Dicks: The Musical

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.

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.

It's almost like the writer didn't know how to end the movie so they swung for the fences with the most offensive ending possible. Offensiveness was achieved. Funny was completely lost. Megan and Nathan were just fine. The sewer boys were hilarious. The premise had a great structure, but just fell completely flat. You would think that if this was built on a live show, they would've had a figured out a way to end it and keep the humor going with practice, but they did not. On a technical note, why was the dialogue seemingly unsync with the actors mouth movement for most of the movie? What sort of decision was that like? They were lip-synching along with a soundtrack.

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.
