Connie and Carla (2004)
Outstanding for show tune and stage buffs!!
This movie is hilarious! Sure it's corny... but I haven't seen a stage show yet that wasn't. The over-blown drama is exactly the way it is in plays, musicals, and dinner theatre. Without the big drama... it's just another movie taking up shelf space at your local video store.
Adjusting to the concept of drag queens was strange at first, but by the end of the movie you actually develop an understanding of and insight into why they are who they are and why they do what they do. In the movie they refer to it as an 'art form of being true to one's self' ...and even I can relate to that.
The best-friend relationship between Connie and Carla really carries the movie, not to mention all the different characters and the facial expressions they use. The characters also show growing pains along with their growth, which stays true to the drama of Broadway shows.
This movie is about two girls having a dream, and overcoming the obstacles of realizing that dream. It's obvious that these actors loved doing this movie and had fun while doing it. This movie has surprisingly become one of my favorite movies. Just watch it and give it a chance... you will adore it.

This was actually TV worth watching!!
This show is actually TV worth watching. If you get a chance, either rent or buy the series and watch it closely. It's intelligent, witty, and emotional with a touch of the mysterious and unexplained.
It's amazing how lame reality TV shows continue to get ratings when a show like this that's really worth something can get canceled after only 4 episodes. This demonstrates what is truly wrong with television and the media today.
Just watch the show! If you're not impressed with it you can always go back to your bug-eating, worm-slurping, jump-out-of-a-helicopter-into-a-pile-of-manure reality show. If you are impressed with it, them join the club and help get this show back on TV.
Thank you for your support.
