I just adored this movie...
Jun 11 2004
Format:DVD
I was so pleased that this movie was so entertaining. I must admit, I only went to see it because of David Duchovny...I see "everything" he is in. After Full Frontal (which had it's good moments, but...) I really didn't know what to expect. I enjoyed the story so much, I went to see it twice and would have gone again if it was still playing in my area. I know the storyline has been used before, but I say a good thing can always be done again and still be good. Nia V. and Toni C. were fantastic, they were so wonderful. Can't wait to get the DVD...
Nice movie, bad target marketing
Jun 3 2004
Format:DVD
Connie and Carla is a decent enough movie. I think Nia Vardalos is a brilliant physical comedienne (witness the way she is constantly bouncing off - literally - David Duchovny) and I will watch anything featuring the great Toni Collette. There are moments of pure comedy genius in this film. As noted elsewhere on these pages, C&C's 'audition' - featuring "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" - is the movie's high point. It's a wonderfully staged, spine-tingling piece of moviemaking.
Still, I have to wonder about Nia and her production team (Rita Wilson, et al), who so brilliantly marketed their previous film together. After finding a broad target audience with "My Big, Fat Greek Wedding," you'd think they'd want to go back and build on that. But marketing a movie about drag queens to the "Wedding" demographic was going to be a tough sell. The results bear that out. C&C barely cracked eight million dollars in the US box office receipts, despite a production and marketing cost of almost 5x that amount. Let's hope this movie finds its audience in DVD market. We need more of Nia.

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... Read more

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. Read more

Very surprising
I wasn't expecting an awful lot from 'Connie and Carla', I must say - as a gay man I am somewhat over-used to a gay theme in movies being an excuse for Hollywood Cliche and... Read more

Broader appeal than one might think.
Nia Vardalos does it again, in spades. This film manages to take a comedic farce and make it socially conscious, while simultaneously weaving in an engaging romantic comedy. Read more
