Synopsis

Even though she has a boyfriend, teenager Megan just isn't that into him. In fact, her uptight family and high school friends actually think she's a lesbian and stage an intervention, sending her to a rehabilitation centre to 'cure' her. However, things don't go as planned and whilst there Megan discovers that she really is gay. An unconventional and outrageously styled comedy, it tackles homophobia and sexuality in a way that doesn't preach. A lighthearted take on a serious subject, this is a modern camp classic.
