When three childhood best friends pull a prank gone wrong, they create the fictional character of Ricky Stanicky to get them out of trouble. But 22 years after investing this imaginary “friend,” Dean, JT, and Wes (Zac Efron, Andrew Santino, and Jermaine Fowler) still use the nonexistent character as a handy alibi for their immature behavior.
One problem: their spouses and partners start to get suspicious and demand to finally meet the infamous Mr. Stanicky. That’s when the guilty trio of friends 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.
From director Peter Farrelly (creator of There’s Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber), the film marks Farrelly’s highly anticipated return to the comedy genre.
The 108-minute-long film is rated R, and will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video on March 7.
