5 Things to Love about Stairs & Unstairs in 10 Things I Hate About You
In order of appearance…
1. After Cameron’s first day of school at Padua High, Michael, his geeky tour guide, manages to careen out of the parking lot and down an ivy-covered cliff on his motorbike, much to the entertainment of the shocked crowd above.
2. That amazing shot to the sound of Air’s “Sexy Boy,” in which Michael exacts revenge on Bogey Lowenstein, turning his future MBAs-only party into a highschool-wide rager with a few cheap flyers and the toss of a wrist.
3. In an effort to redeem himself in Cat’s eyes, Patrick pays off the school marching band and commandeers the stadium’s sound system to serenade the entire soccer team to a novel rendition of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” – delivered while running away from campus security, up and down the stadium’s stair-like seating.
4. Kat and Patrick share a tender moment that turns, predictably, into a suspicious confrontation on her front steps.
5. Kat ascends a staircase to meet Patrick at the prom. They both look great.
