Editorial Reviews

Having simulated sex in a flesh-colored body suit -- complete with fig leaves -- is just one step on the road to recovery for the beleaguered heroine of this colorful, teen sex comedy. Natasha Lyonne plays Megan, a high-school cheerleader whose family is convinced she's a lesbian and ships her off to a rehab camp designed to "cure" people of their homosexuality. Soon after Megan arrives, she falls head over heels for fellow rehabber Graham (Clea Duvall). Lyonne gives Megan a perfect wide-eyed innocence as she comes to grips with her true sexual inclinations, while Duvall plays Graham as an ideal foil -- savvy, sophisticated, and exasperated by Megan's naiveté even though she's smitten with her. The film follows Megan's progress as she completes an outrageous five-step program designed to make her a normal heterosexual (with former drag queen RuPaul as one of her counselors), and every imaginable cliché about sexual behavior and sex roles is fuel for the satire. While this is definitely a film with a message, its light-hearted exploration of everyone's favorite subject -- sex -- gives But I'm a Cheerleader winning charm.
