The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B+
"Huffman ... transcends the stunt aspect of the character. She shows us someone who's brave, funny, foolish, touching and, most of all, a survivor."
Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"As a road movie, Transamerica is a middle-achiever, its episodes just varied enough to keep us from losing interest. The film's real asset is Huffman's performance."
The Palm Beach Post: A-
"In a year of several standout female performances, Huffman's is head, shoulder and Adam's apple above them all."
