Movie Review

Despite the cold temperature and rather strong winds blowing, I ventured out to the movie theater this afternoon to see the film I'd planned on going to yesterday (but didn't because of a brief but furious snowstorm). As you can tell from the picture below, I saw "Transamerica" and I'm glad I went to see it before it left the local theaters. After reading some reviews, I thought it sounded interesting.

Plot Outline: A pre-operative male-to-female transsexual takes an unexpected journey when she learns that she fathered a son, now a teenage runaway hustling on the streets of New York.

So to sum up this brief review, I found the film both very touching as well as having several funny scenes. The acting by Felicity Huffman is excellent and the actor playing her son, Kevin Zegers, does a decent acting job and is very hot (so I can overlook any acting flaws, and he has a couple of nude scenes).

My rating for this movie is **** (4 stars)
