It begins with Cameron James moving into a new community and when Micheal Eckman gives him around the school, Cameron sees Bianca and instantly falls in love with her. He decides to ask her out on a date when Micheal tells him that the Stratfords aren't allowed to date until Bianca's older sister Katherine finds a date first. Joey Donner, who also likes Bianca, goes to Patrick Verona to bribe him with his money to date Katherine. Patrick agrees but when he tries to get kat's attention, he finds out why everybody hates her. She's an independent, outgoing person with a mind of her own and a really big temper. After Patrick wins Kate's heart, he realizes that he too loves her. Cameron also eventually gets Bianca's attention and everything ends happily.

There were many ways in which the characters in this movie were similar to the ones in the original play. Kat always had a big temper and

So, by comparing both of these movies, I've found this new version was extremely effective and much better than Shakespeare's play. I liked it better because even though both versions were comedies, Gil Junger's was hilarious. So for this reason and many others that I have stated, I felt that this was a really good movie.

I also noticed that this version had a different setting but a similar plot. It took place somewhere in America, at a high school in the city and during the 1900's. Shakespeare's play took place in Padua, which is in Europe, in a small town and during the1500's. I thought that both movies had similar plots because they both have to do with a family that has a father and two daughters who are very different from each other. The plot's also about Bianca not being able to date/marry because her older sister doesn't want to and their father wants Kate to date/marry before Bianca does. Both versions also end up with similar couples: Kate with Petruchio/Patrick and Bianca with Lucentio/Cameron. The only difference in the plot is that there are many missing characters: Hortensio, Grumio, Gremio, Widow, Vincentio, Tranio (who is almost like Micheal but not of his character), And Biondello in this new movie. So you can tell that even though after all these years and so many things have changed since then, the play still has a similar plot, only it's a bit updated for an audience during this day and age.

Although there are many ways in which the characters are alike, they are different in many ways also. In Gil's movie, Kat was constantly telling her sister to be what she wants to be and not listen to other people (to be a non-conformist) but Bianca wouldn't take her advice. Kate did not directly mention this to the audience in the original play, nor did she say that she was a non-conformist, as she mentioned in the newer version only using different words. Kate was also much kinder toward
