Zegers, from recent “Dawn of the Dead” remake, finds multiple dimensions in pic’s potentially most clichéd character, while Flanagan steals her scenes as a flustered red-stater whose maternal instinct finally trumps her blind prejudice.A Variety and iHeartRadio PodcastSullen Toby believes Bree to be a Christian missionary, and has no clue that she’s a he, or that he’s her/his son. Bree's therapist says the surgery consents cannot be signed until she gets "closure" on this, so Bree is forced to travel to New York - posing as a Christian saver of lost souls - to get Toby out of jail, and travel with him cross-country to Los Angeles where her surgeon is waiting, all the time wondering if or when she should tell Toby the truth.

Laugh-out-loud funny, tartly off-color and ultimately touching, this road movie involving the cross-country adventures of a persnickety transsexual, and the runaway street hustler son whose existence is news to her, reps a triumphantly genre-bending bow for writer-director Duncan Tucker.On the verge of qualifying for the surgery that will complete her transformation from Stanley to Sabrina Claire Osborne, primly wry Bree (Felicity Huffman) is given one last hurdle by therapist Margaret (Elizabeth Pena): She must spring Toby (Kevin Zegers), a previously unknown son from a long-ago hetero encounter, from detention on charges ranging from street-hustling to “shoplifting a frog.”Discreetly strong tech contributions are led by Mark White’s spot-on production design, which conveys the cluttered conservative charm of mid-America on a series of locations in New York State and Arizona.
