Leave it to A24 to go wild with their first-ever movie musical! Debuting at TIFF as part of their Midnight Madness lineup is Dicks: The Musical, and yes, that title is just a hint as to what to expect from this raunchy and depraved film that opens with one of the leads singing that his cock is so massive it leaves the women sore.
The film stars its writers Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp as two self-obsessed businessmen, whose boss is Megan Thee Stallion by the way, as they discover they are long-lost twin brothers. In a twist on The Parent Trap, the two scheme to get their divorced parents back together again.
Nathan Lane and Megan Mullally play their parents, with SNL’s Bowen Yang as God. You know that’s going to be funny. The film is directed by comedy vet Larry Charles, known for Seinfeld and Borat. Jackson and Sharp not only wrote the screenplay but all of the original songs with Karl Saint Lucy. The Greatest Showman producers are aboard this, as well.
Dicks: The Musical will hit theaters on September 29th, and it could be a phenomenon. A24 might have something huge on their hands here.
