But I’m a Cheerleader / 1999 / 1hr 30mins / Rated 15
This whimsically edgy comedy follows High school senior Megan, an all-American girl who loves cheerleading and dates a football player. Her suburban existence is turned upside-down when her family suspect she’s a lesbian. In a panic they send her to a ‘rehabilitation’ camp where she comes to question her own sexuality for the first time.
Will Megan be turned around to successful heterosexuality, or will she succumb to her feelings for one of her new classmates?
