That_Beatles_Girl Connie and Carla, two Broadway musical-lovin' middle-aged best friends, are having trouble finding work. When they witness their boss being killed by two criminals, they head to L.A. and end up posing as drag queens in order to stay under the radar. However, their act is too impressive and the duo quickly become a sensation. This spells trouble for Connie and Carla because the men who killed their former boss is after them. Meanwhile, Connie falls for the brother of another drag queen, but cannot reveal her identity because it would blow their cover. At first I was wary of what appeared to be yet another "Some Like It Hot" knock-off, but by the first 15 minutes I had fallen in love with the movie. Connie and Carla are two of the most likable female characters in recent cinema and you can't help but feel for them during their highs and lows.I don't know who the target audience of "Connie and Carla" is supposed to be. Single women? Gay men? Well, it doesn't really matter. "C&C" is a great feel-good film, no matter what some nasty film critics may say. Great costume design, musical numbers (the actresses faired quite well in the singing department) and amazing chemistry between all the actors help to make this a very enjoyable film.

ann howard Nia Vardolos is both a gifted writer and actress, much overlooked perhaps (and unfairly) due to her ethnicity? Her near perfect comedic timing is matched only by her excellent comedic playwriting. She uses just the right amount of over-the-top staging to accent her poignant situations. She creates chemistry with whoever is in a scene with her. When she kissed David Duchovny's character she made me rethink my own sexuality for a moment which is a refreshing breeze up-the-skirt! In my opinion, she and Toni Colette, a great actress in her own right, sang and vamped better than Catherine and Renee in "Chicago." I have seen this movie 3 times now, and I am going to purchase it for my home library to share with friends and family.

Kelly (hisown) In short, I really enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would. When I would go through my Direct TV program guide and see it listed as an offering I would skip it but for some reason today I decided to give it a go. I'm glad I did.Kind-of a mix of Sister Act, Victor/Victoria and the Birdcage this film is fun from start to finish. Campy, silly, and corny it is just plain enjoyable (if you enjoy light drag-queen humor however - I suppose those who find men dressing badly as women non-entertaining would not enjoy this movie). I was thrilled to see Debbie Reynolds (is that a spoiler?) show up toward the end of the film and do a little song-and-dance herself. Maybe movie-goers were looking for another "Greek Wedding", but I seriously don't know why this didn't do better in the theaters. Nia Vardalos has a keen sense of humor and should keep on writing for stage as well as screen. I wasn't aware of her singing ability, although it's doubtful she will ever be considered the next Streisand (she and Toni Colette do a passable version of "Don't Rain On My Parade") she can certainly belt out a tune when necessary.While "Connie and Carla" is not brain-food it definitely does a good job of keeping you smiling and laughing, all the while making a positive statement about drag-culture and the gay community. Rent it, buy it, watch it on a pay channel but definitely see it if you want to have a good time.

AndrewPhillips I had great hopes for this movie, two actresses I have enjoyed watching before on screen and lots of show tunes what could I not like.In fact I did like it, there were some funny moments, the stage numbers were good, both ladies performing very well, Toni in particular. Stroke of genius having Debbie Reynolds turn up at the end, though it would have been good to see all of the song, just to make it a bit camper! So there is lots going for it, that said it is what it is, light and without a great deal of substance. I expect it will appeal to gay men more than any other demographic group but it should not be dismissed out of hand, because of that, so lets not get snobby about what is essentially a bit of fun.
