Amazon.com:
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 counselour (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 endeavor to skewer a present-day trend in 'curing' homosexuals of their sexual preferences is flattened by stereotypes and unimaginative thinking. --Tom Keogh



Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - But I'm a Cheerleader
This movie is so funny! Its the most weirdest coming out story ever. A movie every lesbian much watch.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Disappointed
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.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Best Movie Ever
This is my favorite movie. It's hilarious and has a great cast. It's a little hard to catch everything the very first time, though, so I recommend watching it 2-3 times before making your final judgment.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Campy and Sweet
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.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Gay and straight stereotypes lampooned.
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!
