Synopsis

A hysterically silly comedy about a girl who is sent to camp to "straighten" out because she's got Melissa Etheridge posters on her wall.

3 Reasons To buy this film

Love conquers all!
Funny, but creepy!
Campy and fun but not overly flamboyant and ridiculous... although that's good too.

Review

A high-spirited comedy that pokes fun at homophobia as well as lesbian and gay stereotypes -- but all in good fun. Poor Megan (Lyonne); she may be a pretty high schooler, model student and cheerleader who's dating the captain of the football team, but her loving parents think otherwise. You see, she's a vegetarian, she doesn't like kissing her boyfriend and one can't ignore those Melissa Etheridge records. Afraid that their daughter will fall in with the dark forces of same-sex love, she is quickly carted off to "True Directions", a scarily cheerful five-step de-homofication rehab camp. There she finds herself joined by a group of butch baby dykes, lipstick lesbians and several queeny gay boys. Sapphic sparks fly when Megan locks eyes with Graham (DuVall), a tomboy beauty with no intention of going straight. A delightful John Waters-inspired free-for-all satire.

Customer Reviews

One of my favorite movies of all-time..

I'll never understand how But I'm A Cheerleader just flew under the radar of so many people. 5 years after having seen it for the first time, it remains one of my favorite films. I own the DVD and watch it once every couple of months, and it's always like the first time. The script is HILARIOUS and the relationship between Megan & Graham is wonderfully romantic. Guys, don't feel left behind -- there are plenty of gay boys, and MAJOR eye candy in the form of Eddie Cibrian. A must see. A must own.

HAD potential

cute movie, fun to watch, humourous as anything, and has good casting. but it could've done alot more w/the actors and actresses. the storyline idea is great.....but it fell flat.

but for 12 bucks, definitely can't go wrong either!

I expected more from this one...

The cast is capable of much more than what we receive from them in this one. It has it's moments, it has it's humor, and even has a great story line, but my wallet meter says.... rent it.
