This week I’m going to write about the movie, 10 Things I Hate About You. 10 Things I Hate About You came out in 1999. This makes the movie a little bit older than you would think a teenage girl would watch but it’s been trending around social media recently. In my opinion it was one of the best romcoms ever made. It starts off when a new guy, Cameron, really likes a girl, Bianca, and tries to get to know her, but she is way more popular than he is. Cameron soon finds out that the popular hot model, Joey, likes Bianca too. Of Course Bianca is wanting to be with Joey, but another issue comes up. Her dad doesn’t let her date unless her sister, Kat, will date. Kat is a feminist and always says what she thinks. Later in the movie it is revealed Joey made her that way. He tried to get her to do stuff she didn’t want to do. All of this makes Kat not very friendly, you wouldn’t think she would want a boyfriend. The movie progresses by Cameron coming up with the idea to pay a tough guy, Patrick, to date Kat, so he can date Bianca. The only thing is Cameron doesn’t have that much money, but Joey does. Cameron proposes the idea, Joey gets suspicious but takes the deal anyway. Patrick ends up taking the deal and keeps coming at Kat. With his consistency it works, Kat starts to like Patrick. Cameron is still trying to go out with Bianca, but she goes out with Joey. Cameron is a little bummed but doesn’t let go of this crush. Adding on to the conflict, Kat finds out Patrick was getting paid and gets really upset. Since Patrick actually did care about her he bought her a guitar with the money he got because he knew how much she liked music. Continuing with Joey’s issue, he wants to go out and party more but since Bianca has strict parenting she says she can’t and Joey ditches her for her friend. Obviously Bianca is rightfully upset but she needed a ride home, and Cameron offered. At the end of the car ride he rants about how much he likes her and she kisses him. She realized that he actually did care, and they ended up being together. It’s a typical romcom enemies to lovers, even though it’s older it’s one of the best. Overall, romcoms are my favorite type of movie or book, but from my angle this movie in particular is the best.

My name is Abby Bradbury, and this is my first year in yearbook and journalism. I am a freshman here at PCM High School, and I am so excited to be part of the staff. I wanted to join journalism and the yearbook to capture memories and create new ones. So far I participate in Student Government, FCA, Key Club, volleyball, and hope to run track in the spring. I say my favorite color is purple, but if I am being honest, my favorite color is based on whatever I see at the moment. I am excited to see what I can add to this year’s programs!
