DVD Reviews of But I'm A Cheerleader
DVD Review: 2.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
A sometimes cutting, mostly just cute lesbian variation on the teen flick, But I'm a Cheerleader is diverting but not especially good.
DVD Review: But I'm a Cheerleader
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is so funny! Its the most weirdest coming out story ever. A movie every lesbian much watch. DVD Review: Disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
I Bought the DVD because everyone's saying nice things about the movie, I think it was long, boring and not really funny. I like it okay but Im a bit disappointed, I don't think I would watch it again unless my friends want me to watch it with her.DVD Review: Best Movie Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite movie. It's hilarious and has a great cast. It's a little hard to catch everything the first time, though, so I recommend watching it 2-3 times before making your final judgment.DVD Review: Campy and Sweet
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is so campy but sweet at the same time. It plays off of the stereotypes of the GLBT community and how ridiculous they are. It also has an amazing soundtrack. Too bad it was never released! Natasha Lyonne is a sweet but misguided teen in a "typical" suburban world where any difference is unacceptable. After an intervention with family and friends because they think she is a lesbian she is sent to True Directions to learn to be straight. Appropriate hilarity ensues. It has a beautiful and romantic love scene that is done in a great way, it is not unnecessarily graphic but I think portrays the innocence of love between two young women. The music Glass Vase, Cello Case by Tattle Tale is a beautiful accompaniment to the scene. I really recommend this to everyone. Though not meant to be a realistic story, it is a good laugh with a healthy dose of romance.
Description of But I'm A Cheerleader
A promising comedy that goes awry all too early, But I'm a Cheerleader concerns a misunderstood high school kid (Natasha Lyonne) whose parents send her to a harsh, homosexual-rehabilitation camp despite a lack of evidence that she's gay. Ruled with an iron fist by a fascist counselor (Cathy Moriarty), the clinic only drives Lyonne's character toward an attraction to a rebellious tomboy (Clea DuVall), though screenwriter Brian Wayne Peterson and director Jamie Babbit are curiously intent on keeping the two apart and depriving the audience of other comic possibilities. Meanwhile, hoary clich?s abound: prancing boys, butch gays, lipstick lesbians. Despite a fine cast full of young talent, and cameo appearances by Julie Delpy and RuPaul Charles, this attempt to skewer a present-day trend in "curing" homosexuals of their sexual preferences is flattened by stereotypes and unimaginative thinking. --Tom KeoghGeneral DVDs
