"Dicks: The Musical" Pushes Boundaries and Shocks Audiences at TIFF Premiere

TL;DR Summary
"Dicks: The Musical," a film adaptation of an underground two-person stage show, aims to be the most offensive movie-musical ever. The story follows two alpha-male salesmen who discover they are long-lost identical twins and try to reunite their divorced parents. The film delivers on its promise of shock value, with outrageous gags, explicit content, and Megan Thee Stallion's standout performance. However, it falls short in terms of being genuinely hilarious or clever, relying on bug-eyed reactions and shock tactics. While it succeeds in being loud and rude, it lacks the cutting humor needed to truly stand out.
