Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

disdressed12 this movie isn't for me,but i could see how people would like it.it has two very likable leads in Nia Vardalos and Toni Collette.both are great actresses and work well off each other very well here.they both have great comedic timing.and their are some great witty moments here.but for me,there's just too many musicals,and i'm not really a musical fan.plus,i kinda found the film quite slow.i'm not really into the drag queen scene in movies either.i knew what the movie was about before watching it but i still thought id' give it a shot.if you're a musical fan and you have a bit of patience,this movie might work for,and you might really enjoy it. my vote for Connie and Carla is a 4/10

Erin (lotr_freak514) This movie was literally the most fun I've had watching a movie in a long time! It's refreshingly different from the mainstream and made me smile, laugh out loud, and sit on the edge of my seat. Nia Vardalos is brilliant! The script is great with lots of little jokes and inside jokes, and once you discover them you will laugh even harder at a moment which was already funny. But, other than writing a great script, Nia Vardalos(Connie) and Toni Colette(Carla) did a fantastic job of acting their corny, cute characters. Another great asset to the movie was the great chemistry between Vardalos and David Duchovny. I loved this movie, and hope that you too will enjoy this spunky story of two women pretending to be men pretending to be women.

waterwolfie This movie is hilarious! Sure it's corny... but I haven't seen a stage show yet that wasn't. The over-blown drama is exactly the way it is in plays, musicals, and dinner theatre. Without the big drama... it's just another movie taking up shelf space at your local video store.Adjusting to the concept of drag queens was strange at first, but by the end of the movie you actually develop an understanding of and insight into why they are who they are and why they do what they do. In the movie they refer to it as an 'art form of being true to one's self' ...and even I can relate to that.The best-friend relationship between Connie and Carla really carries the movie, not to mention all the different characters and the facial expressions they use. The characters also show growing pains along with their growth, which stays true to the drama of Broadway shows.This movie is about two girls having a dream, and overcoming the obstacles of realizing that dream. It's obvious that these actors loved doing this movie and had fun while doing it. This movie has surprisingly become one of my favorite movies. Just watch it and give it a chance... you will adore it.

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.
