This is the version by surrealist Luis Buñuel, which is surprisingly enough a most conventional film.

If there’s anything that will bore me fast, it is a love story. This is especially true when the love story takes place between two high school kids. But, I will admit, the movie 10 Things I Hate About You isn�t too bad.
