10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU:
In the first scene of 10 Things I Hate About You, Cameron, a new student at Padua High, is seated in the office of the eccentric guidance counselor, Ms. Perky. The scene is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play “The Taming of the Shrew.” He then takes Michael, who will grow to be his best friend with romantic, on a tour of the school. The first time Cameron sees Bianca Stratford, a stunning sophomore with one restriction—she isn’t permitted to date—is on his tour.
And neither is Katarina, her “shrew” sister, a senior who despises convention, loves indie rock, and feminist literature. However, Bianca’s father changes his home rules such that Kat must also go on a date before Bianca is allowed to date. Cameron must now locate a date with Bianca in order to do so.
In order to deceive him into believing that he will get to take Bianca out if he pays someone to kill Kat, Michael assists him in recruiting pretty-boy/jerk/model Joey Donner. Patrick Verona, a bad kid with a murky history who is said to have once eaten a live duck, set a state trooper on fire, and even had a brief pornographic career, was his choice. Will Kat fall in love with Patrick? Can Cameron defeat Bianca’s? Or will everything just blow up?

THE 40-YEARS OLD VERGIN:
A forty-year-old The prototypical geek, Andy, works as a shipping clerk at an electronics store. He enjoys playing video games and caring for his collection of action figures. He doesn’t have any true romantic pals and spends the majority of his free time by himself. He is still a virgin, despite philosophically having an interest in the other sex, as evidenced by his frequent and uncontrollable morning erections. He never intended to abstain from having romantic sex, but as he grew older, it became increasingly challenging to have his first encounter, until it eventually became a fact of his existence.
When his coworkers learn about it, some make fun of him, but Dave, Jay, and Cal form a small group and decide to help him get laid, even though they each have their own relationship problems and may not be the best individuals to offer counsel or help for romantic sex.
Additionally, Andy receives some unexpected advice from people watching his life from the sidelines. Beyond that advice, Andy must be the one to make the last transition to romantic reality because he lacks both theoretical and practical experience because he doesn’t even view romantic porn or engage in masturbation. The current woman, who should be his first love, is the subject of some of the advice he gets.
Despite that advice, he concludes that Trish, a specialty merchant with a somewhat pointless brick and mortar location across the street from the electronics store, is the lady he really wants. Andy must choose how much of his genuine self to reveal to Trish as he pursues her and eventually falls in romantic love with her.
