SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
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 (David 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.
