Summary: 4 Stars
It's one of the funnier and more clever gay/lesbian flicks to have come out in recent years. It is the story of Megan (Natasha Lyonne), a prissy high school cheerleader who is disgusted w/ kissing her jock boyfriend and likes to fantasize about her cheerleader gal pals. Her family and friends suspect lesbianism is the culprit. And while Megan never really shows any major "lesbian tendencies", her parents list a few wacked stereotypes of what they feel is lesbian behavior. They are afraid that if they don't act fast, she'll be lost forever. They send her to the True Directions Rehabilitation Camp for Homosexuals - or like her mother calls it, "Homosexuals Annonymous". The camp is run by Mary, (Cathy Moriarty) who founded the camp, probably to make up for failed attempts to convert her son Rock (Eddie Cibrian). Ru Paul (out of drag) plays a camp counselor and is an ex-(but obviously still gay)-gay man, who is secretly attracted to Rock. But he'd never admit to it.
Megan herself doesn't feel that she is a homosexual and she comes to the realization that she is gay in an interesting manner, yet she feels it will be easy to be "fixed" so she could go home. Once in the process of becoming an ex-gay, Megan actually develops lesbian desires - or at least comes completely out of the closet to herself and falls for her roommate, Graham (Clea DuVall), an outsider rich girl with an attitude. And they clash in the typical 'good girl meets bad bo -- oops I mean girl' -- story and they fall in love. But True Directions will have none of that! And make every ridiculous attempt at making them "normal" fun-loving heterosexuals.
Not so much serious as it is funny, BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER throws out some of my favorite lines like Clea's "I'm Graham, and I like girls. A lot! (smile)" Or "Get caught in the throws of sodomy, and it's 'au revoir'". And NaTasha's off the wall "Underground Homo-Railroad" comment that had me rollin'. It makes fun of gay sterotypes and homosexual conversion camps. A little over the top and goofy at times, which is why I liked it. Good for some laughs...
Movie Review: I like this movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
When I was looking at this movie from the gay and lesbian list of films on border I didn't really think I would like it since I'm a gay male and couldn't possibly like anything that had to do with lesbians. Let me tell you I was wrong. I feel ashamed to even say that I couldn't like this movie. Let me explain the movie to you and you see if you wouldn't like it. We start off with Natasha Lyonn playing the character Megan Bloomfield. A cheerleader who is popular, kind, and the girlfriend of the star quaterback in highschool. We see that she doesn't really like to kiss her boyfriend and her family at dinner prays to make things just the way god intended them to be. After school her family, some of her friends and her boyfriend meet her at her house for an intervention. They claim that they fear she is a lesbian. Proving it with evidence of girls picture in her locker, gay memoribilia in her room, she's a vegetarian and the biggest one of all that she doesn't like to kiss her boyfriend. After that she is taken to a sexual redirection camp run by Mary J. Brown played by Cathy Moriarty with her staff RuPaul playing the character Mike who is an Ex gay and her son Rock played by Eddie Cibrian who isnt so manly himself. Where queer boys learn how to be men and Dikey girls learn how to become happy homemakers. (sorry for the rude example). This is where she meets Clea DuVall playing the character Graham Eaton. Seeming like the tough lesbian girl who will never surrender herself to the school. Unfortunately Graham has problems of her own when we discover that she will not be aloud back home, no car and no trust fund if she does not succeed this task. The girls ultimately become friends and attracted to each other. They even have a kiss session when they are rescued from Richard Molls character Larry Morgan-Gordon and his lover Wesley Manns character Lloyd Morgan-Gordon. The training sessions are funny to watch especially with the men. I don't want to ruin any more of the movie for you. If you haven't seen this then you should. I hope this review will get you to watch it.
