Saw this wonderful movie on Netflix. Karen Gillan is brilliant & wonderful in this role. Jane's interactions with Benny left me with tears. Her ability to make you understand the complexities of the situation yet keeping the scene simple and flowing are why this Sheila is one of this Ages great actors. I will watch this movie again someday I am sure. Glascow, Scotland looks like Detroit, Michigan in some ways. Supporting cast did a decent job. A movie to see with one you love, especially a redhead. The movie gives insights to better understand em.

I could simply dismiss this movie as a formulaic rom-com that is neither particularly romantic nor comic, but that wouldn't really get into the problem with this movie. The problem is it feels phony from beginning to end. Everything about it is wrong. The main character dresses quirky, but there's no sense that this is who she is, or that she has a purpose in her choice of clothes. Instead, you feel someone on the movie just decided to dress her that way. The love interests actions are at best I-Love-Lucy-level nonsense at worst borderline sociopathic. It's also an absurdly stupid premise, and the movie knows it's a stupid premise and makes that clear, yet goes with it anyway. Every turn in the plot feels like it's there not because it is a natural outcome of what came before but simply because the writer wanted to create a situation. The performances are good. The movie looks good. And the movie effectively hits the basic rom-com pressure points. But its soulless and stupid, and unerringly goes for the trite moments and the fake emotions.I did like the main characters alter-ego. She was a good actress and was actually more convincing than the supposed real people in the film. But overall this was not just dull, but downright objectionable.

10 things I hate about you
1. the actress dresses like a wannabe indie school girl with a very limited wardrobe funded by the charity shop 2. the infuriating woman dressed as a 60s prostitute who does nothing to contribute to the film but sits in on every scene exposing her boobs 3. the character who appears initially handsome soon deteriorates, has multiple poorly paid jobs and eats chips in a monstrous fashion 4. the male protagonist cannot seem to decide his origin - have difficulty deciding if he is of Scottish, Indian or French descent due to his appalling acting 5. the background music sounds like its been composed by a Scottish 10 year old boy band 6. Willie is, number one - an awful name, and number 2 - old enough to be her dad 7. Our female protagonist is misleadingly skinny, consuming an abnormal quantity of cake - that of lemon drizzle, coconut and various cupcakes - however never gains weight 8. When romance finally sparks, our prostitute voyeur continues to watch as our hero consumes her face like one of her cakes 9. For some unknown reason our writer likes to sport the fashionable calculator watch 10. A tragic attempt at comedy at the end fails miserably when it appears our hero has keeled over from a tragic case of 3 minute pneumonia Good features include: the protagonist's hair

The movie was brilliant, the portrayal of Jane Lockheart(Main Character) was excellent and to the point, she was just how I imagined Jane to act, clumsy and beautiful!The movie played on my heart strings, I was laughing, crying and overall just having an amazing time watching it. The soundtrack to the movie is also fantastic.The movie also portrays Glasgow in the light, you want it to be shown, there was no "Neds" in sight. It is a fantastic Rom-com and I also love the cast, the cast couldn't have been better, they all seemed to know the characters inside out and it really showed through out the movie.Overall I had a great movie experience
