“DICKS: The Musical”
Is a 2023 American musical comedy film directed by Larry Charles, based on the off-Broadway musical
“Fucking Identical Twins”
by Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson.
The film stars Sharp and Jackson as a pair of identical twins who plot to reunite their divorced parents.
Two business adversaries who realize they’re identical twin brothers decide to switch places to reunite their divorced parents so they can all become an actual family again.
From its eyebrow-raising title to its gleefully provocative humor, talented cast, and catchy songs, DICKS: The Musical is a cult movie in the making.
A twisted genre experiment that plays with sexuality, classic genre tropes, and general lunacy, it’s half a movie, but it’s so committed to its rebellious tone that it makes for a hell of a half. Reportedly, a production that ran as a two-man stage show by its leads for years.
The musical numbers are legitimately well-done, funny, witty, and sometimes even moving.
The film had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2023. On October 6, 2023, it was released in the United States by A24, as the studio’s first musical film.
