Wow! Nia Vardalos must have intended to combine several film plots into a masterpiece. Well, "Connie and Carla" is what came out of the closet! It is a combination of "Some Like it Hot", "Sister Act", "Victor/Victoria", and others of the same genre.
This is one of the worst possible comedies to come out this year. It is so full of cliches and deja vu situations, to make any impact. The screening I attended was so quiet that no laughs could be heard in the almost empty theater.
The idea that a sophisticated gay crowd can go for these pair is laughable, at best. It's not saying much of L.A. gays to go to any venue where these two would be performing. The whole idea of a gay dinner theater is ridiculous at best.
Stay away from this stinker.
