Trivia:

Several names reflect the Shakespearean origin of the story. Bianca's and Kat's last name is Stratford (William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon). Patrick's last name is Verona (birthplace of Petruchio, the corresponding character from the play). The high school is called Padua, which is the city in which the play is set.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the scene in which the teacher gets an arrow fired into his backside by Bianca, a girl runs off to go find help, however before she runs off camera she stops and looks back, obviously unaware she is still on camera.

Quotes:

Bianca: You suck!
Kat Stratford: [Mocking Bianca] You suck!

It was very good

A movie like this doesn't exactly hit you over the head with its originality, and can only be as good as the actors. They must convince you that you've never seen anything like this before. In this case every single member of the cast is so good that they sold me on the movie from minute one. Heath Ledger & Julia Stiles make a great couple and his rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" was one of the highlights. When Julia listed the "10 Things" she was crying and I was, too - extremely unusual for me in a movie like this. Everyone else was just as good and this movie is a keeper.
