2	Published in 2014, ''Two 4 One'' is a rom-com indie movie notable for having a transgender romantic lead and being set in Canada, not just filmed there. It's also the first feature-length film by genderqueer director Maureen Bradley. Here's the [[http://two4onefilm.com official webpage]].
3	----
4	!! Two 4 One contains examples of:
5
6	* AmbiguouslyJewish: Miriam has a Hebrew name (matching Adam’s no less) and there's a [[FreezeframeBonus brief moment]] where one of the trinkets of her children’s decor collection appears to be a Nazar.
7	* BilingualBonus: When practicing her French, Franny occasionally personalizes the phrases instead of repeating them verbatim, leading to sweet statements about her family.
8	-->"Je vous présente... ma fils.”
9	* BlatantLies: Adam tells his boss he got a flat tire, while at home applying for different jobs.
10	* ButICantBePregnant: While possible in real life, Adam’s improbable pregnancy never directly involves certain flesh and blood anatomy.
11	* CanadianEqualsHockeyFan: Downplayed example of Adam and the locals who invite him to a game.
12	* CoolOldLady: Franny and her laid-back lifestyle.
13	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Played for laughs in the opening scene when Adam’s using a long measuring stick to demonstrate mattress sag.
14	-->"…four or five [inches] is considered normal. It’s a little disappointing, I guess, but it’s normal."
15	* EasySexChange: Thoroughly averted, being an unfortunate truth in television as well as a major part of the plot. Adam is shown struggling with dysphoria, coming out, and medical red tape as well as the financial costs of hormones and saving up for bottom surgery with a minimum wage job and no health insurance benefits. Thanks, Mattress King!
16	* HomosexualReproduction: Thanks to the presumably cis sperm donor and Adam being a trans man, [[spoiler: the twins technically have]] two dads.
17	* LawOfInverseFertility: Presumed-infertile Adam gets pregnant and [[spoiler:baby crazy Miriam suffers a miscarriage.]]
18	* MisterSeahorse: A rare realistic example with trans man Adam getting pregnant.
19	* OldFriendNewGender: Complete with a “Did I hit on you?” moment.
20	* QueerRomance: The protagonist is a trans man whose girlfriend gets him pregnant. No labels are used for her, but she's presumably bi, given she finds him attractive after his gender transition too.
21	* StrawVegetarian: Specific diets and the people who follow them are poked fun at. An especially comedic scene is when Adam [[spoiler: starts coming out to]] his co-workers and one assumes the important thing he has to tell them is ''he's a vegan.''
22	* TransEqualsGay: Averted, Adam’s always liked girls.
23	* VisualInnuendo: Some of the flower arrangements at Franny’s house have a certain… ovarian look.
