Summary: But I'm a Cheerleader
Comment: This movie is so funny! Its the most weirdest coming out story ever. A movie every lesbian much watch.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I Bought the DVD because everyone's saying nice things about the movie, I think it was long, boring and not really funny. I like it okay but Im a bit disappointed, I don't think I would watch it again unless my friends want me to watch it with her.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best Movie Ever
Comment: This is my favorite movie. It's hilarious and has a great cast. It's a little hard to catch everything the first time, though, so I recommend watching it 2-3 times before making your final judgment.

Summary: Campy and Sweet
Comment: This movie is so campy but sweet at the same time. It plays off of the stereotypes of the GLBT community and how ridiculous they are. It also has an amazing soundtrack. Too bad it was never released! Natasha Lyonne is a sweet but misguided teen in a "typical" suburban world where any difference is unacceptable. After an intervention with family and friends because they think she is a lesbian she is sent to True Directions to learn to be straight. Appropriate hilarity ensues. It has a beautiful and romantic love scene that is done in a great way, it is not unnecessarily graphic but I think portrays the innocence of love between two young women. The music Glass Vase, Cello Case by Tattle Tale is a beautiful accompaniment to the scene. I really recommend this to everyone. Though not meant to be a realistic story, it is a good laugh with a healthy dose of romance.

Summary: Gay and straight stereotypes lampooned.
Comment: This glorious film lampoons both straight and gay stereotypes, working as comedy with a rock hard centre. Megan (Natasha Lyonne) and Graham (Clea Duvall) are thrown together in the absurd surroundings of a camp aiming to turn gay boys and girls straight by relentlessly forcing heterosexuality down their throats.
Unfortunately for the girls' Boss, Mary (Cathy Moriarty), her efforts to straighten out every one of her charges are doomed to failure - although the viewer can see through the veneer of those who eventually claim that the 'treatment' has worked, the 'Graduation' scene leaves a worrying taste in the mouth - she also tries to ignore the fact that her son isn't as butch as she would wish. He flirts outrageously with 'ex-gay' Mike (RuPaul Charles) who is in charge of butching up the boys.
Many moments of wondrously camp send-ups ensue, and Megan encounters some terrific characters after her parents and cheerleading girlfriends conspire to send her to True Directions.
Personally I love it!

Editorial Reviews:

This candy-box colored comedy of sexual discovery chronicles the life of Megan (Natasha Lyonne) a typical teenager coming of age in anything but a typical fashion. Megan's super normal suburban existence is filled with friends pom-poms and rah-rah enthusiasm until her straight-laced parents (Mink Stole and Bud Cort) suspect that their "little poodle" may in fact be showing deviant tendencies. In a complete panic Megan's parents elicit the help of her friends and the guidance of a rehabilitation camp to mount an all-out intervention. Mike (an out-of-drag RuPaul Charles) a True Directions counselor leads the intervention and before Megan can pack her pom-poms she is whisked off to learn how to be a perfect woman.True Directions is run under the strict all-seeing eyes of the sadistic Mary (Cathy Moriarty). Megan dutifully gets with the deprogramming so she can quickly return to her life of boyfriends football games and her absolute favorite activity - cheerleading. Everything seems perfect but the fun begins when her hormones start to rage and her friends and family wonder where she'll find love!System Requirements:Starring: RuPaul Charles Clea DuVall Natasha Lyonne Cathy Moriarty Eddie Cibrian Melanie Lynskey Wesley Mann Richard Moll Douglas Spain Katharine Towne Directed BY: Jamie Babbit Running Time: 84 Min.
