Indy comedy about a very ineffective homosexual conversion camp. Good girl, Christian and cheerleader Natasha Lyonne, hadn't seriously considered she was gay, though her friends and family having noticed signs (she loves Melissa Ethridge music and recently became a vegetarian) stage an "intervention". Off to True Directions and their 5 step program to turn you straight, but by time of"graduation day" she is very comfortable with her sexual identity and in love with Clea Duval.
Low budget film has an appropriately campy sensibility and is loaded with names you (or at least I) will recognize, Melanie Lynsky, Bud Cort, Michelle Williams, Richard Moll, Julie Delpy, RuPaul is one of the conversion councilors. Yes it has its fun with clichés, but still pretty progressive for the time. More amusing then laugh out loud funny, it still works more then it doesn't. **1/2
