On the road

What did you think of this as a road movie? — that hallowed American film tradition where two or more people, ususally at odds in some way, get in a car and drive across our beautiful country, usually from East to West (in true frontier spirit), and end up closer to each other, or with a greater understanding of themselves, at the end of the trip. Did Transamerica just follow the cliche route of road movies, or did it take some unexpected detours?

For comparison, here are some road movies I thought of: Little Miss Sunshine, Thelma and Louise, Dumb and Dumber, Another Day in Paradise (this is fantastic), Kalifornia, Lost in America, the Wizard of Oz ... a million others.

(What is your favorite road movie, by the way?)
