Ashley Townsend (blackeyedsurfer)

Lags a bit in the second act with the mother and neighbour subplot, but Redford and Fonda have great chemistry throughout and Neil Simon's script is as wacky as ever.

Fabulously acted.

Although it can be quickly and easily dismissed, this contemporary Shakespearean adaptation is far above a typical teen romp. Loosely based on The Taming of the Shrew, intricate characterization and solid performances make 10 Things not only tolerable, but thoroughly enjoyable. The cast is loaded with talent: Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larry Miller, and Allison Janney, to name only a few. Ledger and Stiles have chemistry, and even this early in their careers, it was clear that they were destined for greatness. Ledger's ridiculously romantic scene where he serenades Stiles over the public address system in the middle of soccer practice, singing The Four Seasons' classic "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" is simply icing on the cake.

A childhood fave!
