Full Plot Details

Southern Californian Bree Osbourne, formerly Stanley Chupak, has finally received the news for which she has been waiting: she has been approved for male-to-female sexual reassignment surgery. But before Margaret, her therapist, will allow her to go through with the surgery scheduled in a week's time, Bree has to deal with an unresolved problem from her past. 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. Toby apparently is all alone in the world, with his mother having committed suicide and being estranged from his stepfather in Tennessee. 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.

Movie Reviews

Cinerina - 10/10 by Karina MontgomeryNot neat, nor tidy; a road trip-redemption movie you've never seen before.* It's really beautiful, - I hope it gives people a reason to love and tolerate where they never might have before.
Arizona Daily Star - 10/10 by Phil VillarrealTucker toes the line between indie raggedness and studio-produced sheen. His script and tone carry the jagged edges of a personal story, with characters that seem to possess a free will beyond studio formula.
Hollywood.com - 9/10 by Kit BowenThe delightfully off-centered Transamerica is one those juicy little character pieces that allows Felicity Huffman to turn in an unbelievably gutsy, Oscar-worthy performance.
Orlando Weekly - 9/10 by Steve SchneiderThere's a reason Felicity Huffman's lead performance is the only element of Transamerica that's getting any awards play: Nothing else about the film is especially noteworthy.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Tom LongA generally fun movie that offers a different perspective on, well, a different perspective.
Jam! Movies - 9/10 by Liz BraunTransamerica is a strange and wonderful film about becoming one's true self, whatever that may entail.
MovieFreak.com - 9/10 by Sara Michelle FettersNever has a movie dealing with transgender topics done so with such passion, pathos, power and clarity. Not Boys Don't Cry, not Different for Girls and most certainly not Tootsie or Mrs. Doubtfire.
Monsters and Critics - 9/10 by Ron WilkinsonA collision of adult sexual contradictions and teenage sexual survival filled with sensitivity, respect and, above all, humor.
New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottTransamerica, starring Felicity Huffman as a pre-operative transsexual, is touching and sometimes funny, despite its overall air of indie earnestness.
Laramie Movie Scope - 9/10 by Robert RotenDespite the dullness of the main character, there are enough other interesting characters and plot developments to make the story compelling.
