But I'm a Cheerleader

Megan (Natasha Lyonne) considers herself a typical American girl. She excels in school and cheerleading, and she has a handsome football-playing boyfriend even though she isn't that crazy about him. So she's stunned when her parents decide she's gay and send her to True Directions, a boot camp meant to alter her sexual orientation. While there, Megan meets a rebellious and unashamed teen lesbian, Graham (Clea DuVall). Though Megan still feels confused, she starts to have feelings for Graham.

"First-time feature director Jamie Babbit's pink-drenched comedy is amusing and good-natured, but necessarily thin." - New York Daily News

"Lyonne blends hyperbole and sincerity in perfect proportions." - Chicago Reader
