BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER is a comedy, from 1999, in which a teenager is forced to attend a residential course to alter her sexuality.

language
There is strong language ('f**k', 'c**ksucker'), as well as milder terms including 'bitch', 'shit', 'dick', 'crap' and 'ass'.
sex
A girl shows another girl an image of a topless model, with breasts and pubis exposed. There is also a crude joke about eating fish, and various other verbal sex references. During some scenes it is implied that people are masturbating and, in one instance, two teenagers appear to be having sex under a table.
additional issues
There are several uses of discriminatory terms such as 'dyke', 'fag', 'sissy' and 'fruit'. However, these occur in the context of a comedy which lampoons homophobia.
