"Hilarious! Three Cheers For This Funny Film!" -Mademoiselle
This candy-box colored comedy of sexual discovery chronicles the life of Megan (Natasha Lyonne) a typical teenager coming of age in anything but a typical fashion. Megan's super normal suburban existence is filled with friends, pom-poms and rah-rah enthusiasm until her straight-laced parents (Mink Stole and Bud Cort) suspect that their "little poodle" may, in fact, be showing deviant tendencies. In a complete panic, Megan's parents elicit the help of her friends and the guidance of a rehabilitation camp to mount an all out intervention. Mike (an out-of-drag RuPaul Charles), a True Directions counselor, leads the intervention and before Megan can pack her pom-poms she is whisked off to learn how to be a perfect woman.
True Directions is run under the strict, all-seeing eyes of the sadistic Mary (Cathy Moriarty). Megan dutifully gets with the deprogramming so she can quickly return to her life of boyfriends, football games, and her absolute favorite activity -- cheerleading. Everything seems perfect, but the fun begins when her hormones start to rage, and her friends and family wonder where she'll find love!

But I'm a film critic! - 3.5 out of 5 (10/10/2000)
I have to give alot of credit to "But I'm a Cheerleader" because it is a film that manages to tackle a sensitive subject with warmth and sincerity all the while being one of the most funny, sarcastic and biting films I have ever seen.
The title makes little sense until one has seen the film. Natasha Lyonne (American Pie, Slums of Beverly Hills) plays Megan. Megan comes from a loving family who instill in her the Christian beliefs as well as the good old fashioned All American apple pie upbrin

A Happy Ending -- for Once! - 4.5 out of 5 (10/16/2002)
Natasha Lyonne, who reminds me of a shorter (and slightly less attractive) version of Alicia Silverstone (Clueless), plays a young girl (Megan) who is sent by her parents to a school (for gay boys and lesbian girls) for deprogramming.
In a humorous parody of life, the girls are instructed to be domestic, while the boys are taught to enjoy manly activities, such as playing sports, hunting and working on cars.
The school, however, rather than reinforcing compliance with sexual stereot

Long Live Queen Natasha - 4 out of 5 (8/1/2001)
Brilliant young actress Natasha Lyonne delivers her funniest and most intelligent performance to date in what was possibly the best film of 2000. I could watch Natasha act all day and all night (on some days I do). Jamie Babbit is a great young director, and she couldn't have chosen a better actress for the role of Megan.
