In "10 Things I Hate ABout You", the movie, you have the classic Shakespeare play “The Taming of the Shrew” put in a Seattle setting. Bianca is not allowed to date until her older sister Kat has a date. Well, that sets up the plot and of course everyone wants to date popular Bianca and no one seems to want to date Kat. Such is life at Padua High School. The new kid at school, Patrick, is financed into a date with Kat and he finds that he likes Kat and Kat likes Patrick. But now finally free to date, who will Bianca settle down with? 

Teen comedy. 

Katerina's  poem 

"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 the way you stare 
I hate your big combat boots 
and the way you read my mind 
I hate you so much it makes me sick 
it even makes me rhyme 
I hate the way you're always right 
I hate the way you lie 
I hate it when you make me laugh 
and even more when you make me cry 
I hate it when you're not around 
and the fact that you didn't call 
but mostly I hate it that I don't hate you 
not even close, 
not a little bit, 
not even at all."
