and scenes -- more of an homage to R&J than an adaption. The overall plot is very different.)
Not gonna lie, I had _such_ a crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a kid when I watched this movie. I didn't know who he was then and funny enough, as an adult I didn't even recognise him as JGL at first 😂
The moment i was searching up some photos of heath ledger and i found out he´s dead was heartbreaking.... Litterally i was watching this movie yesterday and it got me in this super romantic mood so i want to watch it again and again .... i am obsessed and i dont want any other romantic films than with heath and its so heartbreaking that he died so early and why ( search it up ).... also he looked prettier with long hair... love your reaction sophia
@5:22 yes they do! I can testify to that! My parents were strict about dating when I was younger and now they’re like so when are you going to get a boyfriend, or get married or have kids? And I’m like 🙃🙃🙃🙃
11:37 can we just acknowledge that she completely glossed over "no ritual animal slaughter of ANY kind"😅🤣 but maybe more importantly.... what kind of parties did this man attend?!?😰❄
LOL, "in what school would groups be this diverse?" No, it's accurate for California. With 2,000 students in one school, there's bound to be lots of different people and groups.
That actually IS a high school. It's Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington. It was built as a luxury hotel in Tacoma because Tacoma was the end of the transcontinental railroad. The old train station is now a courthouse. When the Great Depression hit the hotel went bankrupt. The State picked it up for very little money and renovated it into the school you see today. The scene in the school courtyard is actually over the huge swimming pool below ground. The scene where he was interviewing the various kids to see if they'd date Kat is shot on the stairway going down to the pool and those kids were students there in the school's drama department. The paint ball scene was filmed at Gasworks Park in Seattle. Interestingly enough, from that park one can easily see the floating house that was used for the film "Sleepless In Seattle". The park used to be the primary power generation point for all of Seattle. They left everything there, did a cleanup of the place and turned it into a park. Seattle used to have huge fireworks displays on the 4th of July and the entire park would be jam-packed with people to see the show. The prom scene was filmed at the Opera House for the ceiling and stairway scenes, and the gymnasium for the dancing scenes where there were hundreds of extras. The outtakes of this film during the credits are hilarious as well, especially the one where Heath actually kissed Julia in the car. While this film is over the top, it's a fantastic performance by Heath and Julia.
I hate my phone...I have notifications turned on and my phone decided not to tell me. I just realized that you posted a new video luckily I was watching UA-cam on my Tv...
I can't get over you wondering how nobody stops the party or calls the cop on them...Like, teens be teening, why would random adults care? Do people in the US usually call cops for underage drinking?
I really like your reactions! I hope maybe you'll react to The Darkest Minds someday. It's one of my absolute favorite movies ever and it's so underrated!
this movie came out a few weeks after I turned 18 a lot of my friends then had a thing for andrew keegan (joey) I thought heath ledger was the heartthrob of this movie but tbh my celeb crush at the time was still joe mcintyre of the new kids & it stayed that way til I was about to turn 21 and started watching WWE (still called WWF til after my bday) & then it was Edge until in my mid-30s when it became comedian Sal Vulcano it's NEVER been a hollywood actor that was the celeb crush though edge (adam copeland who i met at a book signing) & sal have been in movies that's not their career i didn't go to my prom either
Honestly if people drink enough and they’re hyped enough, they’ll get to that point. I had a friend that’s never danced before and we had no idea he had it in him. Lol

Unless you call getting made fun of for your looks until you were so stressed out and crying everyday that suicide seemed like a legit option. Or getting shoved/rammed into lockers, tripped, etc. And you were shunned if you even tried to sit at a table other than with your clique. Also, after Columbine, people treated the nerdy/quiet kids even worse because they wanted to beat us down so we wouldn't "go all Columbine" on the whole school. But of course that would only make things worse.
AND for anyone in the LGBTQ community, you couldn't have been out in the open because you would be ridiculed to hell and back. Absolutely no freedom to be yourself.
@@becci7288 what part if segregation on different cliques and not being able to join multiple groups sound fun?
@becci same, I wanna live in the 90s too
SAME girl, I would be soooo uncomfortable with a big over the top display. Like I’d probably smile politely while it was happening (if I knew it was coming from a good innocent place), but I would have so much anxiety LoL.
I was fourteen when this movie came out and it left me with such a big crush on Heath Ledger.
This movie and A Knights Tale had me like “wait this absolute hottie also played the Joker?! He’s the man of my dreams and my nightmares”
Kat's poem at the end of the movie always makes me cry a bit
loooove this movie. also I've always thought there should be an extra half hour after the poem scene so that we could see them talk it out for a bit?? and I was born and grew up in Tacoma, WA, 20 mins from where Stadium high school is and it is indeed that beautiful and the view is insane.
Kat is my comfort character. I love her sm
cameron is so innocent XD patrick was asking where on him bianca kissed not where they were when she did legit i'd respond the same til i saw by his face that's not what he meant then i'd be like oh my bad on the lips
I saw this movie probably too young lol, but I remember loving it. It's interesting to see it now in my 30s. I was sheltered so seeing this was wild to me. Nostalgia fr.

True, but in my opinion, in some ways, the mark of strength can also be identified if you're strong enough to listen and to give forgiveness.
Resistance of what we don't like isn't always a mark of strength, in some ways, it can be a mark of weakness.
But of course, it's all depending on the situation.
She's "tamed", that's why she forgives him so fast
Even tho corona is ruining birthdays we're all here to say happy birthday on the special day :)
heath ledgers smile literally makes me feel so happy
okay but, I kinda wish there was a sequel and it could've called 10 Things I Love About You and it would be about them dealing with their long distance relationship and the letters/emails/whatever would start with them listing things they loved about each other. itd be super cheesy, but potential to be cute if done correctly.
Most people who’s portrayed that they’re strong and independent especially as a teenager aren’t really that it’s a front so they don’t get hurt and it’s high school you don’t hold grudges in high school like that when you’re into someone this movie is perfect from beginning to end especially for his time
2:01 Sooooo what table did YOU sit at in high school, hmmm?
In Bianca's defense, she did want a certain level of normalcy, at least as far as high school rights of passage. But as the older sibling in my family, whose younger sister hit high school and immediately became one of the more pretty/smart/popular/approachable students, I can see why Kat and her father were more or less cohorts. The dad sees the horror of teenage delinquency cranked up to 11 every day at his job, while Kat was literally screwed by the first man she trusted with her body, only to have him try to screw her indirectly by screwing her younger sister. Granted, the father is projecting his fears onto his children (one of whom already did the one thing he told his kids NOT to do) and Kat is running interference based on a painful previous experience. Having said all that, Bianca is really unwilling to jeopardize her image in order to date. If seeing a boy is that important to her, as you pointed out, why doesn't she see him in private or simply sneak away? Well, as Chastity points out, she's got a bit of a 'princess' complex going on. She wants to have her cake and date it too...eat it, too, whatever. It doesn't excuse Kat's attempt to usurp her sister's freedom or Cameron/Patrick/Joey from concocting this scheme simply to get a Date out of Bianca, but Bianca's value system is very Bianca-centric. Also, as underhanded as these three guys are and as fractured as Kat's view of dating in general is, they all have some agency in moving the plot along. Whereas Bianca...well, she gets in a few good hits towards the end, sure, but that was AFTER learning of what happened to her sister, AFTER the plan was more less in play and AFTER Cameron filled her in on the plan and did his Hail-Mary nice-guy confession in the car. She didn't really search for any of those realizations, they were already in motion or presented TO her. Things just kind of HAPPEN to/for/around Bianca...maybe that's where the accusations of selfishness come from.
Side note, yeah yeah Larisa Oleynik is hot and all, makes sense from an Rom-Com POV, but hotter than mid-20's Gabrielle Union? HELL no.
No joke, I was entering High School when this film came out, but only learned about its existence a year later by way of the soundtrack. Cruel to Be Kind and I Want You to Want Me were favorites of mine for years. Regarding the lack of parental supervision everywhere else in the movie...the early 2000s were trying to kill off the late 90s, yes, but I grew up in a pretty affluent suburb and this portrayal isn't very far from the truth. Booze was way too easy to get, very few teachers batted an eye at seeing pamphlets/webpage announcements regarding upcoming parties and it was common for kids to throw together a 70-person, two-keg-rager with a days' notice. How? It was the North Shore; they had money, driver's licenses, time and absentee parents...a lethal combination. One of my most vivid memories of the 8th Grade (JUNIOR high) is of three cops tackling my buddy Bill on the dance-floor/basketball court, because he snuck a bottle of Maker's Mark into our third school dance and was passing it around by covertly pouring it into soda cans...they had to rewrite the student decorum and school policy rulebooks for that incident alone.
Great film, great review! Haven't seen this in years and now I want to again.
-J
I didn't haha I ate in my teacher's room with my friends during lunch or on a nice day, we'd eat out in the hallways (I had an outdoor school)
Ooh yeah that's very true! Bianca doesn't really do much. I honestly just really focus on Patrick and Kat more; Bianca and Cameron just hit one snag but they're basically together most of the movie. And man, if it weren't for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I would've been more creeped out by the whole nice-guy rant. But I will say that a lot of teenage girls probably thought the same way that Bianca did. Thinking that their problems are bigger than they actually are. I mean, what teenager out there is totally unselfish? Haha
And YES, I agree. I've always found Gabrielle Union to be soo gorgeous
I had a clip where I questioned if teachers even cared about what students were doing outside of school, but I cut it out because I thought maybe they did. I guess I was wrong 😅 I lived in a pretty affluent area too, but nowadays parties and everything were a lot more secretive. All the drugs and drinking were all very under-the-radar. But then again, I was never part of the "cool" crowd, so I probably just didn't know about anything haha
@@SophiaPhannn Oh yeah, today, social media is the tattletale. Unless you go to great lengths to hide what you do socially from specific people who may view it on Snap or Instagram or Facebook, you give yourself away by posting your Hijinks. But in '98 and '99? Unless you were caught in the act, you had plausible deniability. Had two dates that ended with me dropping her a block from her house, then driving home and sneaking up the trellis into my room ;-).
I forgot, right, you went to an all girls school. That was by design to keep the boys away, or did you have some say in that?
Soooo...is there a true "good guy" in this film? Someone who approaches dating and relationships in a way you find effective or attractive? I know you said you liked the chemistry between Patrick and Kat...but you also lambasted it a little because their relationship started with a payoff and ulterior motives. Are there any innocent parties here?
-J
I went to a normal public high school! I'm not sure where you could've heard me say that I went to an all-girls school
Well... no, not really. Everyone had their motives--except for Kat, I guess. But nobody's perfect! The plot and characters are imperfect, so it's easier to just write-off those details (nostalgia helps)
@@SophiaPhannn Ooooh, my mistake...I might be thinking about a different person's video that I commented on. Nostalgia does help, yeah...I can watch this film pretty easily. But others like 'She's All That', 'Drive Me Crazy' and 'Can't Hardly Wait' are bit more...squirrely. :-P
Being from Washington this movie is so iconic i remember going to the high school this was filmed at and just being in the field part it was huge
Gabrielle Union was 27, while everyone else playing a high schooler was 18-20 in this movie.So much to unpack.
Have you watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?" You would love it!!!
I have not! I've been meaning to watch it, but unsure if I would put it on my channel since I know it's really sad .-.
@@SophiaPhannn its not sad, really! You would love it!
This is the best reaction video of 10 things i hate about you. 'hey there girly' always cracks me up. And your reaction to that line makes it funnier.
"For a character who is supposed to be really strong and independent, . . . , there should have been some more, resistance."
- True. But remember, this is a story arc that had to reach a resolution within the running time of a movie, so the healing and forgiving process is accelerated. But yeah, the speed and ease of their relationship recovery from such a foundation of lies was quite unrealistic.
Oh well, still a pretty good movie in my opinion.
the biggest thing that makes me angry about the dad is that if he's a doctor shouldn't he know just teaching kids abstinence doesn't work. Instead of being all dramatic about proms and stuff he could've just made sure his kids knew how to use protection and were on the pill. Like Bianca could've had a secret boyfriend, ditched school, and gotten pregnant at any time lmao.
Her getting drunk off of two shots is the funniest and most unbelievable thing for me😂😂
Does the little sister not know what period stains are? Like, everytime I watch I'm like 👁️👄👁️ at the room rummaging scene-
I never cared for this movie but looking back. Heath ledger and Joseph Gordon levitt were very good actors in this.
For years I never knew there were bloopers during the credits. That was a pleasant surprise one day.
Goddamn.
I love it when you sing, Sophia.
You look so happy when you do.
And you sound great!
fun fact: andrew keegan (who played joey) is a cult leader now
huh-
He’s almost like too charming like man I’m trynna not simp 😭❤️
It *IS a real school!* Stadium High School in Tacoma, WA. It was originally a hotel built in the 1800s…abandoned, gutted & turned into a school.
I went to prom, but it was the least memorable dance to be honest. I took a friend that I never saw again in person due to living different lives. Prom is really what you make of it folks and is the most expensive dance you will go to in high school. If you're not a social person you don't need prom.
Long comment short, it's only fun if you enjoy going.
Foundation of relationship?
That sounds like someone lying and not admitting they met their partner on Bumble or Tinder.
The reason why you get together is not the reason why you stay together.
Also, I think he would move for her. He mentioned he moved around a bit to take care for sick relatives. So he doesn't have qualms about picking up and starting new.
Awwwww yayyy Feb buddies!!😊🙌
Im doing something special to treat myself this whole month too!! So happy i get to enjoy this "Favourites February" with you!!😉💜
one of my fav movies, you should watch drive me crazy my second fav
17:54 Best serenade ever and he wins to get the girl
The casting on this movie was near perfection - I mean yeah, the acting was great but all the dudes were above average attractive, like tf
I always knew February was your birth month but I never knew it was at the end. Mine too ! I’ll be sure to wish you a happy birthday after I’ve enjoyed your videos so much
I love this movie. It's my favorite romcom and probably the only romcom I think it truly nearly perfect. I love your reaction, but that was a gem of a movie and I have watched it SO many times. Nowadays, romcoms put me to sleep.
I swear, anytime you post, it makes my day lol
That's a good point about the long distance relationship. Most people don't think about that. But I liked that she was still going; she's not gonna change who she is for him.
(Larry Miller enters) Me: *gasp* _"It's the doorman!!!"_
This movie is so adorable!!
Loved this video I really liked the movie my birthday is also February 👌
in defense of kat forgiving him super fast, she gives off major aquarius energy, and aquarius are known to be non-judgmental, quick to forgive, and accepting, so it kiiiind of makes sense? I’d like to think that i’d probably react the same way she did as an aquarius myself. I mean, who can resist the charms of someone like patrick lol
I know you said you'd be embarrassed by a big display of affection like that, but if you're ever in need of a Cameron type simp lmk lol
My biggest flex is being able to say I'm within traveling distance of the high school they filmed at. If you're wondering it's Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington.
Wow, Sophia you looks so pretty in this video! Thank you.
Fun fact! This movie is actually an adaptation of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew"
It's not one of the plays that I am most familiar with (although years ago I did read it, and I saw a stage production), but I believe this movie used a lot of the story.
I like this sub-genre of teen romcoms that are based on classical literature.
She's the Man -- based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night
10 Things I Hate About You -- based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew
Clueless -- based on the novel, Emma, by Jane Austen
Cruel Intentions -- based on Les Liaisons dangereuses, by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos (although this one is definitely NOT a romcom)
Also
Warm Bodies -- based on Romeo and Juliet by WS
This one is a zomromcom -- a zombie romantic comedy
ETA -->
(Actually, on 2nd thought, it would be a real stretch to call this an "adaptation" of R&J. WB merely borrows some characters, situations, and scenes -- more of an homage to R&J than an adaption. The overall plot is very different.)
Not gonna lie, I had _such_ a crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a kid when I watched this movie. I didn't know who he was then and funny enough, as an adult I didn't even recognise him as JGL at first 😂
The troll under the bridge caught me off guard! I never knew this was filmed in Seattle! 🌧
# 1 no dating till you graduate.
# 2 no dating till you graduate. 😂
Heath Ledger in this movie was finnnneeeeee 👌😍🥴
Bianca punching and kneeing Joey was SO satisfying
I pulled this movie out of a bargain bin one day and I knew nothing about it and now it's one of my favorite movies
The moment i was searching up some photos of heath ledger and i found out he´s dead was heartbreaking.... Litterally i was watching this movie yesterday and it got me in this super romantic mood so i want to watch it again and again .... i am obsessed and i dont want any other romantic films than with heath and its so heartbreaking that he died so early and why ( search it up ).... also he looked prettier with long hair...
love your reaction sophia
@5:22 yes they do! I can testify to that! My parents were strict about dating when I was younger and now they’re like so when are you going to get a boyfriend, or get married or have kids? And I’m like 🙃🙃🙃🙃
11:37 can we just acknowledge that she completely glossed over "no ritual animal slaughter of ANY kind"😅🤣
but maybe more importantly.... what kind of parties did this man attend?!?😰❄
LOL, "in what school would groups be this diverse?" No, it's accurate for California. With 2,000 students in one school, there's bound to be lots of different people and groups.
That actually IS a high school. It's Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington. It was built as a luxury hotel in Tacoma because Tacoma was the end of the transcontinental railroad. The old train station is now a courthouse. When the Great Depression hit the hotel went bankrupt. The State picked it up for very little money and renovated it into the school you see today. The scene in the school courtyard is actually over the huge swimming pool below ground. The scene where he was interviewing the various kids to see if they'd date Kat is shot on the stairway going down to the pool and those kids were students there in the school's drama department. The paint ball scene was filmed at Gasworks Park in Seattle. Interestingly enough, from that park one can easily see the floating house that was used for the film "Sleepless In Seattle". The park used to be the primary power generation point for all of Seattle. They left everything there, did a cleanup of the place and turned it into a park. Seattle used to have huge fireworks displays on the 4th of July and the entire park would be jam-packed with people to see the show. The prom scene was filmed at the Opera House for the ceiling and stairway scenes, and the gymnasium for the dancing scenes where there were hundreds of extras. The outtakes of this film during the credits are hilarious as well, especially the one where Heath actually kissed Julia in the car. While this film is over the top, it's a fantastic performance by Heath and Julia.
The teacher and Heath are my favorite
Yeah things were different in the 90s and 00s parties and everything just felt so different. I used to have such a crush on Larisa Oleynik.
I hate my phone...I have notifications turned on and my phone decided not to tell me. I just realized that you posted a new video luckily I was watching UA-cam on my Tv...
Omg we're both pisces, love this movie, AND didnt go to our prom?!
Stop😱🤣❤
I can't get over you wondering how nobody stops the party or calls the cop on them...Like, teens be teening, why would random adults care? Do people in the US usually call cops for underage drinking?
I really like your reactions! I hope maybe you'll react to The Darkest Minds someday. It's one of my absolute favorite movies ever and it's so underrated!
It slipped by me the first time watching this that Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet and Cameron are played by the same actor
how can a movie be not good but good at the same time
I showed my boyfriend this movie and was saying how cute I thought ledger was and he told me I’m grounded for 2 weeks 🤣
it's the orange eyeshadow for me
Vlogs, makeup looks, 🥲
i'm binge watching ur videos... and i have no regrets... that is all thank u
THE DESCRIPTION 💀
this movie came out a few weeks after I turned 18 a lot of my friends then had a thing for andrew keegan (joey) I thought heath ledger was the heartthrob of this movie but tbh my celeb crush at the time was still joe mcintyre of the new kids & it stayed that way til I was about to turn 21 and started watching WWE (still called WWF til after my bday) & then it was Edge until in my mid-30s when it became comedian Sal Vulcano it's NEVER been a hollywood actor that was the celeb crush though edge (adam copeland who i met at a book signing) & sal have been in movies that's not their career
i didn't go to my prom either
Next Can you react to Mean girls?
Honestly if people drink enough and they’re hyped enough, they’ll get to that point. I had a friend that’s never danced before and we had no idea he had it in him. Lol
