Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Dicks: The Musical (2023)

It's parent trap but with men instead of girls and Sewer Boys instead of a fiancee for dad. Yeah, I know that doesn't make much sense if you haven't seen it. Honestly, it doesn't make much sense even if you have seen it. Basically, long-lost identical twins (shut up, they are) meet, compare notes, switch places to get to know the parent they never met, and conspire to get them back together. It doesn't matter to them that Dad's gay and is devoted to a couple of tiny monsters he found in the sewer and that Mom's insane and her pussy is now living off-body -- they just want to be a family!

We were laughing for the first 15 minutes or so, but every scene with Mullally was a chore to get through. In a script full of "what the hell" she stood out as incredibly annoying -- even more annoying than the eventual brother-on-brother 69ing. Yikes.
