Last night Matt and I saw“Connie and Carla,” written by Nia Vardalos, in which she and Toni Colette play women on the run who pretend to be drag queens. It was really cute, and I’m sure it helped that we were seeing it in the heart of Chelsea, in a theater full of gay men whose laughter was infectious. Lines and scenes that would have been merely funny became uproarious. If you’re going to see it, see it in a theater filled with queens.
The Tin Man
Amen! (btw, your pop up comments aren’t working)
Yeah, I’m sure it didn’t play as well in Peoria as it did at Clearview. But a fun movie, with lots of Afterschool Special lessons in it … botox is bad, eating is good, you only have one life to live, drag queens aren’t freaks. I hope the Big Fat Greek Wedding crowd in middle America embraces it. And I wish they gave Toni more to do. She’s wonderful.
And my new favorite line … “your voice is giving me shingles.”
