Synopsis |
|
Nia Vardalos and Toni Collette play
Connie and Carla, two struggling
Chicago dinner theater performers
who accidentally witness a mafia
hit... and who subsequently hit the
road, running for their lives.
Assuming the killers will never look
for them in a place devoid of
culture, the pair head to Los
Angeles, where they assume new
identities and find their middling
talent at song and dance perfectly
suited to new careers - as drag
queens. Much to their surprise, they
inadvertently become the toast of
the cabaret circuit. As their ruse
becomes increasingly difficult to
maintain, they discover that it is
indeed lonely at the top, especially
after Connie meets Jeff (Duchovny),
a guy she'd really like to be a real
girl with. With the mafia zeroing in
and the line separating their
onstage/offstage personas blurring
beyond the point of recognition,
Connie and Carla soon discover the
power of not compromising to pursue
your dreams, fighting the good
fight, and never, never
underestimating the transformative
power of cosmetics.
Reminiscent of Some Like It Hot,
with the roles reversed. |
