All-American teen Megan has a jock boyfriend and place on the cheerleading squad. But it’s not enough to stop her parents suspecting she’s a lesbian. Sent to True Directions conversion therapy camp, Megan is confronted with her actual identity, with far more queer results than her parents hoped for. Dubbed the ‘gay Clueless’ by director Jamie Babbit, this tongue-in-cheek cult classic sees an iconic cast hilariously tackle themes of gender and sexuality.

Contains homophobic attitudes and language.
