I bought this film for my wife because she was a big fan of Nia Vardalos in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and Toni Collette in "Muriel's Wedding". I wasn't expecting much because if memory serves it received lukewarm critical reaction and barely registered a blip at the box office. Much to my surprise I was entertained from start to finish. I was expecting a tired rehash of "Some Like It Hot" but "Connie and Carla" has it's own mojo working. Where to begin. Vardalos and Collette riff of each other impeccably whether doing comic shtick or belting out some terrific Broadway chestnuts. The film's underlying theme is tolerance but it's not beaten into the ground lest it gets in the way of the fun. Recommended without reservation. Noteworthy is the appearance of Ian Gomez, Vardalos' real life spouse, as the club owner. Gomez used to be on one of my favorite TV shows, the American version of the British improv show, "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL

This has become our stress relief when things get tough. We have literally watched this movie so often my sister and I have to purchase another copy, because ours is starting to glitch from over use. This is a laugh out loud, wonderful, enjoyable movie. The singing is incredible and all of the characters are lovable. The story line is great, acting is absolutely first rate and it is just plain fun. There is not one swear word in the whole movie - which means great writing. This is an absolute must see. It's a hoot!

This is one of my favorite all time movies! About two girls who are running from the mob who play for dinner theatre. They dress up like men in drag! It is sooo funny and reminds me of Some Like It Hot! Plenty of music and a lot of funny stuff! Paula in N.J.

This is a very clever, well written and feel good movie. If you want to be entertained, laugh and appreciate some fun characters, this is the movie to see. You will have a good time. If you watch it with a group of friends, you'll have to rewind a couple of times because everyone will want to see something again.
