I tend to love films where a flawed protagonist's perception of reality changes dramatically during the film.

Hi Andrea, I just watched TransAmerica for the first time and wow it was amazing :] I loved Brie so much and she touched my heart. It was so great and really was just like a modern coming of age film about a family coming together. I loved it! I was hoping to see you and Calpernia in the special features though, they should have put in her 10 things not to ask a transexual :P
well I'm going to Blockbuster again now, hopefully I find something as interesting again. :]
Thanks for the Add Andrea! You're looking better than ever. I hope we can hang out sometime. You are a true beacon of light and a star amongst stars. Here we are at the Xmas party a few years back. Melissa(my ex), Callie, You and a friend. That's me behind the camera.Take care.
