Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp's strange musical could've used more absurdity, wit, and Sewer Boys.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.You know what you’re getting yourself into when you go see a movie called Dicks: The Musical. It’s the type of film that elicits giggles before you walk into the theaters. “One ticket for Dicks, please,” alone makes the title worthwhile, a childish gag that is impossible to avoid.
'Dicks: The Musical' Gets Old Fast Craig and Trevor’s story, yes, is basically The Parent Trap, just with more Sewer Boys and fallen-off vaginas. And Bowen Yang as God. Oh, and as a musical, obviously. When Craig and Trevor take center stage, their songs are almost primarily overtaken by constant braggadocio and as many “fucks” as humanly possible.
Momentum Is a Problem in 'Dicks: The Musical' This is odd considering Charles knows how to build an absurd story in this way, whether through the awkwardness of Borat or the strange choices of the crew from Seinfeld. At a certain point, Dicks: The Musical loses its momentum and, while there are enough jokes throughout consistently to make this worthwhile, it’s not the type of exponential growth that one might expect from Charles.
