With just a little tweaking here and there, the film’s campy, satirical edge could have been blunted into something more dire and harder to watch. |
| 172976 | Allyson Johnson | Cambridge Day | Fresh | — | 2022-03-21T21:52:03Z | 2022-03-21 21:52:03 | The film is infused with high-octane energy, larger-than-life humor and a cheeky John Waters aesthetic. |

I suppose the 90s just weren't ready for it. |
| 172996 | Anne Cohen | Refinery29 | Fresh | — | 2018-09-06T18:16:37Z | 2018-09-06 18:16:37 | What makes But I'm A Cheerleader so emotionally affecting is that despite the cotton-candy exterior, the film never lets its audience forget that these are people undergoing a traumatic experience. |

| 173010 | Alexander Walker | London Evening Standard | Fresh | — | 2003-12-15T17:09:24Z | 2003-12-15 17:09:24 | John Waters might have made it all more flagrantly transgressive; but somehow Jamie Babbit's tone fits the pastel-coloured satire quite nicely. |

However, it makes up for this with its superbly game cast. |

| 173025 | Glenn Kenny | Premiere Magazine | Rotten | — | 2001-09-10T14:52:07Z | 2001-09-10 14:52:07 | Lyonne is quite appealing, and rolls her eyes in an utterly irresistible fashion. But Babbit's cartoonish farce is a little too Hanna-Barbera and not enough Tex Avery -- it's obvious, labored, and not particularly clever. |
