Editor’s Note: Ricky Stanicky (2024) offers a fresh take on the comedy genre without feeling redundant. Peter Farrelly masterfully maintains a tight narrative, prioritizing character development over superficial flair. The performances—especially by Zac Efron, John Cena, and Andrew Santino—infuse the story with relatable stakes. With a runtime of 1 hour and 52 minutes, the film maintains a steady pace and rarely lingers too long in any scene. Though it has its imperfections, its strengths vastly outweigh any shortcomings. The tagline—“He’s the imaginary friend they never got to have”—accurately captures the film’s essence. If the premise intrigues you, be sure to add it to your watchlist.
