I used to think American high school movies were unrealistic until I saw one of the most popular girls in my year cry because she wasn't elected prom queen

10 Things I Hate About You (1999) 9/10
Tumblr media
In an attempt to fit in and finally embrace the teenage social life, Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) decides to help Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik) out by hooking up the school's bad boy, Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger), with Bianca's older sister, Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles). For five hundred dollars, Patrick must date Kat so Bianca can be with Cameron. Will it work or is it too good to be true?
I've heard about this movie,and apparently it's one of those that you need to see before you die, so I thought, why not?
It's the typical high school movie, with drinking, lots of teenagers making out, drama, and the stress that is high school itself. Heath and Julia portray the enemies to lovers couple, at each other's throats 90% of the time. It's also worth mentioning that this a modern retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming Of The Shrew (and two of the characters in the play, Bianca and Katherine, are also in this movie, too! Kat is just a shortened form of Katherine, although Kat Stratford's full name is Katarina)
It's funny; it's an interesting plot also involving fake dating, which is a trope that's not seen too much in romance movies these days. Most tropes are enemies to lovers, or the good girl with the bad boy (classic).
There's several one liners, mainly said by Kat, and some notable iconic scenes, one involving a Notorious B.I.G song. And I'm sure everyone knows the line, 'Not even a little bit, not even at all'.
I would watch this if you don't want to think too much, as the plot is easy to understand, and it's also relatble to some people, especially in high school, when relationships are all the norm. Some people, like Bianca, just want somebody to date, because everyone else seems to be dating someone.
But just a lesson: You don't have to date someone because everyone else is. It's okay to be single, as long as you are happy with yourself either way.
We also see a young Joseph Gordon Levitt, who hasn't aged. He plays the adorable guy with a crush on a girl, who just wants to be with her. Heath Ledger's character is easy to hate, but there are moments where you like him. Julia Stiles's Kat is very easy to hate, right from the start, but over the course of the film, her softer side shown, mainly to Patrick.
I would rewatch this film, given the chance. It's relatable, funny, iconic, and worth the hype, even inspiring the song, '10 Things I Hate About You'.

Movies:
Cheer: If you’re pretty, you can join. We don’t have a coach or judges.
Football: Do an intense try out and only half of you will get on.
Real Life:
Cheer: A woman killed her daughter’s rival’s mom so her daughter would get on the team, so now a random panel of judges you’ve never seen and will never see again will judge you. Now do a standing backflip three times before landing and land in splits on this human pyramid.
Football: Run and Tackle and you can get on.

For my young aspecs out there, please watch 2010’s teenage romcom starring Emma Stone…
Easy A💌
It’s about a girl who tries to help a friend that’s struggling with his own sexuality (in a 2010 type way) and ends up being known as the school’s slut. Olive goes from a prude to a skank trying to control the narrative. However she can’t because she goes to a heteronormative school with f-boys and women who don’t support women.
Spoiler, in the end she ends up with Penn Badgley which is cute. But…. it’s amazing to picture it instead as her being aspec and just wanting to help a friend but loose her reputation along the way. If you took out Olive’s love interest all together, it would barely change.💜💚

You know how movies about teenagers have the "mean girl who would do ANYTHING to become Prom Queen" stereotype? Those girls who act like being elected as the "Queen" there is the most important thing?
Sometimes, I wish we could see what those characters have grown up to be as adults. There could be many possible scenarios:
She went on to still be manipulative and capable of ruining someone's life just to get a little sense of satisfaction and success;
Once she went to college, she realised how meaningless that "crown" is, and starts turning herself into a better person;
She starts having a crisis when she realises how THAT is the peak of her life;
She STILL brags about it, even 10 or 20 years later;
It would be nice, because those characters actually behave like becoming Prom Queen is such an important task that everything is deemed fair if it's done to become one.

are kissing booths actually a thing, or is it just some weird plot device in highschool movies to get to people to kiss each other? because i cannot for the life of me imagine this actually working. has anyone ever seen a kissing booth in real life?

Gabriella is really out here auditioning for the WINTER MUSICAL a performance that are SELLING TICKETS to people. And she can’t look at the audience without freezing up… thank god this school has the budget for microphones, this would not fly at my school she would’ve been cast as a tree! And not even a cool tree that does anything, she’d just be standing still with a green hat and brown shirt on

Every time I push up my glasses I feel like the nerdy side character in a Highschool Film that's about to explain some weird math equation that has no relation at all to the plot or anything meaningful only to be interrupted when a bully knocks my books out of my hands in the middle of the hallway between classes (and I will be making a snide science-related or Star Trek related comment toward the bully under my breath of course)

A CINDERELLA STORY- 2004 ⭐⭐⭐
Tumblr media
Sam's (Hilary Duff) parents die leaving her an orphan in the care of her evil stepmother Fiona (Jennifer Coolidge). As her dad didnt leave a will, Fiona got all the money and forces Sam to be her slave.
Sam isnt popular at school but does have one friend (Zorro). She has an online pen pal from her school, they are both anonymous so dont know who each other are. They have feelings for each other so decide to meet at the school dance. Shes surprised to find out its Austin Ames (Chad Michael Moondance) the most popular guy in school.
The problem is she has to leave and shes wearing a "disguise" so he doesnt know who she was for some reason.
Tumblr media
Bear in mind this is the disguise which is basically the same as if she was just wearing sunglasses. They also interact with each other constantly but he cant work it out. Like doesnt even recognise her voice at all but is supposedly head over heels in love with her.
The movie is filled with pretty funnt stuff like that which doesnt make a lot of sense. But its a PG so it gets away with it.
Something else ive noticed with a lot of teen movies is at class assemblies theres like a five minute period where the bullies are allowed to take over and basically give a presentation humiliating the main character and revealing secrets about her and no one stops it.
Was very confused by when it happened in this movie because they revealed something about her which wasnt even embarrassing. And then Austin looked hurt liked shed let him down or something. It was pretty whack.
This movie has a whopping 5 straight to video sequels that were made.
Directed by Mark Rosman who also directed the original House on Sorority Row.
