[.ca] Connie And Carla (Widescreen)

not really suited to my tastes:
this movie isn't for me,but i could see how people would like it.it has two very likable leads in Nia Vardalos and Toni Collette.both are great actresses and work well off each other very well here.they both have great comedic timing.and their are some great witty moments here.but for me,there's just too many musicals,and i'm not really a musical fan.plus,i kinda found the film quite slow.i'm not really into the drag queen scene in movies either.i knew what the movie was about before watching it but i still thought id' give it a shot.if you're a musical fan and you have a bit of patience,this movie might work for,and you might really enjoy it. my vote for Connie and Carla is a 2/5

So Hiliarious:
This movie is the first movie that has really made me laugh in a long time. I saw it in the theater and was practically rolling on the floor laughing. Of course it helps that it has David Duchovny in it, but i know i would have loved it even if they had cast some unknown actor for that role. I recomend that everyone watch it over and over again.

Nia Rocks:
I can honestly say, most of today's comedies fall flat with me. However, 'Connie and Carla' was a pleasant surprise. It's hilarious. Nia Vardalos is a top-notch talent. She's a comedic genus that is just beginning to receive the acclaim she deserves. She's an excellent writer and I think she would also do well as a stand-up comic. And despite the lack-luster sales of 'Connie and Carla' (especially compared to her romantic comedy box office giant 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'), this movie certainly won't disappoint. I just hope Nia continues in her success-and gets pregnant like she wants to-I'm certain that new chapter of her life will bring some lively and comedic tales. Bottom line: this DVD is well worth the buy. Keep the family out of the bathroom, you'll be laughing so hard, you might need it.

LMAO:
I have NOT laughed SO hard at a movie in YEARS! This movie is SO funny you had better bring a box of tissues with you when you watch it! GREAT performances by all! A MUST SEE!

Drag-Licious!:
This was one of the funniest films I've ever seen. I think as a theatrical musician and performer the musical reviews that Connie and Carla concoct are far more funny to me than they might be to someone who isn't as familiar with the broadway musicals. This film is VERY accessible to anyone, but holds far more comedy for the broadway theatrical performer or theatregoer.
