D-Dad and I saw Transamerica the other night. It was a good film - it tells the story of a man on the verge of a sex change operation who discovers that A) he fathered a child in his youth, and B) that child is motherless and troubled and needs his help. Stanley/Bree reluctantly travels cross country to meet his son and brings the boy back West. I don't want to give away more of the plot than this.
It's a good, although not superlative film. Felicity Huffman stars as Stanley/Bree, and she is Reese Whitherspoon's biggest competition for this year's Best Actress Oscar, IMO (both actresses won Golden Globes, and Whitherspoon won the SAG).
It's a story well told, although it's a bit slow in places. Imperfect, but interesting. Not intended for action/adventure fans - it's a relationship film.
