Rickey Stanicky, a new Amazon comedy starring John Cena and Zac Efron, is a movie that beat the odds. After languishing in development hell for 14 years, this 2010 Blacklist screenplay will finally see the light of day. Granted, it’s releasing on streaming, and not in theaters, but still!
Directed by Peter Farrelly, Ricky Stanicky certainly feels like a 2010 movie. The dated premise hinges on a group of lifelong male friends (Zac Efron, Jermaine Fowler, and Andrew Santino) who lie to their significant others by blaming anything and everything on their fourth buddy, Ricky Stanicky. Inevitably, their partners want to meet this dude. The only problem? Rickey Stanicky doesn’t exist.
That’s where John Cena comes in. Cena plays a washed-up actor with a raunchy Atlantic City show, who the boys hire to play Ricky Stanicky. It’s a classic recipe for 2010s comedic shenanigans, and, for better or worse, that’s exactly what Ricky Stanicky delivers. If that sounds like a movie you want to watch, read on for all the info on how to watch Ricky Stanicky on streaming, including the Ricky Stanicky Amazon release date and the Ricky Stanicky Amazon release time.
