Dave S Much to her surprise, high school senior, suspected lesbian, and cheerleader Megan (Natasha Lyonne) is shipped off by her parents to a conversion therapy camp where she is taught the ways of heterosexuality by Mary (Cathy Moriarty), the program director, and Mike (RuPaul, in one of the greatest casting decisions of all time), the camp counsellor. But I’m a Cheerleader is a light-hearted satire that takes direct aim at Christian conservatives and the practice of conversion therapy, hitting its mark more often than not. It’s filled with appropriately garish sets and wardrobes, a campy music score that does its job, plenty of witty dialogue, and a cast that seems to be having a blast throughout. Yes, it is pretty predictable and could have been more stinging with its satire, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a whole lot of fun to watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Greg D It was very funny and sweet to me. It seems like a lot of the negativity comes from misplaced expectations. The movie is more about finding the courage to be yourself and finding support than an expose on conversion therapy and social injustice, and that's why so many of the characters are flamboyant and "arch." Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review Rami A Seeing this 26 years later shows that nothing has changed. People still don't want to accept what others want to do; instead, they try to control them. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Enrique P So ahead of it's time. Natasha Lyonne nailed it. I love Megan and Graham. Couple goals. Brilliant and hilarious 😂. 🩷🩷🩷 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Colette P A creative, strange, and super 2000s movie that explores themes ahead of its time. There's a really interesting relationship that works as a conflict for the film's unique premise. This relationship is both the heart, backbone, and main intrigue of the story. The only complaint would be that this film is a “comedy” that's not funny. But at the same time it can be equally enjoyed as a drama instead, so it doesn't take away anything from its enjoyment factors.
