But I’m a Cheerleader is a movie by Jamie Babbit, starring Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall.

Plot:
When Megan (Natasha Lyonne) is suspected to be a lesbian, her parents send her to a Christian “rehab” center, where she’s supposed to learn the straight way. Instead she falls for Graham (Clea DuVall).

The movie is a little campy, but it’s supposed to be. There are some very funny scenes and it’s a lighthearted look at a serious issue. Entertaining.

The characters were funny – especially the to-be-reformed lesbians were great and not at all stereotypical. For the to-be-reformed gays though, I can’t say the same thing. They seemed a little clichéd.

The craziness that is these reformation camps was perfectly captured. And they are really scary. I think I would have gone crazy there.

The acting was fine, though there was nothing spectacular. I did enjoy RuPaul‘s and Cathy Moriarty‘s performances especially.

Summarising, it was fun to watch but didn’t leave a very lasting impression.
