A sour-and-sweet cocktail that introduces pulpy ingredients to the usual story of sex-change transition, Robyn Symon's Uncle Gloria: One Helluva Ride introduces a macho man from Florida who decided to become a woman, at least in part, as a way to avoid imprisonment for unpaid alimony. Underexploring its less sympathetic aspects in favor of a feel-good senior citizen narrative, the doc lacks the psychological depth and sensitivity of many other recent trans-oriented films. Even among those that embrace the outrageousness sometimes inherent in these transitions, it is overshadowed by Michael Del Monte's new Transformer, about a champion male weightlifter who became a woman in the public eye.
