Would-be Pandora listeners outside the USA, your suffering is at an end. This works:

  1. The heroine drives a Dodge Dart
  2. The heroine was not particularly good looking - I hate it when a movie has some gorgeous girl that everyone hates and no-one will go out with, even though she's gorgeous. Vile, unconscionably antisocial girls can get just about any guy they like in highschool just by being pretty and stringing them along. This woman was just plain enough that it's believable that no-one would be willing to look past her barbs to see the intelligence and charm she contains. I'm speaking strictly in a Taming of the Shrew sense; I'm still not convinced Julia Stiles can act, though it simply may have been bad direction.
  3. Heath Ledger; the man rises above the material -- and it was pretty dreck-like, even for washed and re-painted Shakespeare. I'm still not forgiving him for The Brothers Grimm, though.
  4. The soundtrack includes a Joan Armatrading song.
  5. There is no #5; I lied. The movie was otherwise without merit. I chuckled twice, and didn't laugh outright once. The humor is utterly predictable, and though there's a way to make predictable humor still work this movie is woefully unaware of that technique. 以上。もうぅ。無駄だった。
