Connie and Carla may not be as exciting as a Greek wedding, but it's still worth reserving a table up front.

Reviews for Connie and Carla
Top CriticThe brassy cross-dressing farce Connie and Carla shows that Hollywood still gets the jitters about gender-bending.
04/15/04
Top CriticI am convinced Vardalos wrote Connie and Carla just so she could kiss David Duchovny. It wasn't to make us laugh (trust me on that one).
04/15/04
Timid, mousy and humorless.
04/15/04
... (the) big, fat fun is anything but a drag.
04/15/04
A lot more solid and engaging than its premise might have you believe.
04/15/04
An amiable tribute to classic gender-bending farces such as Some Like It Hot and Victor/Victoria.
04/15/04
Top CriticThe film is so consistently funny and musical it doesn't matter whom Vardalos is ripping off.
04/15/04
Top CriticThe film is as long on classic show tunes as it is short on new ideas.
04/15/04
The screenplay feels as padded as a drag queen's dress.
04/15/04
Pleasurable but uneven.
04/15/04
You'll have a gay ol' time, no matter what your gender preference.

'Some Like It Schlock' might be a better title for this cross-dressing comedy...entirely too strident in the pursuit of easy laughs and fuzzy emotions.
04/15/04
Folks, it’s an instant gay classic that’s bigger than a beehive... with heart to match.
04/15/04
[A] good-hearted little comedy that’s likely to please the legions of fans who enjoyed Vardalos in her big fat prior success.
04/15/04
Short of making a tender drama about a killing spree undertaken by a threesome of hedonistic Mormons, Vardalos could not have chosen a more niche-based sophomore project.
04/14/04
The project has crowd-pleaser written all over it, but it’s that brand of smirky, trying-too-hard entertainment that reeks of desperation.
04/14/04
If they could sing like Julie Andrews did in Victor/Victoria, Connie and Carla wouldn’t have the one and only thing it has going for it: silliness.
04/14/04
This dreary little misfire is as stale as the cabaret routines that it tries to both make sport of and to glamorize
