"John Cena's Hilarious Performance in 'Ricky Stanicky' Delivers R-Rated Comedy Fun"

The new Peter Farrelly comedy "Ricky Stanicky" struggles to find its footing, feeling like a lesser 2000s comedy that wanted to emulate "There's Something About Mary." The film, which has been in development for 15 years, lacks the charm of Farrelly's earlier works and is filmed with little artfulness. Despite this, John Cena shines in his role, bringing unexpected depth and commitment to his character. However, his performance isn't enough to save the movie, which ultimately falls flat with a rating of one and a half stars out of four.
