Megan is an all-American girl. A cheerleader. She has a boyfriend. But Megan doesn't like kissing her boyfriend very much. And she's pretty touchy with her cheerleader friends. Her conservative parents worry that she must be a lesbian and send her off to "sexual redirection" school, where she must, with other lesbians and gays learn how to be straight.
My review · Reviewed 02/10/2023
I have long been a fan of using mockery to demonstrate how bad an idea is and to that end this movie does a decent job. The movie relies heavily on Lyonne's likeability. The main problem with the movie is that - while the message is extremely important - the movie isn't a great watch. Poor Cathy Moriarity had absolutely nothing to work. Many of the scenes were really cartoonish. On the bright side, there are numerous future stars playing secondary characters in this movie.
