When three childhood best friends pull a prank gone wrong, they invent the imaginary Ricky Stanicky to get them out of trouble! Twenty years after creating this 'friend,' Dean, JT, and Wes (Zac Efron, Andrew Santino, and Jermaine Fowler) still use the nonexistent Ricky as a handy alibi for their immature behavior. When their spouses and partners get suspicious and demand to finally meet the fabled Mr. Stanicky, the guilty trio decide to hire washed-up actor and raunchy celebrity impersonator "Rock Hard" Rod (John Cena) to bring him to life. But when Rod takes his role of a lifetime too far, they begin to wish they'd never invented Ricky in the first place. Read More Read Less

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Ricky Stanicky gets some big laughs thanks to John Cena's up-for-anything performance, but they aren't enough to support the movie's thin plot and excessive runtime.

Audience Says

Ricky Stanicky's cheesy lowbrow laughs are a perfect match for John Cena's impressive commitment to the bit.

Robert Levin Newsday It's a good thing that this movie has been promoted as a comedy, because you wouldn't know it from watching. Rated: 0.5/4 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Good comedies, of course, can make the tragic feel bittersweet, but Ricky Stanicky bungles its tone to the point that the whole affair comes across a little depressing. Rated: 2/5 Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of a game John Cena in the title role, the laughs are a little thin on the ground. Rated: 2/5 Mar 10, 2024 Full Review Romey Norton Film Focus Online Ricky Stanicky is oddly put together, with missed opportunities, and dead air, and to say the film has been years in the making, the script seriously needed more re-writes. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com Ricky Stanicky is one of those silly movies that is not just forgettable but sometimes so stupid you feel like your brain is melting. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Will Bjarnar InSession Film Somehow, more work went into crafting a gag to accompany the presentation for achievement in Costume Design than into a new feature film from an Oscar winner. If only that was as much of a sham as this. Rated: D Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
