114. But I'm A Cheerleader (1999)


February 20, 2014

This movie was pretty funny. But I'm A Cheerleader stars Natasha Lyonne as a high school cheerleader whose friends and family stage an intervention and send her to a camp when they think she is gay. Before she went to the camp, Lyonne never knew she was gay, but going to the camp was enough to prove to her that she was. She fell in love with another young girl, and despite her best efforts to get straight as the camp suggest she do, she realized who she really was and eventually succumbed to her true nature. A very clever satire about the way people treat gay people, But I'm A Cheerleader had a good message and was a lot of fun. People of a more conservative or religious viewpoint may not understand or appreciate the movie's message, but I still recommend it to everyone, as it is very good at conveying the message that everyone should be allowed to be who they are.
