	YMA Movie Review - Connie and Carla
		Connie and Carla is a comedy about two friends who dress up as men pretending to be women in order to escape a crime scene where they are witnesses to a murder.
		Connie and Carla flee for their lives and drive off to find a new life, unaware they also have a kilo of cocaine.
		Connie and Carla expose their breasts to the audience to reveal that they are in fact women—this is shown from a back view.

	Movie Review - Connie and Carla - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		Since Connie and Carla aren't very pretty, all they have to do is tart themselves up a bit and dress in gaudy clothing and they'll look like men dressed as women.
		Connie and Carla's onstage mantra of accepting yourself even if you're not beautiful and in perfect shape resonates with the audience (even though most of them ARE beautiful and in perfect shape, making their endorsement of that philosophy seem a little hollow), and the girls are finally living their dream.
		Carla, meanwhile, is nervous about the success she and Connie are having at the club.

	Reeling: the Movie Review Show's review of Connie and Carla
		Inevitably,” Connie and Carla” will be compared with Billy Wilder’s cross dressing comedy classic, “Some Like It Hot,” and Blake Edwards’s “Victor/Victoria,” with a woman (Julie Andrews) posing as a man so she can perform as a woman impersonator.
		Connie sees this as a two fold opportunity – if they pretend to be drag queens they can hide in plain sight and, with a little luck, land a singing gig.
		No, you grow up' as a lovers' spat, claims that "Connie and Carla" is based on her own experiences doing dinner theater, perhaps a more fitting venue for this simple, unoriginal story with it's amusing song and dance routines.

		Nia Vardalos as Connie in Connie and Carla - 2004
		Connie and Carla, whom everyone assumes are guys, give advice to the women in the audience, teaching the radically non-L.A. philosophy of avoiding Botox and diets.
		One of the storylines has Jeff (David Duchovny), the straight brother of one of the drag queens in Connie and Carla's chorus line, falling for Connie but rejecting his feelings for her since he is not gay.

	Connie and Carla
		Connie and Carla is writer Nia Vardalos' follow-up to the surprise smash hit of 2002, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which she wrote and starred in.
		She and Carla (Toni Collette) are determined to make it in showbusiness, despite the assurances of their boyfriends that their talents have no beginning.
		Connie And Carla is certainly an amusing way to spend a couple of hours, but don't expect too much; after all, it's not easy to follow an overnight success.

	CONNIE AND CARLA - WIDESCREEN DVD
		Connie (Vardalos) and Carla (Collette) are a pathetic lounge act playing in airport bars when they witness, Sister Act-style, mobsters being mobsters.
		The result of all this ass-clownery is that Connie and Carla comes off as something every bit as cheesy and embarrassing as an actual dinner theatre show while the lovely Collette is made to look like Chita Rivera and Vardalos is made to look just like herself with a little more blue eyeliner.
		We learn that Vardalos began the script without an inkling that Connie and Carla would become drag queens as well as that she sought out Lembeck based on the kindness he showed her on the set of the sitcom "Two Guys and a Girl".

	Political Film Society - Connie and Carla
		Connie and Carla, as more than a cult classic, may have displaced La cage aux folles and its sequels (1978, 1980, 1985, 1996).
		But Connie (played by Nia Vardalos) and Carla (played by Toni Collette), who perform at the West Hollywood nightclub Handlebar, are actually women disguised as men who pretend to be women.
		Interestingly, many prominent straight reviewers have given Connie and Carla a poor rating; but film critics, who view prerelease tapes, unfortunately cannot hear the raucous laughter and postscreening applause of film audiences, gay and straight, in The Grove, a cinema on the outskirts of West Hollywood.

	A Movie Parable: Connie and Carla
		In Connie and Carla, two airport lounge singers are on the run from mobsters who want to kill them.
		The act of Connie (Nia Vardalos) and Carla (Toni Collette) is comprised of recycled Broadway musical hits which fail to generate much interest among the bored passengers waiting for their flight to be called.
		Connie falls for him but, of course, can't tell him that she really is a girl.

	Connie and Carla (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In that vein, Connie and Carla essentially combines elements of Some Like It Hot, the classic Billy Wilder comedy starring Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, and Victor/Victoria, the Blake Edwards film that features Julie Andrews as a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman.
		Connie and Carla win over the tough crowd by actually singing the songs and not lip-synching.
		At one point, Carla's fellow dancers feel her breasts (through her clothes) in the incorrect belief that they are falsies.

	'Connie and Carla' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		"Connie and Carla" is Nia Vardalos' follow-up to her blockbuster "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." When that romantic comedy caught fire, people started knocking at her door asking, "What else do you have?" It turned out she had a script about women hiding out as drag queens.
		Connie (Vardalos) and Carla (Collette) have been a duo since they were girls in the school cafeteria fending off shouts of "Get off the stage." When the movie opens, they're in a Midwestern airport lounge, belting out songs from "Oklahoma," "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Cats" as planes drone overhead and the few customers nod off.
		"Connie and Carla" is a movie about drag queens for the masses or middle America, not that there's anything wrong with that.

	"Connie and Carla" / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		“Connie and Carla” tells the story of two life-long friends who have always enjoyed singing and performing together.
		The opening scene shows Connie (Nia Vardalos) and Carla (Toni Collette) in grade-school, singing to their classmates in the cafeteria.
		“Connie and Carla” is an occasionally funny movie, that borrows far too much from other, better made films, and it’s own original attempts at humor frequently fall flat.

	Connie and Carla
		It’s easy to see pieces of past films in Connie and Carla, they are running away after seeing a mob hit (Some Like it Hot) and they become women playing men who are impersonating women (Victor Victoria).
		Connie (Nia Vardalos) and Carla (Toni Collette) are small town entertainers and their act is less than stellar even though they have been working on it since the sixth grade.
		Connie and Carla should be the surprise hit of the Spring at least for anyone who want’s to giggle and laugh for two hours.

	USATODAY.com - Vardalos' 'Connie and Carla' is more like loopy and clichd (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Connie and Carla (Vardalos and Toni Collette) are childhood best friends obsessed with entertaining, even if it means singing show tunes in school cafeterias and nearly empty airport lounges.
		One of the drawbacks is they can't blow their cover as men, which puts a crimp in their social lives as straight women.
		Had Connie and Carla been done right, it could have been a throwback to an earlier era, an homage to Some Like It Hot.

	Connie and Carla (2004): Reviews
		Connie (Vardalos) and Carla (Colette) are two small-town girls whose dreams of stardom have taken them nowhere.
		Connie and Carla is a good-hearted comedy that missteps by trying to become a moralistic one.
		Connie and Carla doesn't just do violence to the memory of Wilder's brilliant sex farce (Some Like It Hot); it's so clumsy, it might give cross-dressing itself a bad name.

		Its plot is "Some Like It Hot" meets "Victor/Victoria" and it's not half as clever as either, but "Connie and Carla" -- Nia Vardalos' writing-starring follow-up to "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" -- earns its share of amused grins for campy show tunes and cross-dressing gags.
		Of course his inexplicable attraction to Connie, whom he thinks is a man dressed as a woman, only serves to confuse the poor guy further.
