With A24’s Dicks: The Musical, co-writers and co-stars Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp have done the unthinkable: they’ve brought the now-bygone era of unabashedly crass, lowbrow humor back to the big screen – although it’s arguable that many films masquerading as “serious-minded” have been filling the same void of idiocy for a while now.Dicks is precisely the type of movie that one could expect back when the Farrelly brothers still dealt in particularly refined garbage (pronounced gar-bahj). Sharp’s character, Craig Tiddle, even sports a deflated pompom cut that lies somewhere between Lloyd Christmas and Moe Howard. But just as much as one branch of the double helix is Dumb and Dumber and the crass comedy vernacular of creative cussing disguised as a script, the other branch is devoted to an evident love of musicals – namely, the ability to break into song to say what mere words sans accompaniment cannot.The story of Dicks: The Musical is straightforward – identical twin brothers who’ve been separated at birth finally meet and set about planning parental shenanigans à la The Parent Trap – but its execution walks a zigzag path of absurdity, moving from scene to scene, and song to song, with a devil-may-care attitude, often abandoning the premise altogether to dive headlong into “the bit,” where the sketch comedy-honed riffing of Jackson and Sharp shines most. If the film has a credo, it’s always go for the gag.RELATED: Dicks: The Musical’s Megan Mullally and Nathan Lane Find Their Evelyn and Harris
