Consensus: The two female leads, as well as energitic musical numbers, enliven an otherwise silly reworking of Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot.

Reviews for Connie and Carla
Top Critic... just awful.
04/19/04
Top CriticIsn't really a movie but a blatant girls' night out vehicle.
04/17/04
Top CriticIt may not be subtle, but, like drag itself, Connie and Carla affords a few corny, if artless, pleasures.
04/16/04
Top CriticConnie And Carla never manages to rise above the airport-lounge aesthetic of its title characters.
04/16/04
Top CriticSomeone should tell Vardalos this is well-trod territory.
04/16/04
Top CriticThe only drag is this picture.
04/16/04
Top CriticThe whole enterprise is scrubbed clean of the very quirks such a comedy craves.
04/16/04
Top CriticBrassy, sassy and laugh-aloud funny in a let’s-put-on-a-show way.
04/16/04
Top CriticA splashy little romp.
04/16/04
Top CriticDespite too much of nearly everything, Connie and Carla is a mostly enjoyable comedy that at its core showcases a rare thing for a studio movie: a true beating heart.
04/16/04
Top CriticConnie and Carla plays like a genial amateur theatrical, the kind of production where you'd like it more if you were friends with the cast.
04/16/04
Top CriticA magnificent absurdity.
04/16/04
Top CriticConnie and Carla not only celebrates amateurism but indulges in it.
04/16/04
Top CriticA grim twist on Some Like It Hot, with a few limp strands of Thelma & Louise all stiffened up with a bit too much Hairspray.
04/16/04
Top CriticSo predictable that you could have probably entered the words 'drag,' 'show tunes,' 'hapless Russian goon' and 'big-hearted broads' into a screenwriting software program and a script like this one would have printed out.
04/16/04
Top CriticNia Vardalos and Toni Collette unveil powerful pipes delivering this numbing battery of overly familiar songs, but the aural sledgehammer fails to fully divert attention from the paper-thin plotting.
04/15/04
Top CriticIn all departments, Collette is far more nuanced, her timing sharper and her comic skills more inventive than her co-star's nonetheless vivacious, appealing performance, but the camaraderie between the two is infectious.
04/15/04
Top CriticFor all of Wedding's mediocrity, Connie and Carla is even more of a drag.
04/15/04
Top CriticBoldly reworking the Some Like It Hot plot, with a nod to Victor/Victoria and La Cage aux Folles, Vardalos has come up with a crowd-pleaser that is entirely her own.
