This movie is hilarious!!! Richard Moll has a great role, and so does Cathy Moriarty. The premise is that most straight parents would probably like to send their gay & lesbian kids to some kind of school for heterosexual rehabilitation. The school and the Headmistress (Moriarty) tries hard to really help these kids (in a tongue in cheek manner), and that just makes the movie funnier! The message is that we are who we are? Perhaps we are who we eat? But it is all fun, and while there are some philosophical issues; the school is played for laughs, and the kids are not degraded or verbally abused beyond having to go to that school. Their ideas and reactions to the situations are wholesome and heartwarming and show that kids are kids regardless of orientation. The surprise ending is funny, and the movie leaves you with a positive feeling.
