Summary: Hysterical!
Review: This movie is awesome. It's about a girl... or maybe 2 girls... or maybe the whole camp. Camp is definitely the operative work here. Everything is stereotyped to the point of absurdity, and the pink and blue plastic outfits! I laughed my rear off. It's got some little big names in it (Ru Paul, Richard Moll, and obviously Natasha Lyonne). Anyways. This girl thinks she's straight. Everyone else knows she's not. Her parents send her away to straightening-out camp, and... well, imagine a whole housefull of gay kids trying to act straight and a somewhat obsessive and clueless camp leader... and her son, and the other counselor... In fact, the camp leader may be the only straight character in the movie (parents etc aside) and there's even some question about that.

Summary: Simply Hilarious!
Review: At True Directions, girl meets girl and boy meets boy in the obvious slight at the religious right. Roger Ebert gave it 2 thumbs up and so do I. It was hilariously engrossing with Richard Moll as a Gay underground former reformed gay giving shelter to those that found their "true directions" in gaydom. Ru Paul Charles, so out of drag, sported a shirt that said, "Str8 is great" to the point of almost becoming an ex-reformed gay that instructed boys how to be a manly man. ...but, I think he'd rather be a Cheerleader!

Summary: Pom-Pom Pleasantry!
Review: I first saw this movie in a small independent theatre in Reno, NV and I've loved this farce on homosexual rehabilitation ever since. Natasha Lyonne plays Megan, a typical teenage cheerleader anticipating the upcoming football game until her parents suspect deviant behavior. Megan is shipped off to True Directions, a rehabilitation camp for homosexuals, run by a sadistic Cathy Moriarty and her side-kick Rupaul Charles (out-of-drag). The deprogramming enforced involves stereotypical male and female tasks that seem simple until Megan's hormones start to rage and she falls for a rebellious Clea Duvall. The story that entails is absolutely hilarious and all the actors were brilliantly casted into their formulaic parts. I would strongly recommend this movie for any person, gay or straight, who is up for a good laugh.

Summary: horrified
Review: But I'm A Cheerleader is one of the most witless, ridiculous, even disturbing movies I've ever seen. Completely devoid of any cleverness whatsoever, I saw this movie and it made me want to smash the filmmakers over the head with a brick. How exactly could someone be capable of making this [movie] is completely foreign to me. To think that young lesbians will see this as all they have as entertainment...oh my how prejudice has expanded when the only popular form of gay entertainment is this piece of dung. Granted, just because a movie has homosexual subject matter, doesn't mean that it has to be a grand tragedy, or a character has to die or turn evil (as in Buffy). Yet the film takes the other path, how can we make a film that is so incredible non-tragic that it becomes frivolous? "But I'm a Cheerleader" says the main character (Natasha Lyonne). So she's sent to a camp for gay kids where they will be rehabilitated. I know camps like these exist. But the film's subject matter is too ridiculous to take anything seriously about these centers, gay teens, prejudice, learning to love who you are. It's all butch jokes, stupid stereotypes, and candy colors that recall a bad John Waters flick. Besides the film's utter mission to not be substantial, it is painfully rendered as a drama/love story. Clea Duvall does her token role as the hardened lesbian Graham who romances our heroine. Whoo hoo. Could anything be more obvious. They meet, they make out and that's their relationship in a nutshell. No character development WHATSOEVER. the "love scene" is "tender" as critics like to call lesbian love scenes. there's nothing tender about characters who we barely know making out with each other- disrupting the entire pace of the film. It's embarrassing to the actors to be so earnest during a scene that just proves how dishonest the rest of the film is. As a comedy, there's little funny about it. The jokes are for a gay-only audience yet pander to the heterosexual populace. I really think this is a HORRIBLE movie and if you want to waste your money, on bad comedic situations that play out like nails on a chalkboard go for it.

Summary: absolutely perfect
Review: i just watched the movie but i can say that it was one of the best movies i had ever seen. It was a really good, a little bit romantic comedy, with a great subject . My best scene is the one which Graham first kissed Meghan. By the way they both are very good actristes. You have to see this film if you haven't yet.This is not enough for this movie the things that i wrote but i can guarantee you that,this will be your favorite movie.Enjoy it!!!

Summary: But I'm A Cheerleader
Review: Before I speak of the specific movie content, I need to say that the DVD wasn't great, offering a trailer and no commentary for bonus features is all. Shore it's worth buying though! This movie is cute and shows how two members of the same sex can fall in love. This movie has a feel of light humor throughout the entire movie even though it most likely wont make you laugh very hard. There are a few funny parts of course, and you'll enjoy the characters and how they act.The soundtrack is great and works nicely with the movie.With such a cute ending, I love it and you will too!

Review: In the middle of this way over-the-top, no-limits comedy you find yourself in one of the most touching love scenes ever filmed. Astonishing.

Summary: Sweet, Funny Twist on a Serious Subject!
Review: There's something about Megan, a pretty, feminine cheerleader with lots of friends and a popular, handsome boyfriend that makes her family think she's a lesbian-in-denial (and, you'll note, in need of some heterosexualizing). Could it be the fact that she seems to find kissing her boyfriend to be a most disgusting experience? Or could it be those posters of hot women in her locker? Or perhaps, the fact that she's been pushing tofu on everyone just a little too enthusiastically? At any rate, Mommy & Daddy send their little angel to a "sexual orientation rehab" to ... straighten her out. When Megan arrives at True Directions (har, har) and meets the militant rehab director, her (mainly) butch female classmates, and (mainly) flaming male classmates, and RuPaul (errrrm, so to speak - watch the movie!) ... she is in utter denial. It takes her a little while, but Megan figures out why she avoided her boyfriend's attempts at physical affection and stared, entranced, at certain parts of her fellow cheerleaders's scantily-clad anatomies. The idea that she might be something other than "normal" (read: heterosexual) had never occurred to her before. Now - "Oh my God! I'm a homosexual! I'm a homosexual!" From there, this movie takes you on a wild ride involving (among other things!) "The Doghouse," sex simulation, a couple of guys who offer an alternative to "sexual orientation rehab," some freaked-out parents, a little bit of healthy lust, new love, and, of course ... cheerleading! I recommend it to everyone, as a very cute, amusing comedy ... and I'd also like to warn everyone not to forget that there have existed in the past and DO exist in the present certain REAL "sexual orientation rehabs," very different than this movie's "True Directions" pretend-rehab. The movie's portrayal of such places is amusing; the reality is notably more ... sinister. That said, buy the movie. :) You'll like it! If you DON'T like it ... hey, what do I look like, Siskell & Ebert? Get outta here. ;)
