Synopisis:
Megan is a cheerleader. An all-American girl with a football player boyfriend. But she doesn’t really like kissing him. Her high school locker is filled with pictures of girls. And her parents are worried. They send her to a “sexual redirection” camp which does anything but, ultimately leading to a happy and hopeful ending for Megan. Jamie Babbitt directed this 1999 satire that has become a cult classic. Contains some adult language, suggestive behavior, emotional abuse and attempted conversion therapy.
