Description
"A real loser's loser". This is "Kid's" self-assessment. A lifetime of evidence points to the soundness of his conclusion. Smallest, weakest, cowardly-est, and given a girl's name to boot all seemingly seal his fate.., he is better off not even attempting a journey from boyhood to manhood. A life-altering decision with dire consequences if Heather Locklear and the other 1980's icons hanging in his bedroom don't intervene. A rural desert town and '80's rock-n-roll culture set the scene for this humorous coming of age tale which tests the performative and ritualistic nature of modern man-making standards. Sardonically inspired by his family's motto, "a bad day can always get worse", he stumbles, at times strides, through the gauntlet of his man-making list. His ever-present horse, Balthazar, steadies "Kid" between an undaunted enthusiasm and an inherent blind eye to criticism ensuring that no man-making quest proceeds without examination. Dirk Necessary: A Man's Man Journey reminds both men and women that transformation and self-discovery are messy and treacherous paths, but if not taken, leave us devoid of the power that comes with authenticity.
