9 Things I hate about you

Something I really like was that the first protagonist needed the badass to win the princess. But in order to do that, he used the goon to hire the badass, for which the badass was needed to overcome the obstacle. But apparently, the goon wanted the princess as well. The protagonist, along with his sidekick, used both of them to get what they want. That I thought was genius. 

But it was interesting that the story shifted from the protagonist trying to win the princess to the badass overcoming the obstacle. 

But outside of typecasts - the drunken table dance was pretty awesome. Also, the musical number by the badass was great. 

I like this movie. The goon was a typical dickhead, and it didn't have to rely too much on overused flat characters. It did have some unpredictable moments - semi-unpredictable, but it was great that this movie didn't go down the route of many other horrible teen movies.
