Ricky Stanicky

Ricky Stanicky (2024) is a Peter Farrelly comedy you can watch online on iFILM, starring Zac Efron and John Cena.

As kids, three friends botched a prank and pinned the blame on an invented buddy named Ricky Stanicky. Twenty years on, Ricky is still their all-purpose alibi, taking the fall for missed dinners, late nights and every excuse to slip out of the house. But their wives and partners are done hearing the name and demand to meet the famous Mr. Stanicky in the flesh. With no way out, the guys hire a washed-up actor who makes a living doing raunchy celebrity impressions and brief him on two decades of lies.

Farrelly, who co-wrote Dumb and Dumber and won an Oscar for Green Book, leans on crude gags and Cena's goofy charm as the fake Ricky. The deeper the actor sinks into someone else's life story, the faster the whole scheme unravels. Stream Ricky Stanicky (2024) online on iFILM.
