Episode 68 "Ricky Stanicky" Review

This week Andrew and Ted are taking a look at the Amazon Prime Video original ... "Ricky Stanicky", starring Zac Efron, John Cena, Andrew Santino, and Jermaine Fowler in this Peter Farrelly directed / co-written comedy. The idea behind this movie is that three childhood friends found them in the position of having accidentally starting a home fire when a flaming bag of pooping on a door stoop catches the entire place a blaze. In an effort to stay out of trouble the three young boys plant a pair of shorts at the scene with a made up name written on the waste band ... Ricky Stanicky. For the next twenty years their made up friend "Ricky Stanicky" has gotten the three friends out of trouble as well as out of family obligations. That is until one day when an in-law calls their bluff about the existence of their friend "Ricky Stanicky" and pressures the trio to invite Ricky to a family bris. After meeting Rod Rimestead (Cena) "Trained Actor" at an Atlantic City casino during one of their Ricky Stanicky based travels, they hire him to play the part of Ricky Stanicky at the bris. Things kinda go array when Rod himself assumes the role of Ricky and just can't shake. The three friends lives are turned upside down as they try to shake their once imaginary friend Ricky Stanicky.
