Okay, I love this graphic on the right because that is the total opposite of what Felicity Huffman looked like in this movie and obviously the PTB decided that the movie wouldn’t sell well on DVD without a more attractive cover.
I actually watched this movie a couple weeks ago and just never got around to reviewing it. From an imDB summary, “One week before her sex-change operation, Bree receives a jailcell call from a 17-year-old identifying himself as her son from a college liaison with a young woman. Bree’s psychiatrist won’t approve the surgery until Bree deals with this relationship, so Bree flies to New York City, bails the youth out of juvenile detention, and offers him a ride back to Los Angeles without disclosing that she is his father.”
I liked this movie a lot. I thought it was well-written, thoughtfully acted, nicely directed and not exploitative at all. Fecility Huffman did a nice job – I admit I was distracted during the first ten minutes because I knew it was a woman playing a man, but after a while I got into it and didn’t nitpick FH’s dowdy appearance. The movie had a lot of emotional highs and lows. There were a few genuine laugh-out-loud moments as well as more than a few heartbreaking ones. But in the end when the credits rolled I was glad that I had rented this one, and I recommend it to you as well.

Hey there… just wanted to point something out.
The Cover shows a beautiful F.H. However I own the movie and the original cover and its a Hologram if you look at it one way it beautiful F.H. If you look at it another way its her in full makeup. I too love this movie. It has one of my favorite actress’ in it (Felicity Huffman) and one of my Fake Boyfriends (Kevin Zegers) *drool*
This movie was much better than stupid that “gay cowboys” movie!
Hey… what is that about? I can’t use the word “G@Y” on your website??? Why is that? See censored post above.
Yeah, I don’t know why you can’t say gay either, since I said the word in my post! My bad word list must have it on there – I’ll go take that word out since I don’t consider it a bad word!!
okay, you know what I noticed? If you hover your mouse over the crossed out word, it SHOWS the word! *lol*
“If you hover your mouse over the crossed out word, it SHOWS the word!”
Oh, now that’s G@Y! But funny… now you just make me want to use bad words just to see if they are censored too. *grin
