Rating:  - Awesomely Hilarious!!!
This movie is one of my favorites. Nia Vardalos (My big fat greek wedding) did it again with this movie. I love unsuspected humor and this movie is full of it. A great movie!
Rating:  - I wanted to hate it, but ...
On principle, I wanted to hate this movie. I'm really tired of movies or television shows that exploit the gay community, depicting all gay men as cartoonish drama queens obsessed with superficial things, while dubiously preaching "tolerance". And in terms of the story, it's derivative and borrows from a slew of other movies including (but not limited to) "Sister Act", "To Wong Foo", "Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion" and even "Thelma and Louise". But there was something about this movie that made it impossible for me to hate it. Perhaps it was the sincerity of all the lead performances. Or the love of music that permeates every aspect of the film. Or maybe it's just that Toni Collette is so amazing that she can make anything watchable. In any case, for all its flaws, "Connie and Carla" was amusing and enjoyable enough to watch once. But I don't plan on any repeat viewings.
Rating:  - What a gem!
Connie and Carla is one of the most hilarious, heart-warming, feel-good movies I've ever seen! Despite the drag queen premise, this DVD will appeal to a broad audience because ultimately it is about people, dealing with the problems facing them in the most creative and life-affirming manner imaginable!
The appearance of the always fabulous Debbie Reynolds is the cherry on top of this frothy and sweet delight. (And, yes, we did love her in What's the Matter With Helen!!)
If you're a fan of musical comedy, family films or just great movies, Connie and Carla belongs in your DVD collection,
Rating: - Dinner Theatre
Connie and Carla is a real delight, original and touching. The music and singing are good and the storyline is a funny fantasy with an emotional tug few films deliver. A cult film with appeal.
This film might not be the perfect match for children of a certain age if their parents are not prepared to let them see a movie about the subject of men dressing up like women or being gay. On the whole, the storyline is well suited for provoking discussion concerning those topics - if for some reason one might need to broach the issue.
Rating: - D King
A thoroughly enjoyable movie. Sad and hilarious parts but most importantly was David Duchovny's role as locating and trying to get to know his estranged brother and the gradual understanding, appreciation and acceptance of his brother's lifestyle. David Duchovny did a superb job and for me this was the core/message of the movie. He loved his brother for who he was and the lifestyle he lived made no difference.
