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.

I loved this movie because it doesn't take it's self seriously. It is utterly ridiculous. It takes shots at everyone and everything. Which is so refreshing when compared to other movies being released in 2023 that walk on egg shells to not offend anybody and to represent everyone.

If you go into this just looking to have a good time while eating some popcorn, you'll love it. If you are easily offended, a member of the alphabet community, or a person who only laughs when told to do so, you'll probably hate this.

Not every film has to be a fine piece of artistic cinema that is award worthy. This movie is just pure entertainment... I laughed, I said "WTF?!", I smiled and then went on with my day. Movies today often forget that they can just be a fun escape and Dicks: The Musical is exactly that...

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.

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.

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.
