One thing I did find myself thinking about was the film’s handling of its trans character Jess (played by Benny Zielk), the son of sheriff Greg Phillippe (Lochlyn Munro). To the movie’s credit, the character isn’t portrayed as a complete punchline. They’re confident, self-assured, and able to hold their own. However, Jess’s transition becomes the butt of the joke for a significant portion of their storyline. And while I appreciated Jess as a character, I found myself wishing the movie trusted the audience to connect with them without relying so heavily on jokes about their identity.
