Bree gets a telephone call from a seventeen year old man named Toby Wilkins, who is looking for Stanley, his biological father. Toby is in a New York jail, having been supporting himself by petty crime and hustling. Stanley/Bree knew nothing about Toby before the telephone call.

Masquerading as a Christian social worker, Bree, not telling him either of her true identity or her transgender status, bails Toby out of jail and tells him she will take him to Los Angeles, where Toby has aspirations of becoming a porn actor and reconnecting with his biological father. As Bree and Toby take their trans-American journey which includes some interesting encounters along the way, Bree has to decide what is best for Toby while having the foremost goal of making it back to Los Angeles for the scheduled surgery..
Plot: Bree is about to get a sex reassignment surgery that will finally allow her to actually be what she’s already been in her mind for a long time: a transitioned woman. Yet before this happens she suddenly runs into her son who ends up coming for the trip across the United States.

A First Class Movie
I usually avoid Transsexual movies as they make me uncomfortable ! That’s why I avoided the movie “Transamerica” when it came out . But being a movie fan I kept reading reviews that were saying how great the movie was and how great the actors were . So I finally rented the movie in 2011 and viewed it for the first time . I had seen ‘The Angry Inch’ and it did nothing for me . Then I saw “A Soldiers Girl” and that movie stuck with me but it was violent . Then I viewed Transamerica and was at last entertained . Felicity Huffman , was an Oscar’s performance to say the least and she did win that award . She was amazing and I do not think a male playing the role could have carried it off as well . All the actors were 100 percent human and able to reach the audience ! Kevin Segers is a bright spot in the movie as Toby , Bree’s son that she did not know she had. Kevin’s performance was nothing short of Oscar material , which he should have won something . There are a lot of great up and coming actors from Canada . And if it were not for the Canadians we would not have movies like this , and “The Barbarian Invasion”s . Hollywood just cannot come out of the closet long enough to make a movie in this genre , let alone in off the wall subjects. I gave this welcome flick 8 stars out of 10 . ciao yaaah69
Good effort minus the stereotypes and clichés
This film features an Oscar-nominated performance by Felicity Huffman and was produced by Huffman’s husband, William H. Macy.A woman in the midst of her gender transition (man to woman) is denied permission for the ultimate surgery until she has come to terms with her son (Kevin Zegers), who has just rung up out of nowhere — she didn’t know she fathered a son during some youthful fling.
She leaves California for the East Coast, to get her gorgeous young son out of jail, without telling him she’s his father. They drive across America, meet people, have adventures, get on each other’s nerves. Every time they get in to the car, some annoying country music plays. Very old fashioned.
Although there is merit here, and the film is moderately interesting, the stereotypes are annoying. One is sympathetic to someone who is transitioning, but does the transition need to be to a woman who must dress in pink and says things like, “Don’t talk like that to a lady!” There’s lots of simpering going on. OK — she has one good line: “I’m a transsexual, not a transvestite.” For the son’s part, he’s been jailed for working as a rent boy. Does he have to seem so depressed when he turns a trick? And Huffman’s mother, played by Fionnulla Flanagan, is the most awful mother stereotype of all, who can’t deal with the fact that her son is becoming a woman until she suddenly does deal with it.
This movie deals sympathetically with an important issue; but did they have to throw every cliché in the book at it? And the worst cliché of all: Lying is the worst sin. And if you are technically a male, never deny it, particularly to your son (although he doesn’t know he’s her son at that point, he just thinks she’s some nice religious lady), because he’ll get really, really upset, but not because of the male genitals, but because you lied to him.
How does this all work out? Does it all work out? Watch and find out. Still I’d recommend it because it does try and deal with a complex subject that isn’t that well understood now and probably much less so when this film was made over a decade ago.
