TransAmerica Ready for my close up



It was such an amazing weekend this past week.
I went to this South African restaurant with my friend from South Africa and after that we went to see this awesome movie.
Just like the restaurant, this movie proved to be quite a satisfying treat.
Felicity Huffman was unbelievable in the role of Bree ( yeah I thought that was funny too, she had the name of another Desperate Housewife).
Bree was first Stanley a man who felt awkward in a man's body and decides to change into a woman.
Well just a week before he's ready to transform in the butterfly, fate decides to drop a load on him.
Seems he fathered a child during a one-night one time fling with some chick that meant very little to him.
And so before the clinic will let him go where very few men have gone before, he must reconcile with his past and meet this teenage boy he produced 17 years before.
Well as you might have guessed much mayhem follows our 2 heroes as they get to know each other.
Bree becomes a church lady who want to help this lonely boy find peace and his father.
But "she" doesn't tell him that he is in fact the very father he's been looking for.
WELL believe it or not our little teenage boy falls in love with our church lady / father and ends up creating much havoc.
All in all this is a wild and crazy ride through the lives of two very scared and lonely people and one hell of an adventure in discovery.
Go spend an afternoon at the matinee watching this movie and you'll see what I mean.
And on Oscar night don't be surprised if a certain Desperate actress walks up and excepts a well deserved award for transforming herself into one totally convincing man.
And I might add the son played by Kevin Zegers was just as wonderful.
A pleasure to see such talent in this unknown, that I feel will become much more known very soon.
