I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

OK. I happened on this while surfing, depressed.Maybe too many bevvies.But I loved it.It is silly, non-intellectual, non cerebral, and has no redeeming qualities except that it is fun. The pace never slackens, and the musical performances, if not great art, are good enough to enjoy. If you need to cheer up, and are not sitting with any kind of movie snob, watch this and feel better about life, the universe, and everything. If you are with a movie snob then dump him/her and enjoy it on your own.Nia Vardalos has to be one of God's gifts to the comedy world. Perhaps it is easy to do "ugly" when you are gorgeous, she certainly seems to have fun laughing at herself and all pretensions. Wouldn't it be great to see her try a straight part (like Jim Carrey in "The Majestic")? How about Desdemona? I feel that with a push to stop making fun of herself she could prove to be one of the century's great actresses as well as a comedy queen.

I watched it tonight as a TiVo suggestion. I thought it was a good combo between "To Wong Foo..." and "Victor Victoria". I saw 2 stage performances of the latter (and the movie) but the stage were separated by many years- still fun (in Chicago). Wong Foo I've only seen movie but many times. As a woman of 70, I know that drag queens could teach most of us a lot, and people have often told me I look just like Debbie Reynolds (from my 20's to recently).I wrote in to the cable networks that they messed up by having "Queer Eye for .. girl" using regular lesbians, because they have little to teach other women. I would love lessons on styling from drag queens (if I can't get a free makeover from Nick Arrojo).

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.

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.
