My Thoughts:
While still entertaining... I this is my least favorite of the three movies. It is still worth watching every once in a while... but I didn't care too much for the storyline. The jokes they are using seemed recycled from the previous movies. But it still has a few decent laughs. The action isn't quite as good in this one either... but there is still some to enjoy. But watching this one you can tell why it is the last one in the series.

Stars:

Julia Stiles
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Larisa Oleynik
David Krumholtz

Plot:
A cool cast of young stars is just one of the things you'll love about this hilarious comedy hit. On the first day at his new school, Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, - Halloween: H20, TV's 3rd Rock From The Sun) instantly falls for Bianca (Larisa Oleynik - The Baby Sitters Club), the gorgeous girl of his dreams. The only problem is that Bianca is forbidden to date until her ill-tempered, completely un-dateable older sister Kat (Julia Stiles - Wide Awake) goes out, too. In an attempt to solve his problem, Cameron singles out the only guy who could possibly be a match for Kat: a mysterious bad-boy (Heath Ledger - The Patriot) with a nasty reputation of his own. Also featuring a hip soundtrack - this witty comedy is a wildly entertaining look at exactly how far some guys will go to get a date.

One of my favorite teen comedies. One of the last one before teen comedies equaled cross-out humor.
I also always loved the music selection. And also strangely this is the role of Heath Ledger I will always associate him with. It may be because this is the first movie I saw him in.
