A Decade Long Prank Goes Awry In Ricky Stanicky Trailer
Three childhood friends invent an imaginary friend named Ricky Stanicky as an excuse to hang out, but what happens when that lie comes to life and goes completely wrong?! This is the premise for new rated R comedy Ricky Stanicky, starring Zac Efron, Andrew Santino, Jermaine Fowler, John Cena, and William H Macy.
In the trailer, Efron picks up a call from “Ricky” and tells his loved ones that Ricky’s cancer comes back. He and his childhood friends set off on a vacation, coming up with a cover story and partying hard. They rush over to the hospital when they receive texts that Santino’s character’s baby is being born six weeks early. Meanwhile, their family and loved ones grow suspicious when they find out there’s no Ricky Stanicky at any hospitals.
They come up with a plan to hire Rock Hard Rod, a messy washed-up X-rated impersonator. They introduce him as Ricky Stanicky at a big house party to ease their skepticism, but their plan goes sour when he becomes a little too ambitious and impressive, especially to their boss Ted. It’s chaos as they try to undo their lies and stop Rod’s act.
Meet Ricky Stanicky premiering March 7 on Prime Video.
