Transamerica (2005)

Synopsis: A transexual on the brink of having his sex-change operation unexpectedly finds out about a son from a casual sex encounter with a now dead former college friend.

Appraisal (spoilers): Road drama which has little dramatic strength due mostly to poorly written characters who have little depth and at times behave unconvincingly (possible lowest point: the boy trying to have sex with Bree). Every cliché of recent films is in this movie - the car-stealing hiker, the sexually abusing stepfather, etc. Not completely unwatchable, yet a sad reminder of the lowering writing standards of modern films.

Rating: 30
