The whimsically edgy 1999 comedy But I’m A Cheerleader follows teenager Megan (Natasha Lyonne, Sleeping with Other People), whose suburban existence filled with friends, cheerleading, and all-American fun is upended when her straight-laced parents suspect she may be a lesbian. In a panic, they send her to True Directions, a “rehabilitation” camp run by the strict and prudish Mary (Cathy Moriarty, Raging Bull), to mount an intervention led by counselor Mike (RuPaul Charles).

Megan dutifully follows the program — until she develops feelings for another camper in this timeless, satirical romantic-comedy about self-acceptance and love, directed by Jamie Babbit and co-starring Michelle Williams (All the Money in the World), Clea DuVall (HBO’s VEEP), Julie Delpy (2 Days in New York) and Melanie Lynskey (Win Win).
