Some Like It Hot gets a queer makeover in Connie and Carla, a lightweight comedy from the writer and star of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. In Billy Wilder's classic, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis teamed up in a male-as-female drag comedy, whereas here, writer-star Nia Vardalos goes a step further (and several derivative steps backwards), teaming up with Toni Collette as the titular heroines, playing women posing as men posing as women--kind of like Victor/Victoria with excess mascara. They witness a murder, and the killer knows it, so they hightail it out to West Hollywood, where (with the help of poodle wigs and garish cosmetics) they blend in with the performing drag queens at the Handlebar club, where queer makeovers are fabulously mandatory. Connie (that's Vardalos, to Collette's ditzy Carla) gets the hots for a drag queen's straight brother (David Duchovny), and even Debbie Reynolds pitches in to give a show that any gay crowd would love. There are some well-earned laughs along the way, but the whole thing feels like a sitcom we've seen before, which pretty much summarizes Vardalos's career to date. Vardalos has genuine comedic talent (and so does Collette), but it's adrift in this hash of old ideas. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great, cheeky film!
This is a great movie, and has lots of good one liners. Yes its a bit cheesy, but if you loved Big Fat Greek Wedding (Nia Vardalos was in that as well) you will most likely enjoy this movie. And Toni Collette is always awesome, no matter what. I gave this as a gift to my best friend - I lent him my copy and he loved it so much he couldnt stop watching it!
Rating:  - its a drag... pun intended!
connie and carla is a fun comedy about two lime light addicted ladies on the run. in order to hide they flee to la and its no exsitent dinner theater scene. unable to be out of the lime light for two long, the ladies join a failing drag show. with a little talent, love and alot of hair they get their lives back on track until... well i wont say much more but you get the idea. i recomend this movie for anyone who loves music, drag queens, comedy and drama... lots of drama.
Rating: - OOOOOOklahoma!
I love this movie. What can I say about Connie and Carla. They are the Thelma and Louise of comedy ("Run Thelma, run"). Toni Collete really delivers a performance to make you laugh more everytime you see this movie.
Rating:  - Not quite hot enough...
It's apparent when one sits down to watch `Connie and Carla' that there are serious `Some Like it Hot' inspired moments here.In fact, the entire key plot is ripped straight from the Oscar nominated film.While `Connie and Carla' has its funny moments and can at times come off genuine and entertaining, sadly it never manages to reach the heights of its inspiration.
So, following the formula for `Some Like it Hot', `Connie and Carla' introduces us to two aspiring singers who find ... Read More
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!
