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.

Honestly one of my comfort movies despite darker elements. But the pacing is perfect and I just love the characters.

I loved how campy it is but also loved the characterization of the main cast. The camp dwellers all have quirky things which are endearing.

One of my fave genres- I call it bubblegum dark satire. Painful themes but so funny, a treat to look at, and feel good. Watch it!

This movie is amazing because it goes to show the exact same rhetoric that’s been used for 20+ years even as LGBTQ+ rights progress.

Somehow manages to tackle a topic as controversial as conversion therapy with humor, heart, and spectacular use of color.
