Did anyone see "Connie & Carla" what a great movie |
|
It's the second movie to come out from Nia Vardalos, who wrote "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". This movie obviously did not do as well but I have to admit it - I really enjoyed it!!!
Connie & Carla are 2 gals that love singing in dinner theater but accidently witnessed a murder. So they move to LA to hide from the murderers and end up doing dinner theater in a West Hollywood Bar - as Drag Queens.
Sure the plot is proposterious, but the music was great (Plenty of Show Tunes) and they had a nice subplot where one of the Drag Queens was meeting up with his younger straight-laced brother for the first time in like 15 years (Played by David Duchovny).
As weak as the plot got to be sometime (I mean geez, couldn't these men tell they were women!), it was still just a fun movie to watch and listen to showtunes (their twist was they were actually singing the songs instead of lipsyncing).
Great watch if you need a fun movie!!

It was enetertaining; not a knockout by any respect, but it was still pretty good.

a movie can be filled with silly plot developments and unbelieveable occurrences. But - DID IT ENTERTAIN? To me that's the important thing; that's why I watch movies. :D

a lot of movie critics don't understand that sometimes we just want mindless fun, and that's exactly what Connie and Carla was.
