Our next retro $5 Wednesday flick is a campy classic gay comedy with an epic acting ensemble of past and future stars! The cult fervour for this early 2000s video store queer favourite remains as strong as ever thanks to its streaks of black humour, John Waters–inspired aesthetic and colour palette, and sincere performances from its romantic leads.

This whimsically edgy comedy, directed by Jamie Babbit, follows teenager Megan (Natasha Lyonne), whose suburban existence filled with friends, cheerleading, and all-American fun is upended when her straight-laced parents suspect she may be a lesbian. In a panic, they send her to True Directions, a rehabilitation camp run by the strict and prudish Mary (Cathy Moriarty), to mount an intervention led by counselor Mike (RuPaul Charles). Megan dutifully follows the program until she develops feelings for another camper (Clea DuVall) in this timeless, satirical romantic-comedy about self-acceptance and love, also costarring Eddie Cibrian, Melanie Lynskey, and Michelle Williams.
