The romantic movie par excellence of the 90s arrives on Disney+

Regarded as one of the most iconic teen romantic comedies of the 90s, 10 Things I Hate About You has left an indelible mark on the collective memory of an entire generation. Starring Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the film captures the essence of adolescence through charismatic characters and clever situations that resonate with audiences even decades after its release.

The story centers on Cameron James, a new student trying to navigate the complex world of his high school, filled with cliques and unwritten rules. His crush on Bianca Stratford, played by Larisa Oleynik, leads him to devise a clever plan with his friend Michael, which challenges the strict rule imposed by Bianca’s father: she can only date if her sister Kat has a date. To achieve this goal, they turn to the rebellious Patrick Verona, who will be in charge of winning over Kat.

The plot, inspired by The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare, is set within a trend of the 90s where many classic works were adapted into a youth format. Movies like Clueless, based on Emma by Jane Austen, and Cruel Intentions, inspired by Les Liaisons Dangereuses, reflect this era of modernization of literary and theatrical classics.

Nowadays, 10 Reasons to Hate You continues to enjoy a cult status, especially among those who grew up in that decade. Its biting humor and reflections on the yearnings, jealousy, and rivalries of adolescence make it a timeless work. Those interested in reliving this iconic movie can find it available on the Disney+ platform.
