What's a girl to do when she's "outed" by her family and friends?
Plot: Megan (Natasha Lyonne) is a pretty, happy and indeed, pretty-happy girl. She's a cheerleader. She has numerous friends. She even has a boyfriend (cue some very slobbery kissing). Then one day, she returns home from school to find her nearest and dearest have convened an intervention. They are convinced she's a homosexual and to that end, something must be done.
Megan is shipped off to a conversion therapy camp. Where she will learn to curb these base desires, to change her outlook and generally, to be more the mummy and daddy's girl everyone seems to want.
Negative reports regarding the stylization of the film, the acting and the often stereotypical portrayals simply serve to embarrass. This is a film that at the very heart of it, is some real emotion and support. The actors, initially seem stunted and lazy, but you need to stick with this one, enjoy the humour, appreciate the performances and laugh at the outright absurdity.
Definitely a film to be watched.
Budget: $1,000,000
Gross: $2,595,216
Fun Fact: Look out for a brilliant turn by RuPaul as an "ex-gay" councillor.
