DVD But I'm a Cheerleader
A promising comedy that goes awry all too early, But I'm a Cheerleader concerns a misunderstood high school kid (Natasha Lyonne) whose parents send her to a harsh, homosexual-rehabilitation camp despite a lack of evidence that she's gay. Ruled with an iron fist by a fascist counselor (Cathy Moriarty), the clinic only drives Lyonne's character toward an attraction to a rebellious tomboy (Clea DuVall), though screenwriter Brian Wayne Peterson and director Jamie Babbit are curiously intent on keeping the two apart and depriving the audience of other comic possibilities. Meanwhile, hoary clichés abound: prancing boys, butch gays, lipstick lesbians. Despite a fine cast full of young talent, and cameo appearances by Julie Delpy and RuPaul Charles, this attempt to skewer a present-day trend in "curing" homosexuals of their sexual preferences is flattened by stereotypes and unimaginative thinking. --Tom Keogh
It's actually not just a light-hearted silly comedy-- as my ex pointed out to me "Did you ever notice how only the gay characters wear any color?" Everything is brown and drab green but the clothes and surroundings of the queer characters.
beautifuly true
this (adorably cute) movie gets 5 stars from me because it's entertaining and true. when the slightest thought of your child being gay pops in the parents head panic arises and prettymuch all hell has broken loose. "oh my god! we're going to have a lesbian in the family!" god forbid! You become the shadow child and the family secret. I remember when my mom found out I was a lesbian. she actually had the nerve to take me out to dinner and 'talk' to me about because she didnt think it was right for me. you cant help how you feel about things. I could have told my mom "ok" and left at that while lying to myself saying that I liked boys and not girls, but I ended up winning that night because I made her realize that I'm NOT lying to myself about this. either way its put together so cutely and I cant get over how heartwarming it truely is.
Best Gay Comedy of 20th Century
This is funniest and light-hearted comdey that is not overly cheesy or degrading. Its cute, charming and watchable. Just a typical love story that involves gay and lesbian charachters. Nothing too serious is laid out, but it doesnt take away from the film. One of the sincerist gay comedies ever made.
Many lesbian movies are long on charm and short on production values; Better Than Chocolate has a solid dose of both and steamy sex scenes to boot. Our heroine Maggie (Karyn Dwyer), a clerk at a lesbian bookstore, meets footloose butch Kim (Christina Cox) and, after Kim's van is towed away, they move in together. Unfortunately for their romantic bliss, Maggie's mother, Lila (Wendy Crewson), and teenage brother move in that very evening thanks to Lila's impending divorce. But what really complicates matters is that Maggie can't bring herself to come out to her mother; even when she tries, Lila steamrolls through the conversation, like she knows what's coming and doesn't want to hear it. Interwoven with this is the struggle of Judy (Peter Outerbridge), a male-to-female transsexual...

This warm romantic comedy by newcomer Maria Maggenti is a gay coming-of-age story framed by Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. Randy (Laurel Hillman) is a stoner, lesbian teenager who happens to be failing math and dating a married woman. One day, fellow student Evie (Nicole Parker) drives up to Randy's gas station in a Range Rover and flips her world upside down. Evie is privileged and popular. Randy is poor, impulsive, and according to the other students, a freak. Opposites attract when the two girls kick off their friendship in detention. The flirtation blossoms after Evie introduces tomboyish Randy to the joys of Whitman and opera. Randy returns the favor by acquainting the sheltered Evie with the problems and delights of mature, taboo love. There is a beautiful scene where the...

Oh my God, where to begin with this tragic obliteration of film-making + storytelling. First of all, I want to go on record by saying that any individuals that actually thought this film was good in any way are definately lost + delirious themselves. These people are obviously mislead, unfortunate viewers who are most likely lesbians themselves, and wouldn't know a good film if it fell off of a hundred story buiding, then landed right on top of them. Nobody who's in a right state of mind, and has good taste in films would ever consider giving this movie a single positive thought. That being said, I'll get straight to the point. Okay, this film was so bad, so unbelievably terrible it actually accomplished what I once thought impossible. It made Batman + Robin look like a good film. The...

HBO caused a stir when it aired If These Walls Could Talk, a portrait of three women from three generations (all who occupied the same house at various times) who had unwanted pregnancies. HBO utilizes the same gimmick in the sequel, this time telling the story of women who love women.
The three stories of If These Walls Could Talk 2 are uneven. Far and away the most powerful and moving story is the first, taking place in 1961, starring Vanessa Redgrave as a woman "widowed" when her partner of 50 years suddenly dies. Redgrave is phenomenal, and her piece alone makes this sequel worth watching. The 1972 portion stars Michelle Williams, who finds dealing with the sexual politics of the gay community increasingly more complex when she falls in love with a boyish woman (played...

Four years after Showtime made gay men the focus of its original series Queer as Folk, it was time for a little turnabout with The L Word (bad title, great show). Centering around a tight-knit group of lesbians in Los Angeles, this drama was far removed from its working-class male counterpart in both style and content. While the men of QAF enjoyed a fabulous if melodramatic life on the middle-class streets of Pittsburgh, the women of The L Word lived it up in sunny California, with gorgeous houses, glamorous careers, and sexy wardrobes. Ironically, though, The L Word adhered more to the everyday drama of ensemble shows like thirtysomething than the soap opera antics of QAF, and the results were surprisingly heartfelt and...
