Leaving Normal
I liked "Leaving Normal". It thought it had a good message: that your family is whoever you make your family, and that you don't need a man/husband to be fulfilled. The women in it were realistic in that you hated them half the time and loved them the other half. I love the last scene where they are praying to "whoever" in their newly built home with their "children" Heartwarming...:)
My favorite road film this year (besides Little Miss Sunshine because I had already seen that many times and love it) was "Adventures of Pricilla: Queen of the Desert." I thought it was really funny, and had an important message about transgender people that is often absent from today's discourse. Good characters, good plot...all around good movie.
