Zac Efron & John Cena in ‘Ricky Stanicky’

Director Peter Farrelly has returned to the comedy genre in Prime Video’s latest, Ricky Stanicky, an R-rated comedy about a childhood prank gone wrong and a decades-long lie gone too far.

Childhood friends Dean, JT, and Wes create a fictional character and best friend, Ricky Stanicky. Twenty years later, the trio still use the nonexistent Ricky as a handy alibi for their immature behaviour.

When their spouses and partners get suspicious and demand to finally meet the fabled Mr Stanicky, the guilty trio hires washed-up actor and raunchy celebrity impersonator “Rock Hard” Rod to bring him to life.

With Zac Efron, John Cena, Andrew Santino, and Jermaine Fowler in the lead, the movie is set to release this March only on Prime Video.
