The true story of Will Ferrell's longtime friend and SNL writer Andrew Steele and how she became Harper Steele, as they embark on a cross-country road trip to reacquaint themselves. This film treats its subject very sensitively and presents a candid and compassionate look at the situation, particularly how Will relates to someone he's known all his life, who now presents as someone different. Driving across middle America, stopping off at greasy diners and sporting events, the most unpredictable moments come when other strangers remark upon the situation and that's when the uncomfortable truths come out. Will acts as a support system who runs interference during these difficult times by just being a good friend. More than anything, it serves as a testament to friendship, empathy and lending a sympathetic ear to those in need. Of course, it always helps when your friend is a world renowned celebrity.
