Connie and Carla

When you follow your dream, there's no telling what you'll become.

200498 min5.9 / 10

A high-spirited buddy comedy about two best friends reinventing themselves as drag performers while evading the mob, balancing mistaken-identity hijinks with genuine warmth and romantic entanglement.

After accidentally witnessing a mafia hit in the Windy City, gal pals Connie and Carla skip town for L.A., where they go way undercover as singers working the city's dinner theater circuit ... disguised as drag queens. Now, it's not enough that they become big hits on the scene; things get extra-weird when Connie meets Jeff -- a guy she'd like to be a woman with.
