About the film
How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.
What it’s about
Cameron James falls for Bianca Stratford on his first day at a new school. Her father forbids her from dating until her older sister Kat does. Cameron plans to set Kat up with Patrick Verona, a reputed bad boy, so he can date Bianca.
What hooks you
Heath Ledger plays Patrick Verona. Julia Stiles stars as Kat Stratford. The film borrows not only the plot of Shakespeare's 'The Taming of the Shrew' but also conflicts from 'Romeo and Juliet', with names like Verona and Stratford drawn from the playwright's works. The school is named Padua after the Italian city in Shakespeare's plays.
Who it’s for
It suits viewers who enjoy clever adaptations of classic literature set in modern high schools, and those who like romantic comedies with sharp dialogue and opposites-attract tension.

Trivia
- Not only the plot of "The Taming of the Shrew" is borrowed from the classic, but collisions from "Romeo and Juliet" are added, and toponymic names from the works of the English playwright are turned into proper names (Verona, Stratford). The school attended by the main character is called "Padua", after the Italian city of the same name where the action of Shakespeare's plays took place.
- Cameron's line ("I burn, I pine, I perish") is taken verbatim from The Taming of the Shrew.
- Julia Stiles is 3 months older than Larisa Oleynik; the age difference between the characters they played is 2 years.
- Julia Stiles auditioned for the role of Bianca, but ultimately got the role of Kat, and the role of Bianca was played by Larisa Oleynik.
- In one moment, for a split second, a door is shown with a sign hanging on the wall next to it. Surnames are written on it in chalk. One of them is "Max Chernov".
