This is a very clever, well written and feel good movie. If you want to be entertained, laugh and appreciate some fun characters, this is the movie to see. You will have a good time. If you watch it with a group of friends, you'll have to rewind a couple of times because everyone will want to see something again.
Summary of Connie And Carla (Widescreen Edition)
Best friends connie & carla have always dreamed of fame & fortune but their careers in show business are going nowhere fast. After witnessing a crime theyre forced to go on the run & keep their true identities secret. The dazzling duo stumble on an ingenious way to let their many talents shine. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Nia Vardalos David Duchovny Run time: 108 minutes Rating: Pg13Some Like It Hot gets a queer makeover in Connie and Carla, a lightweight comedy from the writer and star of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. In Billy Wilder's classic, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis teamed up in a male-as-female drag comedy, whereas here, writer-star Nia Vardalos goes a step further (and several derivative steps backwards), teaming up with Toni Collette as the titular heroines, playing women posing as men posing as women--kind of like Victor/Victoria with excess mascara. They witness a murder, and the killer knows it, so they hightail it out to West Hollywood, where (with the help of poodle wigs and garish cosmetics) they blend in with the performing drag queens at the Handlebar club, where queer makeovers are fabulously mandatory. Connie (that's Vardalos, to Collette's ditzy Carla) gets the hots for a drag queen's straight brother (David Duchovny), and even Debbie Reynolds pitches in to give a show that any gay crowd would love. There are some well-earned laughs along the way, but the whole thing feels like a sitcom we've seen before, which pretty much summarizes Vardalos's career to date. Vardalos has genuine comedic talent (and so does Collette), but it's adrift in this hash of old ideas. --Jeff Shannon
