The post Groundbreaking LGBTQ+ Comedy But I’m a Cheerleader Now Available in 4K appeared first on Consequence.
The 1999 comedy But I’m a Cheerleader, now available as a 4K release, wasn’t a box office smash when it was first released. But the charming film directed by Jamie Babbit proved that Natasha Lyonne had movie star juice, while also proving to be a groundbreaking one for LGBTQ+ cinema, as a coming-out story with some joy to it.
In the movie, Lyonne plays 17-year-old Megan, who has no idea her parents suspect her of being gay until they send her to a conversion therapy camp to “cure” her. Thankfully the camp is a lot less barbaric than most real-life ones, and Megan becomes close with her fellow campers, eventually coming to terms with her own sexuality.

But I’m a Cheerleader is available now on 4K Ultra HD via Amazon: Come for the vivid production design, stay for the bonkers cast, including Clea DuVall, Melanie Lynskey, RuPaul Charles, Richard Moll, Cathy Moriarty, and Michelle Williams, with Mink Stole (Serial Mom) and Bud Cort (Harold and Maude) playing Megan’s parents. These days, Lyonne’s become a much more high-profile star, with her work in the Peacock series Poker Face earning her some well-deserved acclaim.
