10 Things I Hate About You
At 57%, 10 Things I Hate About You is among the better-performing films on BingeBracket. The final is where its record starts to slip — a pattern consistent enough across tournaments to define it. A high school Shakespeare adaptation that outlived every teen film of its era. Ledger's performance and the rooftop poem scene give it emotional ammunition most comedies lack. Supporters decide in 1.4s. Opponents linger at 3.9s — rejecting it costs more thought than choosing it.
Synopsis
On the first day at his new school, Cameron instantly falls for Bianca, 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 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 with a nasty reputation of his own.
The 31-point drop from semis to finals defines 10 Things I Hate About You's bracket identity. It builds momentum through the middle rounds and runs into a ceiling when the competition narrows to the best.
The Proposal is the easy matchup at 80%. When Harry Met Sally... is the kryptonite at 10%. The gap between best and worst opponent says a lot about what 10 Things I Hate About You can and can't handle.
10 Things I Hate About You handles Notting Hill in the semis but can't get past When Harry Met Sally... in the final (10%). The tournament nemesis is clear.
