“‘Dicks: The Musical’ Review: Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp Court Cult Status With Outrageously Amusing ‘Parent Trap’ Riff
Given a prevailing sensibility that’s unerringly queer AF, it’s unlikely that a copy of the film will be turning up in Florida libraries anytime soon. But, playing especially well in full houses, it should earn a loyal cult following in the hands of out-of-the-box distributor A24.
[...] the twins’ work draws the ire of the boss, Gloria (Stallion, in her feature debut), who sacks them, but not before showing ’em who’s in command in the entertainingly choreographed rap number “Out-Alpha the Alpha.””
“It’s tough to make a cult movie intentionally, but Jackson and Sharp seem to have done just that. Not bad for a couple of schmucks.”
“Run, don’t walk to the theater. We may never see anything like it again.”
“Dicks: The Musical spares no expense, no joke, no character, and no moment, and that demented and depraved material keeps its cult-classic-in-the-making foundation while embracing all that the cinema has to enhance it.”
“This creature from the wacko lagoon has ample obscenities, constant profanity, razzmatazz songs and dances. And, in my case, a lot of belly laughs.”
“I love, love, love this movie that dares to be this willfully stupid, gross and gleefully outrageous.”
