"What was I thinking when I paid out good money for this mess of a dvd? I should have read these reviews first. Those who dislike this cd are completely correct...it is awful. But why then did so many, including me, enjoy the movie and the music in it? Because of the actors, the settings, the script and the over the top costumes ..all that combined with the music made a good on screen presentation, but with only the music (and useless dialogue) on the cd, it is a lost cause...you realize why Connie and Carla never made the big time as it is awful. I will give you an example...in the movie when they sing "Don't Cry for me Argentina" they wear over the top costumes, and at one point the entire audience rises as one, which their arms outstretched over their heads, and looks in their eyes that suggest they are undergoing a religious experience. It is funny. Just the song itself is not funny. The entire cd is like that. I truly miss the twenty bucks I paid for this thing. I amsure the twenty and I could find something else to do together that would be much more rewards. Do recommend the movie though!"

See The Movie - Ponder The Soundtrack

""Connie and Carla" is one heck of a funny movie and the music skits are hilarious! These two women actually can harmonize and its fun to watch (and hear) them. However, when listening without the film, the songs sound flat. There's energy there, but without the visuals, nothing really happens. This just becomes a novelty album that you can describe to your friends, but they won't get it unless they see the film. So. Go see the film."
