Jaw breaker and The Craft is total mean girl vibes. Please react to FROM season 1 (MGM+) by the same guys who did Lost, more people need to watch it. Season 2 is coming out on April 23.
I work at Barnes and Noble and I had a customer a young girl that said she heard that this movie was based on the book and if I knew what it was and I told her it’s actually Shakespeare taming of the shrew original story and the look of slow disappointment just came over her face 😂😂
The scene of Heath singing is why 90s girl love him before guys on dark knight. We saw him first! hahaha. Guys, put this on your 90s romcoms: Never Been Kissed. Thanks for being an awesome channel.
Fun fact: Julia's dance on the table is what got her cast in Save The Last Dance as the director realized she had natural talent. Another fantastic JGL movie to check out is 500 Days of Summer.
which...as someone that loves Julia Stiles but is a dancer: she doesn't have that much dance talent. Save the last dance is notorious for the horrible dance sequences where they cut her double and her incredibly stiff dancing together.
Heath Ledger was one of the best actors of his generation. His performances in this movie, "The Dark Knight", and "Brokeback Mountain" combine to make a masterclass in acting. I realize it may not be a film you would necessarily choose to react to, but "Brokeback Mountain" is definitely worth your time just to see his performance. It's a long, slow, sad story, but beautiful and unforgettable.
@BaddMedicine I think you guys would enjoy Heath in "A Knight's Tale"!!! Also Brokeback if you feel like being depressed forever and watching a piece of LGBT history. I personally can't watch that one anymore because I get too sad 😞
That reaction to the "keep him from licking his stitches" line was the best part of the whole video...... I loved the joke, but seeing you guys lose it made it infinitely funnier 🤣🤣
I agree with you. Every time I watch a movie with Heath Ledger in it, it's tinged with sadness. He was such an incredible talent and had so much more to do in life. :(
To be fair to Cameron (JGL's character), I never understood his comments in the car being the typical "I did nice things for you, so now you owe me a romantic relationship" nonsense. It was more that she lead him on and used him. He asked her out, she explained her situation, he proposed a solution (finding a guy to date Kat), and she responded all flirty, "You'd do that for me?" She was purposefully making it seem like she wanted to date him, in order to get him to do those things, when she never actually had any interest. That's what I always understood him to be complaining about. That's why when he asked if she'd always been that selfish, she didn't even protest. She recognized herself that that's what she'd been doing.
The building in the movie used for a high school "that looks like Hogwarts" is in fact a REAL HIGH SCHOOL in Tacoma WA. its Stadium high school. I am from the area and it's a pride of the community. It was originally built to be a fancy hotel, but pacific railroad (who owned it at the time of building) ran out of money to finish it properly, so they stopped building it. it sat empty for a few years until the school district bought it and turned it into a high school. the rest as they say, "is history".
I'm a Tacoma native myself, graduated from Bellarmine in 85. The football field is also the actual field that was originally designed as an outdoor amphitheater. Unfortunately, it was closed for many years due to a landslide on the water side (it's a steep drop-off on that end). I believe it was repaired, but I'm not sure.
Of course one can't help but think of the Joker when Heath Ledger comes up, but first thought is always A Knight's Tale. I could watch that movie anytime, it's just so darn fun.
Agreed. I mean, I love Dark Knight and he was a phenomenal Joker, but I grew up with him doing teen films first and 10 things and Knights Tale will always take the top for me. Every role he played he was fantastic. All of his movies are worth watching.
This is one of those films that you kind of assume is just a regular romcom, but the more you watch, it’s the supporting cast that truly elevate this movie. The principal, the dad, the teacher, they don’t have that much screen time, but omg, what they bring to the scene is always Chef’s Kiss perfection! Love that you guys gave this one a chance, and that it had you rollin🙌🏼😂💖
This has been one of my favorites since it came out when I was a kid. It was also the movie that started my crush on Heath Ledger lol. Love that it's a retelling of Shakespeare and the music is awesome too. 💕
I forgot how funny this movie actually is. It has been years since I last watched it. Also, petition to see pictures of 90s Oak in his khaki suit and black shirt, say I? 😅
A lot of people don't know that this is an adaptation of Taming of the Shrew (Like the way Clueless is an adaptation of Emma by Jane Austen). Great cast. Love your reactions!
I’m still waiting for someone to do Pride and Prejudice as a High School Movie. I love this movie and Clue and have long thought that the class dynamics in P&P would translate well to high school cliches.
@@timhibbard4226 There must be some. Seems like a weird oversight if there wasn't. If they can turn Hamlet into a Disney movie about Savanna animals...
This is my favorite 90s teen movie as a teen. As an adult, it's still a favorite. This movie introduced me to Heath Ledger, and watching it now is heartbreaking. Julia Stiles is great in this. I love her in The Bourne movies and the latest The Orphan movies. I also grew up watching Joseph Gordon-Levitt from 3rd Rock From the Sun and I'm glad he’s become a prominent actor. Also, Gabrielle Union went on to make a name for herself. I truly love this movie. The ending made me cry back then and it still makes me cry today. We need more movies like these.
Now we need that picture of Oak in a gray suit 🤣 loved your reaction, your insight on the "nice guy" thing, you are gentlemen and we need more of you out there in the world. As always, loved the comments you add at the end and I can't wait to see more next week😎
Looking back, I really love all these characters. Each is flawed, manipulative to some extent, and a touch narcissistic - but these are high school kids. They aren't exactly known for stellar choices and brilliant decision making, they're kids. Cameron probably should have gotten at least some comeuppance for being the spark for all this. All over getting a girl. Then again, Cameron and Bianca are kind of the perfect for each other little scheming couple and I see that working out for them as characters.
For two decades I've avoided this movie like the plague. I had to pause watching your reaction, watch the movie itself, and come back here. It was such a fun. Thanks!
Watching you lose it at the "licking his stitches" bit was so good I had to watch it twice. I also haven't seen this movie in forever, I forgot how funny it was.
I love love love this movie and your guys’ reaction to it! I especially loved the take after Patrick said, “maybe we should do this another time” when she wanted to kiss him after she’d been drinking. It was 100% the Right thing to do, I love that you guys know that. While it’s bonkers to me that he had to bend over backwards to win her back over after doing the right thing, I’ll always be grateful for the “Can’T Take My Eyes Off Of You” scene 😍
Gabrielle Union looks almost the same 25 years later. Also, I want a spinoff with the dad, the teacher and the Allison Janney's character lol. May Heath RIP.
this was always one of my daughter's favorite movies as a teen and I swear I have the dialogue memorized from how many times she watched it. Now to watch you three just laughing and laughing over it is one of the best things ever!!! This is a fantastic reaction!!!
I loved that y’all loved this movie! The one thing I have to say about the car scene is that he was upset not that she wasn’t reciprocating his feelings but that she deceived him to get a what she wanted from him. She still doesn’t owe him anything but she was in the wrong for what she did and he was allowed to feel upset about it. What makes him an actual nice guy is that even though he was upset, he still helped her and drove her home.
Loved seeing how much fun you guys were having and how much the Shakespeare scene sent you guys 😂 I've never seen you guys laugh so hard, it made rewatching this classic you guys so much better!!!
Another great, older, iconic Heath movie is 'A Knight's Tale'. It was one of my sister and my's favorite growing up, that's how we first knew him along with this movie. He was probably both of our first celebrity loves. He was such a talent and so versatile and I think you guys would have so much fun and really like that movie, it's very staple Heath.
That uncontrollable laughter you guys have from 25:36 is so contagious! 🤣 My stomach is aching from laughing too much LOL. Always loved watching your reactions.
Remember when this came out right when I was about to enter high school. Was kind of a relief to have a movie with normal characters who all had quirks. Was kind of a relief. As a teen who had a hard time even pretending to give a f about half of the stuff I was involved with every day the Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger roles were kind of a relief. Coming out of the crushing conformity of middle school...this movie felt needed at the time. Loved her honesty in the breakdown scene at the end. It's based on Shakespeare so it had that degree of timelessness...but is also the most late 90's thing imaginable. Good stuff.
The dad character is the best; I also have two daughters. This was my best friend's favorite movie back in middle school so I ended up watching it at her house *a lot*, and I know the words and inflection of every line even 20+ years later.
Knowing that this is an updated version of William Shakespeare’s comedy “Taming of the Shrew” just makes it so much more fun. It’s campy and entertaining. Heath Ledger in this movie shows the beginnings of his incredible legacy. He’s still missed. I absolutely enjoyed y’alls reactions to this! It’s really a lot of fun!
I just want to say your laughs alone throughout this movie could cure depression, you guys have such infectious personalities, that just makes everyone feel so elated, your "my lady" & 25:16 reaction gave me endless laughs & smiles, 1 of my favourite videos of yours yet! You guys truly are amazing! Never change, keep being the wonderful people you are & we very much appreciate you for making such a positive impact on our lives! Much love! ❤ Definitely will rewatch this again! Also in response to Quinn asking who the band is playing there, I think it was 'The Cardigans'.
🤣Omg, I love how much y'all loved this. I was a freshman when this came out and it was perfect at portraying all the insecurities and emotions that teenagers go through. There was an explosion of teen movies between '98 and '02ish (hence the need for Not Another Teen Movie, lol). So many great ones, but this one is my all-time favorite. The cast, the writing, everything. It honestly surprised me how much y'all laughed at the stitches joke, which made me laugh even more. I'll suggest it again, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies if you're willing to check out a crazy twist on the classic. High stakes, badass women, gore, battles, and lots of verbal *and* physical sparring 😏. I recently showed it to my friend, who was extremely skeptical, and within the first 10 minutes, she was loving it. Another great one is Warm Bodies. Great cast and writing.
Movies like this made me excited for high school. However my own high school experience wasn’t the greatest.. but I still enjoy rewatching and reliving my childhood.
This film was based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and it was literally yesterday when I saw someone else do a reaction to it that I realised the surnames Stratford (where Shakespeare was born) and Verona (where a lot of his plays, including Romeo and Juliet) are set
It's Padua High School and Padua is where the play took place. Patrick is an attempt at Petruchio which was the name of the male lead in the play. If you say the title fast enough, it almost sounds like "The Taming of the Shrew."
So glad you enjoyed this - a gem amongst the usual rocky offerings of its time! Supporting cast were great, but Heath and Julia still shone! Great job!
@@ct6852 She was the star of a Nickelodeon show (The Secret World of Alex Mack) prior to this movie. She also played Joseph Gordon-Levitt's girlfriend for a couple seasons on 3rd Rock from the Sun.
I love this movie! Rewatch it all the time I was in highschool when this came out and is very accurate to highschool life 😅 plus the soundtrack brings back so many memories!
The two bands are Letters to Cleo, and Save Ferris. The lead singer of Letters to Cleo is the singing voice of Josie in the Josie & the Pussycats movie.
i just rewatched this recently on a whim and here you guys are reading my mind! one of the very best modern-day shakespeare adaptations. and y'all howling with laughter every 30 seconds was VERY enjoyable, thank you so much! ❤
this has been my favorite movie since i was in high school and seeing you guys enjoy it so much is everything 😭i could watch it over and over, it never gets old
I'm so glad you picked up on the Nice Guy thing at the end. I love this film so much - I watched it all the time as a teen and still think it's such a brilliant teen comedy. But, yeah, the one thing we can recognise now is that JGL's Nice Guy rant in the car doesn't age well. I saw you making a note during that scene and wondered if you were going to address it and I'm so glad you did. Really enjoying your channel, guys. I love hearing your opinions and the discussions you have at the end. And I'm really liking the fact that you're watching movies you wouldn't usually have chosen to watch. Can't wait to see what's next!
I love how the Oak brought up Pride & Prejudice. This was actually a modern day take on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew”. The screenwriters for it got the idea after the success of the movie Clueless, which was a modern take on another one of Jane Austen‘s novels “Emma“. I’m glad you guys liked it! And rest in peace, Heath Ledger. 💙💙💙
These teen rom-coms based on classic literature were really popular around this time. There was also "Shes all that" based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion and "Cruel Intentions" was based on Dangerous Liasons to name a couple more.
@@marianne5055 I’m really glad that you brought up Pygmalion because you made me think of something. It almost seems like these things happen in cycles. Since Pygmalion was the inspiration for My Fair Lady and Romeo and Juliet was the inspiration for West Side Story. And both of those huge hits were back in the 60s. This is kind of making me sad. It really is starting to feel like there are no more new ideas for stories/movies/entertainment. Everything is just somehow recycled from previous stories whether it’s a blatant copy or a round about adaptation. Anyway, thanks for the reply! That was very cool of you! 💙💙💙
I owned a salon right next to that high school. It’s called Stadium High School. It’s just like that. It’s amazing! Love your reactions! One of my favorite movies and I graduated in the 90’s ❤
An extremely well made adaptation of Shakespeare who is himself one of the greatest storytellers ever. The casting is perfect. Everyone does their part so well. The comedy is great, the timing is great. It's one of the perfect 90s films. Outside of Mean Girls, this is one of the most quottable films.
I love you guys reacting to movies I love that seem like they should be out of your genres just on stereotypes. I hope you keep popping up in my recs for movies I love in the future. As to your request - my sister and I couldn't be much more different and this was indeed a lot like our relationship. For reference, though, I graduated high school in 1996. I identified with Kat so hard 😂 And my little sister didn't have Bianca's popularity, but she was definitely the socialite. We drifted for a while in her college years, but even then she'd drop in when she was in town. Now our parents are both gone and we're close - live in the same town just to have family near. This was the only movie I loved that I ever tried to show my mom and had her put down what she was doing to give it her full attention. Fond memories.
Honestly Heath was such a legend, he played this type of idk "american heart throb" type and then he also did Joker pretty much perfectly. Everytime I see one of his movies I wonder what other movies he would made given the chance.
Heath absolutely refused to do another teen movie after this one because he didn't want to get typecast as the heartthrob. I was so disappointed 😅 Was such a fan from all the way back to his first project (Roar) and my mom and I went to see A Knight's Tale in theater five times, but he lost me when he started doing the artsy Monster Ball type stuff... but I am glad he had the kind of career he wanted.
My daughter graduated from this high school. It’s called “Stadium” in Tacoma Washington. Looks out over the Luger sound. They had a plaque dedicated to Heath Ledger after his tragic death. Was fun to walk along the same areas. The parking lot. The field. The “bowl” as they called it where he sang her that song.
Yesss, I love this movie. It's one of my favorites that I love to rewatch and just enjoy. Love Julia and this was the first time I saw Heath Ledger. Now my 15 yr old son stops and starts singing along when Heath is singing when I'm watching it, it's one of those movies he will hang out and watch with me for awhile.
Yeah in all honesty, every time I watch this movie my heart always hurts a little seeing Heath, but he was great in this and the movie is so much fun. Strong rewatch value 😄💞
You guys killed this one 😂 One thing! You guys seemed worried about the paddling on the water, but it’s not the ocean, it’s probably Lake Union 😊 We paddle and go on that lake all the time!
They were paddle boating on Lake Union, just north of downtown Seattle, Gasworks Park was the site of the paintball, on the north end of Lake Union, which is only around a mile long and half a mile wide, fresh water.
Stadium High School in Tacoma, was originally constructed to be a Luxury Hotel by the Northern Pacific Railroad, as Tacoma was the west coast terminus, but a financial panic stopped construction and Tacoma Schools purchased and completed construction, after a fire.
Man I love you guys watching movies like this that are solid without having been A-list premier stuff that has been covered to death elsewhere. It's refreshing! EDIT: I have to add that The Oak talking about Nice Guy syndrome and the problem with its transactional nature is so spot on. And I also agree it wasn't as noted as the issue it can be back in the 90's.
I’m not sure if you guys have seen it, but if you’re feeling more Heath Ledger, you should DEFINITELY check out “A Knight’s Tale” (it’s another one with a Hollywood who’s who for casting)
I love this movie but I forget just HOW much I love it until I see it pop up again. It was the first film I saw Heath Ledger in and I knew he was gonna be somebody. Followed his career from that point on and was heartbroken when he died. Such a talent and I feel like the world was robbed of his potential. I'm so saddened for his daughter because you know he would have loved the hell out of her and been an awesome dad. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel watching 3 dudes react to one of my favourite films but damn you guys were hilarious. Its great that you enjoyed it so much too and appreciated it for the 90s romcom it is. Thanks for the laughs!
I said it before and I'll say it again! You guys are my favorite channel to watch reactions to...One because we're the same group and men lol but Mostly I get to enjoy sort of re watching these movies that I haven't seen in year with you and laugh at the reactions you guys have. You guys are awesome keep'em coming!
This movie is one of my absolute favourites. I’m also a huge Heath Ledger fan so it’s pretty bitter sweet whenever I watch it. I love listening to all of Oak’s stories 💜 if it’s not already on your list, The Intern (2015) is a really good one too
This was a fun watch. I definitely remember seeing this in theaters a very fun movie. Great reaction fellas can’t wait to see more. Keep up the hustle 🫶🏽🎉
I was a year old when this movie came out. It’s one of my favorite movies. So many quotable lines and still funny every time I watch! So glad you guys enjoyed this movie!
This was a lot of fun! Can't believe we haven't seen it until now. Comedy was great and cast was awesome! What was your reaction? What did we miss? What are some of you 90's movie favorites?

This is one of my all time favorites. I'm not much into Rom-Coms. And yes, it's hard watching with Heath Ledger being gone.

So true! I was a teen when this came out, and all i wanted in life was a Jewel CD, a jean jacket and Heath Ledger!

Love Save the Last Dance. It was parodied in Not Another Dance Flick, which like every Wayans picture, is hit or miss, but with some genuine yucks.
Highly recommend The Lookout with Joseph Gordon Levitt. He's a pretty amazing actor.
Now I want to watch you guys watch A Knight's Tale. Another iconic Heath Ledger film from the same time with a fantastic cast
Such an under appreciated GEM 🤌🏽
One of my favorite things is the look on folks’ faces when they realize that the Joker, Robert Baratheon, Vision, and Wash made a movie together 😂

When I first fell in love with Heath Ledger. This is cemented nostalgia for me!😂❤
Rip to the legend.
Gabrielle Union looks almost the same 25 years later.
Also, I want a spinoff with the dad, the teacher and the Allison Janney's character lol.
May Heath RIP.
this was always one of my daughter's favorite movies as a teen and I swear I have the dialogue memorized from how many times she watched it. Now to watch you three just laughing and laughing over it is one of the best things ever!!! This is a fantastic reaction!!!
I loved that y’all loved this movie!
The one thing I have to say about the car scene is that he was upset not that she wasn’t reciprocating his feelings but that she deceived him to get a what she wanted from him. She still doesn’t owe him anything but she was in the wrong for what she did and he was allowed to feel upset about it.
What makes him an actual nice guy is that even though he was upset, he still helped her and drove her home.
Loved seeing how much fun you guys were having and how much the Shakespeare scene sent you guys 😂 I've never seen you guys laugh so hard, it made rewatching this classic you guys so much better!!!
Another great, older, iconic Heath movie is 'A Knight's Tale'. It was one of my sister and my's favorite growing up, that's how we first knew him along with this movie. He was probably both of our first celebrity loves. He was such a talent and so versatile and I think you guys would have so much fun and really like that movie, it's very staple Heath.
That uncontrollable laughter you guys have from 25:36 is so contagious! 🤣 My stomach is aching from laughing too much LOL. Always loved watching your reactions.
The band that was playing in the club was "Letters to Cleo" I LOVED them back in the day!
I love this movie, but hands down the best part of this video was the roaring hysterical laughter coming from you guys the entire time.
Remember when this came out right when I was about to enter high school. Was kind of a relief to have a movie with normal characters who all had quirks. Was kind of a relief. As a teen who had a hard time even pretending to give a f about half of the stuff I was involved with every day the Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger roles were kind of a relief. Coming out of the crushing conformity of middle school...this movie felt needed at the time. Loved her honesty in the breakdown scene at the end. It's based on Shakespeare so it had that degree of timelessness...but is also the most late 90's thing imaginable. Good stuff.
The dad character is the best; I also have two daughters. This was my best friend's favorite movie back in middle school so I ended up watching it at her house *a lot*, and I know the words and inflection of every line even 20+ years
later.
Knowing that this is an updated version of William Shakespeare’s comedy “Taming of the Shrew” just makes it so much more fun. It’s campy and entertaining. Heath Ledger in this movie shows the beginnings of his incredible legacy. He’s still missed. I absolutely enjoyed y’alls reactions to this! It’s really a lot of fun!
I just want to say your laughs alone throughout this movie could cure depression, you guys have such infectious personalities, that just makes everyone feel so elated, your "my lady" & 25:16 reaction gave me endless laughs & smiles, 1 of my favourite videos of yours yet! You guys truly are amazing! Never change, keep being the wonderful people you are & we very much appreciate you for making such a positive impact on our lives! Much love! ❤
Definitely will rewatch this again!
Also in response to Quinn asking who the band is playing there, I think it was 'The Cardigans'.
Massive thanks for the super! And The Cardigans are a classic!
You're welcome! ❤ & indeed they are! 'Lovefool' & 'My Favourite Game' are great songs! 🎵🎶
Oh, The Oak!!!!! I just want to give you a hug!!!!!
Y’all were cracking up. Love this movie 😂
This was a great surprise
🤣Omg, I love how much y'all loved this. I was a freshman when this came out and it was perfect at portraying all the insecurities and emotions that teenagers go through. There was an explosion of teen movies between '98 and '02ish (hence the need for Not Another Teen Movie, lol). So many great ones, but this one is my all-time favorite. The cast, the writing, everything. It honestly surprised me how much y'all laughed at the stitches joke, which made me laugh even more.
I'll suggest it again, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies if you're willing to check out a crazy twist on the classic. High stakes, badass women, gore, battles, and lots of verbal *and* physical sparring 😏. I recently showed it to my friend, who was extremely skeptical, and within the first 10 minutes, she was loving it. Another great one is Warm Bodies. Great cast and writing.
Movies like this made me excited for high school. However my own high school experience wasn’t the greatest.. but I still enjoy rewatching and reliving my childhood.
This film was based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and it was literally yesterday when I saw someone else do a reaction to it that I realised the surnames Stratford (where Shakespeare was born) and Verona (where a lot of his plays, including Romeo and Juliet) are set
I’ve always liked all the Shakespeare Easter eggs in the film..
It's Padua High School and Padua is where the play took place. Patrick is an attempt at Petruchio which was the name of the male lead in the play. If you say the title fast enough, it almost sounds like "The Taming of the Shrew."
So glad you enjoyed this - a gem amongst the usual rocky offerings of its time! Supporting cast were great, but Heath and Julia still shone! Great job!
The younger sister looks soooo familiar. But can't remember why?
@@ct6852 She was the star of a Nickelodeon show (The Secret World of Alex Mack) prior to this movie. She also played Joseph Gordon-Levitt's girlfriend for a couple seasons on 3rd Rock from the Sun.
@@krayzy932 Yes!! Was thinking maybe it was a Disney Channel thing but you're right. Remember JGL from Halloween H20 as well.
SUCH A CLASSIC love this movie so so much :D we all miss Heath a lot !
This movie was so formative for me. I am so glad it aged so well and I can still enjoy it as much as I did when I was young.
I love this movie! Rewatch it all the time
I was in highschool when this came out and is very accurate to highschool life 😅 plus the soundtrack brings back so many memories!
This movie is a lot funnier than I remember. I need to watch this again.
I still pop in this vhs from time to time !! A great movie 💙💙with the late and great heath ledger
“Lord of the dance” 🕺🏽 ha I love the party scene
The two bands are Letters to Cleo, and Save Ferris.
The lead singer of Letters to Cleo is the singing voice of Josie in the Josie & the Pussycats movie.
i just rewatched this recently on a whim and here you guys are reading my mind! one of the very best modern-day shakespeare adaptations. and y'all howling with laughter every 30 seconds was VERY enjoyable, thank you so much! ❤
this has been my favorite movie since i was in high school and seeing you guys enjoy it so much is everything 😭i could watch it over and over, it never gets old
I'm so glad you picked up on the Nice Guy thing at the end. I love this film so much - I watched it all the time as a teen and still think it's such a brilliant teen comedy. But, yeah, the one thing we can recognise now is that JGL's Nice Guy rant in the car doesn't age well. I saw you making a note during that scene and wondered if you were going to address it and I'm so glad you did. Really enjoying your channel, guys. I love hearing your opinions and the discussions you have at the end. And I'm really liking the fact that you're watching movies you wouldn't usually have chosen to watch. Can't wait to see what's next!
I love how the Oak brought up Pride & Prejudice. This was actually a modern day take on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew”. The screenwriters for it got the idea after the success of the movie Clueless, which was a modern take on another one of Jane Austen‘s novels “Emma“. I’m glad you guys liked it! And rest in peace, Heath Ledger. 💙💙💙
These teen rom-coms based on classic literature were really popular around this time. There was also "Shes all that" based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion and "Cruel Intentions" was based on Dangerous Liasons to name a couple more.
@@marianne5055 I’m really glad that you brought up Pygmalion because you made me think of something. It almost seems like these things happen in cycles. Since Pygmalion was the inspiration for My Fair Lady and Romeo and Juliet was the inspiration for West Side Story. And both of those huge hits were back in the 60s. This is kind of making me sad. It really is starting to feel like there are no more new ideas for stories/movies/entertainment. Everything is just somehow recycled from previous stories whether it’s a blatant copy or a round about adaptation. Anyway, thanks for the reply! That was very cool of you! 💙💙💙
@@gippywhite And Romeo and Juliet was inspiered by the oriental tale "Layla and Machnu".
I owned a salon right next to that high school. It’s called Stadium High School. It’s just like that. It’s amazing! Love your reactions! One of my favorite movies and I graduated in the 90’s ❤
An extremely well made adaptation of Shakespeare who is himself one of the greatest storytellers ever. The casting is perfect. Everyone does their part so well. The comedy is great, the timing is great. It's one of the perfect 90s films. Outside of Mean Girls, this is one of the most quottable films.
I love you guys reacting to movies I love that seem like they should be out of your genres just on stereotypes. I hope you keep popping up in my recs for movies I love in the future.
As to your request - my sister and I couldn't be much more different and this was indeed a lot like our relationship. For reference, though, I graduated high school in 1996. I identified with Kat so hard 😂 And my little sister didn't have Bianca's popularity, but she was definitely the socialite. We drifted for a while in her college years, but even then she'd drop in when she was in town. Now our parents are both gone and we're close - live in the same town just to have family near.
This was the only movie I loved that I ever tried to show my mom and had her put down what she was doing to give it her full attention. Fond memories.
Honestly Heath was such a legend, he played this type of idk "american heart throb" type and then he also did Joker pretty much perfectly. Everytime I see one of his movies I wonder what other movies he would made given the chance.
Heath absolutely refused to do another teen movie after this one because he didn't want to get typecast as the heartthrob. I was so disappointed 😅 Was such a fan from all the way back to his first project (Roar) and my mom and I went to see A Knight's Tale in theater five times, but he lost me when he started doing the artsy Monster Ball type stuff... but I am glad he had the kind of career he wanted.
@@perfectkismet man i love knights tale!
My daughter graduated from this high school. It’s called “Stadium” in Tacoma Washington. Looks out over the Luger sound. They had a plaque dedicated to Heath Ledger after his tragic death. Was fun to walk along the same areas. The parking lot. The field. The “bowl” as they called it where he sang her that song.
Puget. Sound. Lol.
Yesss, I love this movie. It's one of my favorites that I love to rewatch and just enjoy. Love Julia and this was the first time I saw Heath Ledger. Now my 15 yr old son stops and starts singing along when Heath is singing when I'm watching it, it's one of those movies he will hang out and watch with me for awhile.
Class of 2000. Saw this in the theater. What a classic. My daughter's now are still too young to appreciate it.
Yeah in all honesty, every time I watch this movie my heart always hurts a little seeing Heath, but he was great in this and the movie is so much fun. Strong rewatch value 😄💞
omg yes !!!! perfect after my shitty day lol, this is literally my all time favorite movie and i always love your reactions !!
You guys killed this one 😂 One thing! You guys seemed worried about the paddling on the water, but it’s not the ocean, it’s probably Lake Union 😊 We paddle and go on that lake all the time!
They were paddle boating on Lake Union, just north of downtown Seattle, Gasworks Park was the site of the paintball, on the north end of Lake Union, which is only around a mile long and half a mile wide, fresh water.
This is such a classic, glad to hear you guys laugh the whole way through!
Stadium High School in Tacoma, was originally constructed to be a Luxury Hotel by the Northern Pacific Railroad, as Tacoma was the west coast terminus, but a financial panic stopped construction and Tacoma Schools purchased and completed construction, after a fire.
"It's gonna be fun to watch it and remember where we were in 1999"... I was about to be born. Damn time flies.
OMG.. One of my all time favs and BADD MEDICINE reacting?? I have 💀and gone to movie reaction heaven! Gotta say it for Dave: BEARDOWN!!! ❤
Man I love you guys watching movies like this that are solid without having been A-list premier stuff that has been covered to death elsewhere. It's refreshing!
EDIT: I have to add that The Oak talking about Nice Guy syndrome and the problem with its transactional nature is so spot on. And I also agree it wasn't as noted as the issue it can be back in the 90's.
I’ve never seen Oak completely face down laughing 🤣🤣
I’m not sure if you guys have seen it, but if you’re feeling more Heath Ledger, you should DEFINITELY check out “A Knight’s Tale” (it’s another one with a Hollywood who’s who for casting)
I love this movie but I forget just HOW much I love it until I see it pop up again. It was the first film I saw Heath Ledger in and I knew he was gonna be somebody. Followed his career from that point on and was heartbroken when he died. Such a talent and I feel like the world was robbed of his potential. I'm so saddened for his daughter because you know he would have loved the hell out of her and been an awesome dad.
I wasn't sure how I was going to feel watching 3 dudes react to one of my favourite films but damn you guys were hilarious. Its great that you enjoyed it so much too and appreciated it for the 90s romcom it is. Thanks for the laughs!
I said it before and I'll say it again! You guys are my favorite channel to watch reactions to...One because we're the same group and men lol but Mostly I get to enjoy sort of re watching these movies that I haven't seen in year with you and laugh at the reactions you guys have.
You guys are awesome keep'em coming!
This is the Shakespeare plot to taming of the shrew ❤️ I also graduated in 98 🖖 thanks for all your reactions guys 🍿🍿🍿👏
That poem gets me every damn time 😭
My sister was a senior when I was a sophomore and she drove me to school every day. She told everyone we were neighbors.
This movie is one of my absolute favourites. I’m also a huge Heath Ledger fan so it’s pretty bitter sweet whenever I watch it. I love listening to all of Oak’s stories 💜 if it’s not already on your list, The Intern (2015) is a really good one too
I was planning on watching something else and came on youtube to do that but saw this was posted and had to put it on, one of my fav movies!
Awww you guys should definitely give “The Four Brothers” a watch highly underrated gem !
That's actually on the list
@@BaddMedicine 👏🏽👏🏽
This was a fun watch. I definitely remember seeing this in theaters a very fun movie. Great reaction fellas can’t wait to see more. Keep up the hustle 🫶🏽🎉
The Oak looks hilarious in that thumbnail 😂😂😂
I was a year old when this movie came out. It’s one of my favorite movies. So many quotable lines and still funny every time I watch! So glad you guys enjoyed this movie!
Wow, that joke at 25:18 really had you three in stitches, didn't it?
I'll see myself out.
