i need to watch more movies intoxicated because this was some of the most fun i had watching a movie in a MINUTE *UP* and *MAZE RUNNER: THE DEATH CURE* are both available for Edited Early Access and Full Length over on Patreon! www.patreon.com/professorreactions
Yuup, you're 100% correct about how a lot of Batman fans reacted when Heath was originally announced as the Joker. They just pointed at this film and Brokeback and said the studio had forced the casting to sell tickets to women. A lot of people were fully expecting to HATE Ledger's performance, but then it was so good that almost everyone was instantly won over.
100%. I literally laughed when I found out he was gonna be the Joker. I knew he was a decent actor but thought the role was wayyy out of his league. Soon as I saw a trailer, my doubts were gone and by the time I saw it in theaters, I didn’t want the movie to stop. He was PERFECT.
@@knoxashford9291 The homophobia was even worse back then in the Superhero fan sphere back then than it is now, so that's probably one of the reasons the fanboys weren't happy with Heath as the Joker after watching BM.
I knew he’d knock it out of the park. I feel like the female fans did know that haha. He’s just a good actor and has that magnetism and intensity. Perfect for the joker.
Absolutely love this movie. Best 90s romcom. When Patrick didn't kiss Kat in the car, there were two good reasons: 1) she was drunk and 2) he was actively still betraying her trust by accepting money to show her interest. The kiss would have been an abuse of her trust and questionable consent.
some fun facts about this movie bc i love it so damn much… 1. kat’s big poem at the end is the first and only take they used in the final cut of the movie! it wasn’t even written in the script that kat cries while reading, julia just felt that and did it in the moment. the director even said that as soon as she started crying, he did too, because he was so moved by her acting. 2. julia also improvised kat’s entire dancing routine on top of the table at the party. 3. the two writers of the film, karen & kiwi, didn’t know heath was australian when he was cast so they met up with him at a bar to go over some of the lines (to see how they would sound with his accent to see if they needed to change anything around) with him. they all ended up spending like ten hours together because they just had so much fun hanging out with him 🥹 4. it has never been confirmed if julia and heath dated irl, but she did admit that heath was her first on-screen kiss ever 👀 5. the choice of the “can’t take my eyes off you” being the song of the musical number was actually picked by heath! karen & kiwi (the two writers of the film) had narrowed it down to “i think i love you” by the partridge family and “i touch myself” by divinyls. but heath came up to them on the first day of filming that scene and said he felt like those songs weren’t romantic enough. they asked if he had any ideas and he brought up “can’t take my eyes off you” and they ended up loving it right away. 6. the crew didn’t have permission from disney to film the band playing on the roof at the end of the movie, but they did it anyway lol.
I’m glad they didn’t go with “I Think I Love You,” because Jerry O’ Connell sang that to Neve Campbell in Scream 2, and it would have been less iconic on both fronts had it gone that way.
"It's not everyday you find a girl who'll flash someone to get you out of detention." Love this movie. It has some of my favorite actors/actresses and is never cringe. This here is proof that William Shakespeare wrote timeless classics that can be adapted to any setting. Fun Fact: This was Heath Ledger's first American movie. One And Done Fact: The scene in which Kat reads the "10 Things" poem was the first and only take, according to the DVD extras. Julia Stiles' tears towards the end of the poem were real and not planned. Musical Assistance Fact: The marching band in the sequence where Heath Ledger sings to Julia Stiles was not from Stadium High School, where the film was shot. Stadium was approached by the makers of the movie to do the scene, but did not have a marching band. The makers of the movie then contacted Lincoln High School, a nearby Tacoma school, who furnished the marching band depicted in the scene. Several members of the Stadium Band assisted, but had to be taught how to march.
The high school was filmed at Stadium High School in Tacoma WA, and yes, it is a super cool building. You mentioned the lighting looked like it was overcast... well, it was Tacoma, so it probably was
So glad you loved this one, never gets old. Kat's character was an updated version of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew and it works because they have such strong magnetic chemistry, plus it was such fun. I love Heath's earlier movies especially A Knight's Tale (2001), a rock-n-roll take of medieval times. Blond Heath! As for a Disney movie, "Enchanted" is wonderful with Amy Adams. And "Before Sunrise" (1995) with Ethan Hawke is romance magic.

The girl who plays Bianca and the guy who plays the jerk hot dude were both pretty big stars in their respective TV shows at the time, as was JGL, so this was a pretty star studded movie for the era.
I wonder what the dad's reaction was when he was first introduced to Bianca's best friend, *Chastity*. I mean you KNOW he made a comment and it was probably hilarious 😂
Her poem at towards the end of the movie almost always makes me cry. Idk some times it just hits me. I really adore her line delivery in that scene. I really felt her pain.
when r patz was announced as Batman and every bro was like “ewww Edward, twilight”, ppl were like y’all said the same thing about heath ledger and look how he proved you wrong
i LOVE this movie so much. definitely my favorite teen romcom. the acting, the storyline, the writing, the humor, and the heartfelt moments are all so perfect. this movie is literally the standard. and like you said kat and patrick are both such cool characters and you just root for them, kat is everything one of my absolute favorite lead female characters, and the side characters are great too! the speech scene always amazes me, what a performance! its rare you find yourself blown away by the acting in romcoms but julia stiles really outdid herself in that moment, the emotion just taking over her and tearing up makes that scene everything.
Aside from not having enough weed, cuss words, gangs, baggy jeans, and a mall this movie is a fair showcase of what high school was like during that time. The dad's worldview was shared by adults over a certain age. Having young-ish teachers like the English teacher made the experience bearable since they were willing to level with you as a person versus treating you like just another problem to be dealt with. I also credit this movie with conferring a sexual connotation onto the phrase "Getting jiggy with it".
This movie still holds up so well. I never really had crushes on celebrities as a teen. Then I saw this. Heath Ledger was so talented and charming. I was so so sad when he died. Everyone scoffed when he was cast as the Joker because he was a “teen heartthrob” in people’s minds. But he had such range, Two Hands, Candy, A Knight’s Tale, Brokeback Mountain!!
There were A LOT of teen romcoms in the late 90s/early 2000s, especially in 1999 (the year this came out) and some are great but this is just top tier. Another one that I feel like gets slept on a lot is Get Over It. It's a fun one. Also...the reason all the women at Club Skunk were looking at him (and why he said he can't be seen there) is because it's known mostly as a club that girls/women go to.
90s recommendation: Empire Records. It wasn’t a big hit when it came out (it didn’t flop, it just had no marketing). it became sort of a cult film when it was released on video, cause by that time many of the (mostly) unknown actors in the film got very famous (Renée Zellweger, Liv Tyler, Robin Tunney, to name a few - there will be many other less familiar faces that will make you go “where have I seen them before….?”). I haven’t watched in in years, but it was one of my favourite films when I was a teenager.
The band he “called in a favor” for was Letters to Cleo. They play at the prom (Cruel To Be Kind, Artist Nick Lowe) and then on the rooftop during the credits. (I Want You To Want Me, Cheap Trick) Letter To Cleo were popular for their hit song “Here and Now” in 1994. Kay Hanley’s tongue twisting cadence and the song’s Pop Rock catchy feel, made the song quite unique and infectious. Kay is also known for writing the performed songs for the soundtrack of the Josie and the Pussycats movie in 2001.
I’m so glad you watched this! I love this movie so much. This movie is a bisexual’s dream ahaha. And really good character development and chemistry and great acting! Her poem near the end gets me every time 😢
Oh for similar movies you might like, I’d say Bend it Like Beckham. It’s not really a rom-com like this IMO but it’s really good and has some great early 2000 vibes~
Great reaction! Heath is such an amazing actor! his ability to transform himself for his roles is masterful & that’s how he was able to blow everyone away as the Joker (ppl really doubted him at the time). I HIGHLY recommend Brokeback Mountain!! The directing choices & acting & moving plot really cemented that film as a favorite for me personally
13:59 “I don’t understand. Why is every woman looking at him like he’s some type of freak” ummm my guy, there are no other guys at that club, and some girls have buzz cuts 😂
a lot of people were originally against his casting as the joker. I was a bit too young to really be into the behind the scenes stuff but obviously people turned around when they saw his performance lol
Varsity Blues is another plot line parodied in Not Another Teen Movie. Along with the Breakfast Club, She's All That, and Can't Hardly Wait. But a really good hidden gem is Trojan War with Will Friedle.
Can't Hardly Wait, Clueless, 50 First Dates, American Pie, Encino Man, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, Superbad...i could go on and on!
'Sorority Boys' is a very 90s, early 2000s movie that you should watch. It's freaking hilarious! When 'Not Another Teen Movie' came out I watched it on repeat, over and over for days, weeks even. My most watched movie EVER.
One of my faves... saw it when I was maybe 14? We were actually shown it in class because it's based on a Shakespeare play (Taming of the Shrew) Almost 35 now. Swear it changed my life lol, loved Heath so much for the wisdom his character had. It's a great movie... Have you done Bring it On yet? It's another classic (and actually good) "teen movie" and growing up it was the first time I remember a gay character being shown to teens (one of the male cheerleaders) which was awesome 🏳️🌈
Coloring is a very specific choice because it takes place in Seattle which is known for mostly overcast gloomy weather vs teen comedies usually taking place in Southern California or New York.
I felt like re-watching this movie, so I thought I'd experience it again with someone watching it for the first time... I'm so happy I came across your reaction!! 🥰 Exactly what I was hoping for!
This was SUCH an entertaining & awesome reaction to watch! I need you to drink & react to some of these again! This was the most fun I’ve had watching your videos so far & I am SO here for it!!!
This movie was such a vibe in high school. Another Heath gem was The Patriot with Mel Gibson.. it’s a bit long but totally worth it. When he was cast as Joker, I had a flashback to this movie but did also consider The Patriot which was more dramatic for him.. but his Joker portrayal was such a nice surprise. He was fantastic. It’s just tragic that it was part of the reason he left us so young. Glad you enjoyed this!
some other rom-coms you might enjoy....how to lose a guy in 10 days, clueless, a lot like love, and even though it's not rom-com, i think you'd genuinely enjoy and be surprised at before sunrise and before sunset.
also some d-com's you might like that are underrated and just fun - jump ship, smart house, brink, alley cats strike, hounded, cadet kelly. the color of friendship and tru confessions need their own kind of d-com cateogry because those two are above and beyond. if you haven't seen them, you totally should
I was 14 when this came out. Watched this when I wasn't even into teen romcoms. But this movie was so good that it stuck with me all these years, until now in my late 30s. No other teen movie could compare.
This movie is brought to you by the same female comedic team that did Legally Blonde. As far as the colors, I think the film is supposed to start out with a dull and bland color grading. That way it’s all the more noticeable when they use the colors to convey emotion and the growth of the two sisters as they realize they are more alike than their preconceived notions led them to believe, bringing them closer together in a brighter and warmer canvas. There are teen comedies, and then there is art. This is the latter.
10TIHAY is my favorite film, not just my favorite RomCom. There's a reason it's listed by so many people as one of the movies that best defines them. I'm not sure if you knew, this movie is based on Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare, all the way down to the character names and plot line. I saw in the comments some people said Kat was based on Taming of the Shrew, but it doesn't stop there. Patrick Verona is Petruchio from Verona in the play. Bianca Stratford is Bianca in the play. In the play, Bianca's father forbids her from marrying before her sister Kat does. The line "I burn, I pine, I perish" spoken by Cameron in the movie is direct from the play, so you can see, there are lots of parallels.
I recommend Tru Confessions; it's more serious, subject matter-wise for a Disney original movie. Also, regarding this cast, Julia and Heath never dated. However, Julia and Joseph Gordon Levitt actually dated briefly while they filmed this movie.
We love a Julie Stiles movie! Sidenote: I'm a mother to two young daughters. Youngest will be in middle school next year and... Just pray for my husband and l😅 haha
i loved your reaction! i really enjoy your lighthearted but concious view. this is also one of my favourite teen movies. so thank you :) if you wanna do a disney reaction, maybe you havent seen "tangled"? i feel like that one did not get much attention but it is great! :) also while i'm on it (hope you're not annoyed by recommendations): "she's the man" is from 2006, has some classic tropes in it, but with fresh takes and good humor.
If you are looking for fun and silly I would def recommend the Zombies and Descendants series - both Disney Channel Original Movie trilogies. Neither are from my childhood, I watched them as an adult drunk and stoned. An experience!
33:39 Not sure if someone has mentioned this, but they only did one take during this scene. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours. You definitely earned a subscriber!
This is probably my second favourite teen movie after Ferris Bueller’s Day Off but sometimes it might be my number 1 Either way those are my top two favourite teen movies
I saw this in the theaters back when I was 14. I had just seen William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" performed at the local college by a Shakespearean troupe and read that the movie was inspired by "The Taming of the Shrew." I left with a massive crush on Heath Ledger. It's been recommended a lot, but you may like "A Knight's Tale" also featuring Heath Ledger. It's more of an action/buddy comedy and the romance is pretty lackluster, but you can see Alan Tudyk in one of the few roles when he wasn't playing the voice of a Disney animal.
I love that you loved this movie! I watch all your reactions and I would of course love if you watched some of the really iconic Disney channel movies. This was an awesome reaction, love this movie♥️ RIP Heath Ledger🙏💙
I got to say the Stratford dad is unintentionally hilarious all his stupid paranoid b******* is just hilarious my favorite line from him the couple of people have seen react to this never show and I'm like that sucks cuz I really like that line and I wonder how they reacted to it. You're not going out and getting jiggy with some boy I don't care how dope is ride is I put that almost as iconic as Joel the cameraman from scream 2s line 'hold up I don't need to be here in about no dead cameraman Imma go get me some coffee donuts Prozac see if I can find some crack special k x not Malcolm and I'll be back when y'all start talkin about something a little more saved by the Bellish aight'
Re watchable add to that I also many times she's all that, varsity blues, double add to that a most I watch many times is Can't Hardly Wait is was done so good plus it has many Buffy the Vampire Slayer extras and main leads in it it's my fave extra bonus is Being it On which has a Buffy the Vampire Slayer big bad boss villain in Bring it On Friday Night Lights too cause I live in Texas and I played high school football we went to state championship game lost on final touchdown our receiver David spiked the ball in celebration super fast that refs ruled incomplete passed when he actually caught it. But it was fun.
Have you seen Save The Last Dance? Julia plays the lead in that one too.

"God I went to the wrong high school... Sometimes I think that... Seeing movies like this..." That high school is one of the MOST PRESTIGIOUS schools in Seattle. Her dad is probably paying at least $100k in tuition!! I think that's where Bill Gates' kids actually went...
I was one of the few that didn’t have any concern with the Heath Ledger JOKER casting. I couldn’t picture him as the Joker but I liked him a lot as an actor in general and I knew he did something to blow away Christopher Nolan because basically every A list actor was rumored for that role and it was highly coveted yet he chose Heath. And in an interview Nolan said that Heath blew him away with his interpretation of Joker.

If anything, this movie confirms the choice. How can you have any doubts after this smile - 18:58?
Absolutely love this movie. Best 90s romcom. When Patrick didn't kiss Kat in the car, there were two good reasons: 1) she was drunk and 2) he was actively still betraying her trust by accepting money to show her interest. The kiss would have been an abuse of her trust and questionable consent.
Also she had just thrown up not that long ago.
@@knowledge-girl I doubt he was thinking of that.
some fun facts about this movie bc i love it so damn much…
1. kat’s big poem at the end is the first and only take they used in the final cut of the movie! it wasn’t even written in the script that kat cries while reading, julia just felt that and did it in the moment. the director even said that as soon as she started crying, he did too, because he was so moved by her acting.

I’m glad they didn’t go with “I Think I Love You,” because Jerry O’ Connell sang that to Neve Campbell in Scream 2, and it would have been less iconic on both fronts had it gone that way.
Julia Stiles was dating Joseph Gordon-Levitt though
And then she was getting her shit annihilated by Mekhi Pfeifer on camera within a year
@@markg1727Julia Stiles and modern Shakespeare adaptations, name a more iconic duo.

It was also Heath's only teen movie. He absolutely refused to do any others because he didn't want to get typecast.
"His natural speaking voice ... I thought I was straight." Loool
You've definitely got to watch A Knight's Tale (with Heath Ledger) at some point, it's super fun too
The high school was filmed at Stadium High School in Tacoma WA, and yes, it is a super cool building. You mentioned the lighting looked like it was overcast... well, it was Tacoma, so it probably was
Watch Save 'The Last Dance' drinking next! Its got your girl in it, with extra dancing on top!

Kat is literally an icon and the way I lived my teens trying to be a bad bish like her. She is the one and only role model
This is one of my favorites. I saw it in theaters when it came out, and now at 42, I love it just as much watching it with my 14 year old daughter.
The guy who threw the ball down on the pool table plays Bernard on Santa Clause with Tim Allen.
Not a 90’s movie, but a great comedy with great humour is the Proposal with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds! I just love this movie!
This one and Proposal are my favourite RomCom
This movie still holds up so well. I never really had crushes on celebrities as a teen. Then I saw this. Heath Ledger was so talented and charming. I was so so sad when he died. Everyone scoffed when he was cast as the Joker because he was a “teen heartthrob” in people’s minds. But he had such range, Two Hands, Candy, A Knight’s Tale, Brokeback Mountain!!
There were A LOT of teen romcoms in the late 90s/early 2000s, especially in 1999 (the year this came out) and some are great but this is just top tier.
Another one that I feel like gets slept on a lot is Get Over It. It's a fun one.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time and I rewatch it at least once a year!
The band he “called in a favor” for was Letters to Cleo.
They play at the prom (Cruel To Be Kind, Artist Nick Lowe) and then on the rooftop during the credits. (I Want You To Want Me, Cheap Trick)
Letter To Cleo were popular for their hit song “Here and Now” in 1994. Kay Hanley’s tongue twisting cadence and the song’s Pop Rock catchy feel, made the song quite unique and infectious.

1:40 “i thought i was straight” yuuup this is definitely one of those quintessential Bi Panic movies
I’m so glad you watched this! I love this movie so much. This movie is a bisexual’s dream ahaha. And really good character development and chemistry and great acting! Her poem near the end gets me every time 😢
Oh for similar movies you might like, I’d say Bend it Like Beckham. It’s not really a rom-com like this IMO but it’s really good and has some great early 2000 vibes~

Another fun one to stoke your Heath Ledger man-crush would be A Knights Tale :) Great reaction! Thanks for sharing
This was a core memory watching this for the first time in middle school! i have more and more fun watching it every time it’s the funniest romcom
definately one of the top rom coms out there. always gets me in the nostalgic feels.
It’s in Seattle,Washington and 10 Things I Hate About You was mainly shot at Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington
Can't Hardly Wait, Clueless, 50 First Dates, American Pie, Encino Man, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, Superbad...i could go on and on!
the fact that you know max keeble!! that movie was my childhood and whenever i bring it up pretty much no one knows what i'm talking about!!

When he was cast as Joker, I had a flashback to this movie but did also consider The Patriot which was more dramatic for him.. but his Joker portrayal was such a nice surprise. He was fantastic. It’s just tragic that it was part of the reason he left us so young.
Glad you enjoyed this!
A lot of 90’s teen comedies were based on Shakespeare and Jane Austin, like this is based on The Taming of the Shrew
Jawbreaker with Rose McGowan and a cameo from Marilyn Manson too
some other rom-coms you might enjoy....how to lose a guy in 10 days, clueless, a lot like love, and even though it's not rom-com, i think you'd genuinely enjoy and be surprised at before sunrise and before sunset.
also some d-com's you might like that are underrated and just fun - jump ship, smart house, brink, alley cats strike, hounded, cadet kelly. the color of friendship and tru confessions need their own kind of d-com cateogry because those two are above and beyond. if you haven't seen them, you totally should
I was 14 when this came out. Watched this when I wasn't even into teen romcoms. But this movie was so good that it stuck with me all these years, until now in my late 30s. No other teen movie could compare.
this is one of my favorite movies ever and i’m so glad it was appreciated!
This movie is brought to you by the same female comedic team that did Legally Blonde.
As far as the colors, I think the film is supposed to start out with a dull and bland color grading. That way it’s all the more noticeable when they use the colors to convey emotion and the growth of the two sisters as they realize they are more alike than their preconceived notions led them to believe, bringing them closer together in a brighter and warmer canvas.
There are teen comedies, and then there is art. This is the latter.
10TIHAY is my favorite film, not just my favorite RomCom. There's a reason it's listed by so many people as one of the movies that best defines them. I'm not sure if you knew, this movie is based on Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare, all the way down to the character names and plot line. I saw in the comments some people said Kat was based on Taming of the Shrew, but it doesn't stop there. Patrick Verona is Petruchio from Verona in the play. Bianca Stratford is Bianca in the play. In the play, Bianca's father forbids her from marrying before her sister Kat does. The line "I burn, I pine, I perish" spoken by Cameron in the movie is direct from the play, so you can see, there are lots of parallels.
I recommend Tru Confessions; it's more serious, subject matter-wise for a Disney original movie.
Also, regarding this cast, Julia and Heath never dated. However, Julia and Joseph Gordon Levitt actually dated briefly while they filmed this movie.
A Knight's Tale, that is THE movie when I fell in love with Heath Ledger
Welcome to the 90s! Grand gestures of love and saying whatever the hell is on your mind.
We love a Julie Stiles movie! Sidenote: I'm a mother to two young daughters. Youngest will be in middle school next year and... Just pray for my husband and l😅 haha
I've watched this movie more times than I can remember. Great movie. So good
34:00
If a girl read like that towards me I would dip out, last day for me, I wouldn't go to school or that class no more. That's too scary.
Well yeah, in real life it'd be one of those moments where you wish the ground would swallow you up! But in movieland its fine haha
i loved your reaction! i really enjoy your lighthearted but concious view. this is also one of my favourite teen movies. so thank you :)
if you wanna do a disney reaction, maybe you havent seen "tangled"? i feel like that one did not get much attention but it is great! :)
also while i'm on it (hope you're not annoyed by recommendations): "she's the man" is from 2006, has some classic tropes in it, but with fresh takes and good humor.
Heard you mention other Heath movies but didn't hear "A Knight's Tale" It is a great one as well.
I loved Julia Stiles since I first saw her on the tv series Ghostwriter in the early 90’’s
Fun fact, the writers of this movie also wrote Legally Blonde! If you haven't seen it, please check it out!
If you are looking for fun and silly I would def recommend the Zombies and Descendants series - both Disney Channel Original Movie trilogies. Neither are from my childhood, I watched them as an adult drunk and stoned. An experience!
She dated Joseph Gordon-Levitt which is part of the reason why started to cry during the poem
Whenever I’m having a bad day, this reaction always makes me laugh. You deserve way more subscribers!!
33:39 Not sure if someone has mentioned this, but they only did one take during this scene.
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours. You definitely earned a subscriber!
This is probably my second favourite teen movie after Ferris Bueller’s Day Off but sometimes it might be my number 1
Either way those are my top two favourite teen movies
It looks like a cloudy day
Setting of movie: Seattle,WA.
Feels realistic to me 🤷🏾♀️
I love this movie, and I love heath in everything, but Knights tale is just awesome! Definitely worth checking out!
Check out Alley Cats Strike,Johnny Tsunami,Brink, Mom’s Got a Date With A Vampire, Zenon and many others
I saw this in the theaters back when I was 14. I had just seen William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" performed at the local college by a Shakespearean troupe and read that the movie was inspired by "The Taming of the Shrew." I left with a massive crush on Heath Ledger.
It's been recommended a lot, but you may like "A Knight's Tale" also featuring Heath Ledger. It's more of an action/buddy comedy and the romance is pretty lackluster, but you can see Alan Tudyk in one of the few roles when he wasn't playing the voice of a Disney animal.
"Get over it" is a great 00s romcom. It's very similar.🔥🔥🔥
The reason all the girls are looking at him at club Skunk is because there are actually no guys there. So he stands out
This movie is based on Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew"
I love that you loved this movie! I watch all your reactions and I would of course love if you watched some of the really iconic Disney channel movies. This was an awesome reaction, love this movie♥️ RIP Heath Ledger🙏💙
I got to say the Stratford dad is unintentionally hilarious all his stupid paranoid b******* is just hilarious my favorite line from him the couple of people have seen react to this never show and I'm like that sucks cuz I really like that line and I wonder how they reacted to it. You're not going out and getting jiggy with some boy I don't care how dope is ride is I put that almost as iconic as Joel the cameraman from scream 2s line 'hold up I don't need to be here in about no dead cameraman Imma go get me some coffee donuts Prozac see if I can find some crack special k x not Malcolm and I'll be back when y'all start talkin about something a little more saved by the Bellish aight'
It gets funnier in hindsight. Heath Ledger's baby mama Michelle Williams got her start on "Dawson's Creek."
Re watchable add to that I also many times she's all that, varsity blues, double add to that a most I watch many times is Can't Hardly Wait is was done so good plus it has many Buffy the Vampire Slayer extras and main leads in it it's my fave extra bonus is Being it On which has a Buffy the Vampire Slayer big bad boss villain in Bring it On
Friday Night Lights too cause I live in Texas and I played high school football we went to state championship game lost on final touchdown our receiver David spiked the ball in celebration super fast that refs ruled incomplete passed when he actually caught it. But it was fun.
The story comes from Shakespeare who is one of the greatest writers of English literature
If you like heath ledger you gotta watch "a knight's tale" it's got a subtle parody aspect to it too
Based on Taming of the Shrew. It rhymes with 10 Things I hate About You
You should watch do revenge. It’s a super fun teen romcom that references a lot of 90s romcoms and has a lot of fun plot twists in it
I have watched this movie so many times…. How have I never noticed the guys just randomly eating cans of beans 😂
Great reaction! 13 Going on 30 is another fun romcom from the 2000's
Idk if you've seen it yet but Can't Hardly Wait is a great romcom, similar vibes
Have you seen Save The Last Dance? Julia plays the lead in that one too.
"God I went to the wrong high school... Sometimes I think that... Seeing movies like this..."
That high school is one of the MOST PRESTIGIOUS schools in Seattle. Her dad is probably paying at least $100k in tuition!! I think that's where Bill Gates' kids actually went...
More Heath Ledger movies for you to react to . Candy and two hands. They are both Australian moves where Heath came from
There are so many great romcoms in this era. Clueless comes to mind
I was one of the few that didn’t have any concern with the Heath Ledger JOKER casting. I couldn’t picture him as the Joker but I liked him a lot as an actor in general and I knew he did something to blow away Christopher Nolan because basically every A list actor was rumored for that role and it was highly coveted yet he chose Heath. And in an interview Nolan said that Heath blew him away with his interpretation of Joker.
who knew I would cry even watching a reaction of the sonnet scene lolol
This is my favorite movie. Let me just say you have beautiful hair.
I like how they made jokes about Kat in the classroom, today these people would be cancelled for just speaking their minds.
If you want a good Romcom to watch I recommend Girl Next Door it’s really good 🤙🏻
Omg bestie so ‘Star Struck’ Disney original movie it’s 10/10
If you haven’t watched ‘Sky High’ that’s a fun Disney original movie, it’s an entertaining concept
14:03 best line 😂😂
Between Heath Ledger and Brendan Fraser this period was thorougly Covered in the "wholesome and hot film stars" area.
