    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

    2 out of 5 stars Lame and cliched   December 17, 2009
    Peter Ingemi (Worcester County, Massachusetts United States)
    6 out of 8 found this review helpful

    But I'm a cheerleader is a story about bigotry and redemption, however not the way it intends to be.

    Natasha Lyonne plays a cheerleader from a Christian family who is a tad different, she notices her voluptuous fellow cheerleaders, has photos of women in her locker, and doesn't like the very heavy tongue.

    So of course being good Christians they send her off to a re-orientation camp to be forcibly changed by a wicked stepmother type (Played WAY over the top by Cathy Moriarty) and her assistant Ru-Paul without the drag.

    The collection of students are, you guessed it stereotypes as well as are the other parents. The lead characters are wooden and totally uninteresting with performances to match. Both Moriarty and Ru-Paul however make the best of what they have and are responsible for most of the worthwhile moments in the entire film. Moriarty's "Foreplay is for sissies!" moment is laugh out loud and that entire scene is just plain funny. Likewise Ru-Paul playing a "formally gay" man just shines in physical comedy moments and scene setups.

    But mostly the entire picture is about self righteousness. Not of the films "villains" but of the filmmakers. It is a peon to Hollywood's imaginary image of Christians, how they act, how they think and the brave and oh so tolerant folks who oppose them. It tries to slap you in the face saying HEY we are funny, and cutting edge and brave to make this movie and if you don't think so you just are just a bunch of ignorant hicks.

    In the niche market that is was meant for I suppose it has fans but unless your view of the world is driven by Air America then this really is not for you.



    5 out of 5 stars Hilarious and Sweet   December 6, 2009
    Pat (GA, USA)
    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.

    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!

    1 out of 5 stars SCARY!!!   June 14, 2009

    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.
