Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This is a wonderful movie! I usually hate spoofy type comedies but even though this is extremely sarcastic there are still some really beautiful moments, such as the love scene. And the music is just amazing. I would recommend this to anyone, go see it right now!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Movie: good for a laugh, Soundtrack: an EXCELLENT listen
Review: My friend and I got this video out as a joke, as it looked light-hearted and funny. It turned out to be a rather dark comedy, which I really enjoyed. Lots of laughs were had at the sake of stereotypes and overall I really enjoyed the movie. However, the REAL drawcard of the movie was the AMAZING soundtrack. I sat & wrote down each & all of the songs after I had watched the video and downloaded them the next day. I have searched all over the net to buy a copy of the soundtrack, with no luck. If you too were hooked by the soundtrack, here is a list of all the songs.Chick habit by "April March", Just like Henry by "Dressy Bessy", If u should try to kiss her by "Dressy Bessy", Together forever in love by "Go Sailor", Ray of sunshine by "Go Sailor", Funnel of love by "Wanda Jackson", Evening in Paris by "Lois" and We're in the city by "Saint Etienne"... Hope you enjoy! =)

Summary: Don't watch this is you don't know what SARCASM is
Review: I think one of the reviewers missed the point of the whole film.Natasha Lyonne's character didn't TURN gay...she was always gay,just never realized it.Its great to see this film where so many stereotypes of homosexuals are brought to light, in an exaggerated way.This film also shows what a diverse group gays/lesbians are, each character is quite different.I loved this movie from the first time I saw it, and I hope it really did open many peoples' eyes.

Summary: Let's Be Honest Here!!
Review: It's funny how EVERYONE misses the point about how dumb and misguided this film turns out to be - for years the gay/lesbian argument has been that homosexuality is a genetic pre-desposition, instead of a conscious choice; therefore, straights don't have to worry about being TURNED gay! And this movie starts out with a great idea, how fear and prejudice make the perfectly normal lead character to be sent to a 'Gay-Curing' camp. However - and this IS THE POINT FOLKS - when she gets there and is thrown together with a lesbian, the lesbian TURNS HER GAY!!! What a horrible message that is 180 degrees opposite of what the gay community has been trying to project. If the filmmakers had stuck with the original premise it might have been watchable, however the confused and wrongheaded direction it takes makes it a true waste of 91 minutes of your life. Don't bother!

Summary: But I'm A Cheerleader
Review: Ok Here Is My Review. Well First Off I Never Heard About This Movie Till My Sister Showed It To Me. I Saw It On 1-11-2003. I Must Say I Loved The Movie, The First Time I Saw it. I Love Clea Duvall's Character "Graham". She Was Funny. Anyways I Am Not Gay But I Just Want To Say It Is A Very Upliftting Movie. So My Point Is "Never Judge A Book By It's Cover", Because You Never Know Where You Might Find Love. I Disagree With The Other Reviews That It Was Awful. I Loved It And I Recommend You Do Rent It First, Before Buying It. Anyways I Will Buy This Movie On Dvd Soon. Anyways Most Gay Movies Are Quite Dumb. But This Based On Romance/ Comedy. So There You Go. If Anyone Feels Different Oh Well. Nothing I Can Do. The Only Opinion That Counts To Me Is "My' Opinion. So Peace! And Keep On Rocking! Buh Bye!

Summary: That movie Deliverance? Now that's a spicy meatball.
Review: This is a terrible movie (recommended to me because of the main actress). I saw it at a friends house, and thinking about it now, I really understand why this is unavailable for rental. Okay...kitsch value? Maybe...but then I'd have to overlook the non-sequitur(sp?) plot structure.
So what dave...it's supposed to be ENTERTAINMENT right? Still I find little humor here, because so much of it is done: "sledgehammer style". (You WILL see it the authors/directors way)...unfortunately most of us can make up our own minds about issues of sexual tolerance. Honest to God.
Thank You.
(oh and I agree the soundtrack was good. That's why I...um--buy albums?)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Summer Campy
Review: This is a terrific movie. It mocks people who try and cure gay people. It mocks the family members of gay folks who send them to be cured. It's slightly sarcartic and extremely over-the-top... and absolutely hysterical.

I wasn't quite sure, when I first saw it, if it was quite my sort of movie; the scenes can be very spartan at times, despite the pink PVC clothing. But after I'd seen the whole thing I decided I liked it quite a bit.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good...but watch before you buy...
Review: I purchased "But I'm a Cheerleader" after hearing rave reviews here and elsewhere for the DVD. Unfortunately, I think I spent too much money on it. Let me explain - But I'm a Cheerleader IS a cute, funny, and at times emotionally involving story of a girl sent away to a "Straight is Great" camp to become straight again. It's funny and cute, but there are weak points in characterisation and other areas that might disenchant some viewers.

I do recommend that people rent "But I'm a Cheerleader" if they are looking for an off-the-wall teen drama/comedy that is miles off of the beaten path. But do yourself a favor - watch it before you decide to buy it, as some may find it a single-watching kind of movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Praise for this cute flick
Review: This is one of the cutest movie I have ever seen. It's funny and just sweet at the same time. I was asked to watch it because I have a friend who's gay, but I found myself enjoying the flick because it was hilarious. It was totally cool to watch, and it's not a waste of time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very funny!
Review: But I'm a Cheerleader was easily one of the funniest movies I had seen in a while that genuinely funny (not stupid funny or even Jackass funny) but still very good.

This is a light hearted comedy about your typical American girl next door (Megan), who (by parents and friends and even a RuPaul out of drag!) is counseled and sent to school for kids who think they are "gay". During Megan's stay at the school, she realizes who she really is and who she really loves.

I gotta say, this was a good movie. It was funny all around and it still kept you interest. For a lot of people, this movie had a good message about how hard it can be to be a teen and realize that you're gay but still it has a good humor about it and it doesn't defame anyone at all.

My one problem with this movie is that it went from being hilarious throughout the movie and then shifting to super serious at the end and that almost made the ending too cheesy. But still, the ending you could live without because the rest of the movie was great.
