People revisit But I'm a Cheerleader for the same reason it broke through in 2000: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a romance rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Jamie Babbit keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The comedy and romance blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
