7. Mary Brown in But I'm a Cheerleader
Not many have seen this satirical sweet romantic comedy, written by Brian Wayne Peterson, but its an interesting film to watch. Our protagonist is Megan Bloomfield, a high school cheerleader with silky blonde hair and big doll eyes. She could be the popular mean girl in any chick flick but there is one problem; her friends and family are convinced that Megan is gay. In order to combat this highly inconvenient dilemma they decide to ship her off to an impatient therapy camp. Yes thats right. Megan is sent to be cured from her gayness. The camp is called True Directions and is led by Mary Brown, our therapist-you-could-do-without. Mary Brown attempts to un-gay her patients through a five-step program. This form of therapy involves forcing the teenagers to act out stereotypical cartoon-like gender roles; the film is shot in stark blue and pink to enforce this idea of gendered definitions. Boys play football in all blue uniforms and the girls change diapers and paint their nails pink. Regardless of your sexuality, anyone who was forced to attend this correctional facility would come out worse for wear. Mary Brown is also highly ignorant of the fact that her own son is desperate to come out of the closet. Big-time bad therapist.
