This is the best movie!
A candy-box colored satirical comedy of sexual disorientation, BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER chronicles the life of Megan (Natasha Lyonne,) a typical teenager coming of age in anything but a typical fashion. Megan's super normal suburban existence is filled with friends, pom-poms and rah-rah enthusiasm until her straight-laced parents (Mink Stole and Bud Cort) suspect that their "little poodle" may, in fact, be showing lesbian tendencies. In a complete panic, Megan's parents elicit the help of her friends and the guidance of the homosexual rehabilitation facility, True Directions, to mount an intervention. Mike (an out-of-drag RuPaul Charles,) a True Directions counselor, leads the intervention and before Megan can pack her pom-poms she is whisked off to learn how to be a perfect heterosexual woman.

The Box Cover
This movie trully tells you to be yourself. Its a great movie. Even through scenery, it tells its message. For example, when the kids graduate from True Direction, they're wearing hot blue (boys) and hot pink (girls) outfits made of plastic. The kids are graduating for being "straight", and by wearing bright colors and plastic clothes, it really shows how fake they're being to themselves--inside and out. Theirs so much to this movie. You just have to watch it. It's great!

The Rescue Squad
In the movie, this guy and his lover rescued the True Directions group for an evening, and took them to Cocksuckers, the gay bar.
