| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Connie & Carla Movie Rating:  Camp Fun
| |
|
After witnessing a murder, Chicago lounge singers Connie (Nia Vardalos) and
Carla (Toni Collette) lam out for L.A., hiding in plain sight as drag queens
so that they won't have to give up their show-biz dreams. They quickly become West Hollywood stars, but when their pal Peaches' (Stephen Spinella) straight brother, Jeff (David Duchovny), catches Connie's eye, she begins to find cross-dressing a real drag. It is unbelievable that anyone would buy these women as transvestites, the story occasionally becomes bogged down in cloying sentimentality, and Vardalos' latest screenwriting effort plays like My Big, Fat Queer Sitcom. |
