Dicks: The Musical

I had such high hopes for this movie walking into the theater; I was really rooting for this to be a success. I couldn't have been more predisposed to seeing all its best qualities. An hour and 26 minutes later, I regretted every one of my decisions to see this pure piece of garbage. What adds to the heartbreak is the inclusion of such exceptional performers like Megan Mullaly and Nathan Lane. Not even their talented genius could flog this DOA dumpster fire back to life. The writing lacked originality and wit, and saw fit to instead substitute tortured jokes that begged for a pity laugh. Each song became more and more forgettable. You could feel all six people in the auditorium begging for a swift ending to put us out of our misery. When the writing and the music aren't competing for the Gold Medal in the Film Failure Olympics, the bizarre, shoe-horned gags are hard at work making you cringe. A disjointed plot line about sewer monsters and a detached vagina pile onto this crime against cinema, which should be tried in The Hague. It would be less painful to watch the movie musical Cats.

If i could give this trash less then 1 star i would waste of time i can never get back unfunny i give it one star because bowen yang and megan thee stallion are in it otherwise horrendous. I kept wanting to leave but i kept staying to see if it would get any better but it never did i would not recommend this movie for anyone to see i work at a theater and have seen many movies in my lifetime but this is one of the absolute worst movies i ever watched i went into this movie thinking maybe it would be funny id give it a chance but it disappointed me on many levels i like larry charles but this is a miss.

I don't normally like musicals, but this was so fun to watch. If you come into this looking too deep, it'll ruin it. Expect absurdity. It's so over the top, but it has become an instant favorite for me. I feel like this movie requires a bit of appreciation for the eccentric. I don't feel like there was ever a moment where I could anticipate what they were going to say or do next, but each scene was cleverly executed. Like I said, don't approach this with any seriousness, and if you can appreciate queer culture and raunchiness then you're in for a lot of fun. I can't believe this story was ever created, but I'm not mad haha.

Very funny and raunchy film held together by the committed performances of the two leads, Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson, as well as terrific turns by Nathan Lane and Megan Mullally as their eccentric parents.

The film also has some well sung catchy songs, two hysterical creatures that have to be seen to be believed, and an amusing performance by Bowen Yang as God.

The Premise: Two identical twins meet each other for the first time. Both men having been raised by a single biological parent, they set off on a mission to meet the parent they never knew and reunite them so they can be a family again. It's like The Parent Trap on crack.

There are a couple of things that didn't work for me. Megan thee Stallion is poorly cast and unfunny as the men's boss. The crude lyrics can sometimes undermine a well written song with the final number especially questionable.

But if you get camp and/or are gay you will probably love this film as I did. If you are neither of those and are easily offended, you may want to pass this by.

This movie was pretty damn great, the story was admitedly not very original but still very fun, the comedy was great' one of the funniest movies i have watched in a long time, and the songs while not all good are really enjoyable, also the performances are great with nathan lane stealing the show, my only problem is kind of a me problem, but i feel like there are times when the movie tries to use too much shock humor and those jokes just dont leave a very good impression for me, plus i would have loved it if the songs were longer but overall i really enjoyed this movie, so if you enjoy raunchy comedies i highly reccomend to watch this movie at least once

p.s: this movie is better to watch with a friend.
