Broadly conceived and schematically directed (or is it non-directed?), this is a shallow satire, basically a short extended into feature length movie, about a rehabilitation camp for gays and lesbians that wastes the talent of Natasha Lyons.

Overview
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. Her conservative parents worry that she must be a lesbian and send her off to "sexual redirection" school, where she must, with other lesbians and gays learn how to be straight.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
But I'm a Cheerleader is funny.
Dumb, heavy-handed satire.
Too often she substitutes petulance for the curiosity and determination the role requires.
Ungainly sentiment and unnecessary stylization.
