Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson based the absurd film on their Upright Citizens Brigade show “F–king Identical Twins.”
Josh Sharp, Aaron Jackson, Nathan Lane and Megan Mullally star in"Dicks: The Musical," which premiered at 2023's Toronto International Film Festival.Your gut reaction to those three short words will help you decide whether you can stomach this loony A24 movie, which had its world premiere Thursday at the Toronto International Film Festival — or if it’ll make you retch.You go in either loving this sort of thing — or loathing it.
Aaron Jackson, Bowen Yang and Josh Sharp attend the world premiere of “Dicks: The Musical” at the Toronto International Film Festival.When the guys discover, in song, that they are actually brothers with two halves of the same heart locket, they plot to get their parents back together by switching identities. It’s “The Parent Trap,” except Craig and Trevor are in their mid-30s and completely out of their minds.
Evelyn keeps wrongly insisting she’s 93 or 94 and is in a relationship with a small ceramic boot, while Harris comes out of the closet and then reveals he owns two humanoid lizards he found underground that he calls his “sewer boys.”In fact, the movie works best when you think of it, not as a movie, but as a series of connected bits. Charles’ filmmaking is just OK, and he doesn’t quite settle on whether he wants “Dicks” to look mockably cheap or legit. And the story’s wrap-up is a doozy.
