Quotes
Mr. Morgan: All right... I assume everyone's found time to complete their poem... except... for Mr. Donner.
[starts laughing]
Mr. Morgan: Who has an excuse
[laughs even harder, then stops]
Mr. Morgan: . Shaft! Lose the glasses.
[Joey removes his sunglasses, revealing his bruised nose from his earlier confrontation with Bianca]
Mr. Morgan: All right... anyone brave enough to read theirs aloud?
[Everyone looks at each other, waiting to see who goes first, Kat finally raises her hand]
Kat Stratford: I will.
Mr. Morgan: [rolls his eyes and sighs] Lord, here we go.
Kat Stratford: I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme.
[sighs]
Kat Stratford: I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
[Kat's voice breaks and she looks at Patrick]
Kat Stratford: I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.
[starts to cry]
Kat Stratford: But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
[Kat walks out the classroom]

Crazy credits
During the credits there are practical jokes made by cast and crew and also goofs - including scenes that didn't make the final cut.

Alternate versions
The first UK releases were cut by 1 second to achieve a "12" rating and removed a brief shot of a butterfly knife being flipped open. The cut was waived for the 2010 DVD.

obstacles to true love knows no time era

One thing about the Bard -- he knew the plots that touches everyone's lives, no matter where on the social strata or when in history they may be. It is made apparent in the case of Cameron James, new kid in school, as he falls for the lovely Bianca, who cannot date until her older shrewish sister Kat will date. But Kat doesn't WANT to date, and thus Cameron must scheme to find a suitable guy for this harpy-with-the-heart-of-gold if he is to win the fair Bianca.

Julia Stiles may be no Elizabeth Taylor, but then, she doesn't have to be. This flick relays the same message to a brand-new audience and is fun and entertaining to boot (plus I don't think Taylor could dance on a table quite like Stiles does in one of the more memorable scenes.)

In the end, this is a charming movie that will entertain and educate high-schoolers as well as those several years past graduating. After all, Shakespeare knew what he was writing about -- there is no age limit when it comes to matters of the heart!
