It is going to kill me a little bit to admit to this but:
’10 Things I Hate About You’ isn’t really the ugly duckling gets transformed movie model you’re looking for. It’s a ‘Taming of the Shrew’ analogue so the girl is beautiful from the start but mean, until she discovers her inner femininity by falling in love with the hooker hired by the boy who wants to fuck her sister.

Ahhhhh teen romance.

It’s not an “ugly duckling” in terms of plot, but it does have a “tough girl sure cleans up purdy” scene at the end. Admittedly, Rochelle has more tattoos than Julia Stiles, but the basic principle holds.

Also, of course ’10 Things I Hate About You’ is utterly fucked up. It’s based on Shakespeare.

10 Things I Hate about You, Get Over It, O, She’s the Man…

I’m holding out for the teen movie adaptation of Titus Andronicus.

I still think we need to see Shakespeare in the original Klingon.

That’s not on YouTube already? How is that even possible?

Shakespeare in Klingon is so 90s. Nowadays it’s Tom Stoppard in High Elvish.
