Directed by Gil Junger and written by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, this teen romantic comedy reimagines Shakespeare's classic play in a modern high school setting. The story follows a lovestruck teenager who attempts to win over a popular girl, but first must convince a rebellious outcast to date her notoriously antisocial older sister. The high school environment and the emotional friction between the characters are accompanied by a selection of energetic upbeat tunes and softer background tunes that perfectly represent the alternative rock and pop-punk culture of the late nineties. These choices heighten the humor and teen angst of the story, making every iconic scene memorable.
