When it was announced that NBC would be airing a new show from Aaron Sorkin we were filled with much joy.

Hoping to start catching up on all the films that are likely to garner Oscar nominations, Seattlest went to see Felicity Huffman's Golden Globe-winning turn in Transamerica, playing to a surprisingly packed house (on a weeknight no less!) at Pacific Place. Huffman is indeed excellent as a pre-op transsexual named Bree whose appointment to take the final plunge into womanhood is threatened when she learns she fathered a son named Toby, played competently by Kevin Zegers, who needs bailing out in more ways than one. Turns out the lad has picked up a few bad habits in his 17 years of fatherlessness, including drug use, prostitution, and lousy hair care. The movie follows the unlikely pair on a cross-country trip where their reluctant fondness for one another begins to drag them from their respective coping mechanisms against the injustices of life.
