When three childhood friends pull off a prank that goes wrong they invent Ricky Stanicky and twenty years later they still blame this imaginary person for everything they do wrong and if they want a weekend away somewhere!
Twenty years after that event and the creation of Ricky Stanicky everything is still ongoing with the imaginary person, even so much so that they set up an Instagram account and even have a phone number for him. To cover over for the immature behaviour of the group and allow them to get away from their partners.
However, everything was about to come crashing down when they eventually demand to meet the legendary Ricky. Enter an actor they met in Atlantic City who they hire to become their friend, he goes all in and quite frankly it is very convincing and seems to work with so many different events.
Don’t get me wrong the plot is utterly ridiculous in general but John Cena goes all in and you cannot help but enjoy his performance, quite frankly this confirms that he will do anything! Also I wasn’t expecting to like the film, but it was watchable and easy viewing thats for sure.
Love your review we saw the exact same film! This is a movie that just throws every crazy thing at you and much of it works – because John Cena is fearless! It works because he is willing to “go there” and it ultimately makes him so endearing and lovable, but boy what a character! It reminds me of Jennifer Aniston’s willingness to do roles like “Horrible Bosses” – and Tom Cruise in “Tropic Thunder” – really makes me happy that they can have some raucous fun!
Those are great comparisons, spot on with those!
