Comedy. Drama Holy crap. Dick is dead. Died last night after band practice, and his bandmates, Zeke and Earl, don’t want anybody finding out how. That’s too bad though, ’cause news travels fast in small-town Alabama, and these guys suck at covering their tracks. The authorities haven’t ID’d the body just yet, but Zeke’s wife and his daughter are getting more and more suspicious.

	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An excellent cast sells a dicey premise (...) [It] deserves credit for its generosity to characters who (...) are more complex than the stereotypes they may appear to be."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"It subverts expectations with gratifying results indicative of shrewd storytelling at work."	POS
United States	Bilge Ebiri Vulture	"It provides plenty of weirdness in its own right — and as with 'Swiss Army Man', its weirdness goes from ironic to sincere over the course of the movie."	POS
United States	Jordan Ruimy The Playlist	"Dark, but gut-bustingly hilarious (...) all due to his gift for infusing tonally perfect humor with sincere and seriously drawn narrative momentum. In fact, there are no dull moments"	POS
United States	Jordan Raup The Film Stage	"It may end up playing as a silly lark, but along with dismantling ideas of masculinity, Scheinert has also created a singularly entertaining crime comedy built on utter idiocy."	POS
United States	Rafael Motamayor Bloody Disgusting	"[It] manages to lure you in with wacky characters and an interesting premise (...) You won’t be able to stop making dick puns as you leave the theater (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Scheinert proves himself just good enough a filmmaker to have earned the attention he’s courting."	POS
