Renowned filmmaker Peter Farrelly, known for hits like Dumb And Dumber and There’s Something About Mary, is back with the uproarious Ricky Stanicky. While Farrelly has explored more serious themes in recent projects, this comedy marks a return to the irreverent humor he’s famous for.
In Ricky Stanicky, Zac Efron, Jermaine Fowler, and Andrew Santino portray friends who’ve long attributed their mishaps to a fictional buddy named ‘Ricky Stanicky.’ When their deceit is on the brink of exposure, they bring in John Cena to play the elusive Ricky Stanicky. Watch the hilarious trailer :
This film not only reunites Efron (known for his role in The Greatest Beer Run Ever) with Farrelly but also promises Cena’s trademark R-rated comedy prowess, reminiscent of his past comedic successes.
Ricky Stanicky’s journey to the screen spans many years, originating from a script on The Black List in 2010. After undergoing several potential adaptations, the project now lands in the hands of Farrelly. The delays? Blame it on a character named Ricky Stanicky.
Anticipation is high for this long-awaited comedy. Can Farrelly deliver the gross-out humor fans love? Will it match the acclaim of Green Book? (Unlikely, but who knows?) Prime Video will unveil the answers when Ricky Stanicky streams from March 7th. Don’t miss the laughs!”
