    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Based on "The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare.
    • Goofs
      The final scene, where the two ride off on horseback, is supposed to take place in Chicago, yet two Los Angeles County MTA buses are seen passing by.
    • Quotes

      Oscar: I don't understand you. Why do you have to be so GODDAMNED UNCOMPROMISING?

      Eva: It's called principle, Oscar. Maybe the world is in short supply, but I am NOT. See, people pay their tax dollars for MY PRINCIPLE so they can go into a restaurant and not eat chicken-fried RAT, or bite into a bacon, lettuce and tomaine sandwich. If I slack up on you then I have to cut EVERYONE a break. And pretty soon, the almonds on you salad have LEGS. If that makes me UNCOMPROMISING, then I wear it as a badge of honor cuz I'm in DAMN GOOD COMPANY! Martin Luther King was uncompromising, Nelson Mandela was uncompromising, and I'm sure your MOTHER was uncompromising, although the evidence of that is not apparent today. So... why don't you think of me as your Mom right now. And Momma says, "CLEAN IT UP!"

      Eva: [after shocking Oscar] See you in 48 hours.

    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits, there's a scene where the male hairdresser Telly talks on the phone with his girlfriend. He's only pretending to be gay.

    6/10
    Nice Movie Overall
    Another movie base on William Shakespeare - The Taming of the Shrew but this time a black and older people version. (No racism intended)

    Three Friends hired Ray to escort Eva, so that she would be out of their marriage life after she influence too much on their wife.

    Though I have seen this in Ten Things I Hate About You, I still very much enjoying this movie and somewhat surpass my expectation. LL Cool J is great here and the flow of the movie is just right.

    Overall this is a good adaptation.

    Recommendation: If You Are Over 25 Watch This, Younger Watch 10 Things I Hate About You.

    Rating: 6.5/10 (Grade: C+)
