To make sure it doesn't, Huffman's Bree goes to the other extreme. She is hyper-feminine, favoring pink suits and breathy pronouncements that she means to sound womanly but that seem stagy instead. Her discomfort in her still-transforming skin is obvious. Although she lives in anything-goes Los Angeles, she's spinster prim. Tucker says that at first movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, whose new company is distributing ''Transamerica" domestically, didn't even recognize Huffman on screen.

Felicity did a wonderful job as Bree. It is so easy to use transsexual people as a joke but she portrayed her character as a very real human being. We’ll be cheering for Felicity and the movie at the “Oscars” – she deserves to win the best actress award for sure!

The movie works largely because of Huffman. Without her sensitive and intelligent performance, the movie's flaws would overwhelm. But her restraint is wonderful as is her comic timing. For a movie with so much to say and with such eccentric characters, it movies along rather ploddingly. But the key to the movie's success, again, is that Huffman doesn't portray Bree as eccentric. In fact, she is probably the least eccentric in the movie.

It should ... be noted that while Huffman got all the performance kudos, her co-star Kevin Zegers also does a hell of a job. He's come a long way from those Air Bud movies. Fionnula Flanagan also has a terrific supporting role as Huffman's character's disapproving, over-the-top mother.
