Description of But I'm a Cheerleader:
A promising comedy that goes awry all too early, But I'm a Cheerleader concerns a misunderstood high school kid (Natasha Lyonne) whose parents send her to a harsh, homosexual-rehabilitation camp despite a lack of evidence that she's gay. Ruled with an iron fist by a fascist counselor (Cathy Moriarty), the clinic only drives Lyonne's character toward an attraction to a rebellious tomboy (Clea DuVall), though screenwriter Brian Wayne Peterson and director Jamie Babbit are curiously intent on keeping the two apart and depriving the audience of other comic possibilities. Meanwhile, hoary clichés abound: prancing boys, butch gays, lipstick lesbians. Despite a fine cast full of young talent, and cameo appearances by Julie Delpy and RuPaul Charles, this attempt to skewer a present-day trend in "curing" homosexuals of their sexual preferences is flattened by stereotypes and unimaginative thinking. --Tom Keogh
But I'm a Cheerleader Reviews:
Hilarious and Sweet 
2009-12-06 - This movie just cracks me up. The scene where Megan finally realizes that she's gay and admits it out loud had me laugh so hard. Natasha Lyonne did such an excellent job with her character, making Megan goofy, hilarious and very likable. She and Clea DuVall are so cute together and you can't help but fall in love with their characters. Other characters are likable also and they add the fun to the movie. If you have an open mind and don't take things too seriously, you'll find this movie hilarious, sweet, and just perfect.
But I'm A Cheerleader
2009-11-20 - This is a cutesy, fun movie about figuring out how to cure being gay. With the conclusion, you can't haha It's entertaining and amazing! Clea DuVall is my favorite! RuPaul is in this as a man. I highly recommend watching this!
funny & girly
2009-07-12 - I love this movie, its soo funny, and cute.
Such an awesome and funny way to "graduate".
SCARY!!! 
2009-06-14 - I bought this film because of all the good reviews it received on here. But you know what, I have to say this is the most disturbing film I've ever seen in my life. I was looking for a cute film showing homosexuality in a positive light, but what I got instead was a creepy film that left me wondering if it was filled with subliminal messages. Just the way color was used throughout the film bothered me. All in all, I watched it once, then promptly took it outside to the dumpster so I'd never have to see it again. I gave it a one star rating because they wouldn't let me give it any less, but if I had the choice it would get nothing more than a negative 10. I would never ever suggest this movie to anyone and I think it could possibly be used as a torture device.
A must have for all LGBT film collections
2009-03-23 - This is one of the best self discovery / coming out movies ever made. It is also the funniest appealing to both men and women. The story centers around a young woman's self discovery and dealing with the repercussions it causes in her life. This film has no real "dirty parts" but it dose star Rupaul as a male teacher at a private school teaching Queer kids to act Straight. I feel it deserves a place in every LGBT film collection.
