Dicks: The Musical

I love both you, Nathan and Megan but WTF were you thinking. I'm only a half hour into the movie and I'm like, did Nathan do a ton of mushrooms during Covid lockdown. How did this happen? Campy? Check. Bizarre? Check. But this is like John waters decided he wanted a gay coming out movie premiere. In still going to finish it. And I'm not disliking the movie just not what I was expecting and not really sure what to think, how to feel, or if I should really watch this. And I'm a 53 yr old gay man with a theater background from NY city Broadway. Seriously? This long without an original and this is what you come up with? Other than what I've just said I'm speechless and will never speak of this again.

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.

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.

I told my partner, "This looks terrible. I'm pressing play." I am so glad I did. Sometimes you just need unhinged comedy in your life and that's exactly what I needed tonight. It's seriously the most ridiculous movie I've ever enjoyed. I kept laughing unexpectedly to the point of choking. It kept getting more and absurd with every passing moment and just when I thought it couldn't get more ludicrous, it found a way to take it to the next level.

Would I recommend this movie?

Not to most people, but if you're having a really bad day and you want something to take your mind off your problems and are willing to disregard any sense of decency, this might be the film for you. Worked for me.

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.
