The Blackening’s Jermaine Fowler and Zac Efron in ‘Ricky Stanicky’ Trailer: Prime Comedy Set To Contain an Out-Of-Control John Cena

The Blackening’s star Jermaine Fowler is about to play a big role in a new R-rated comedy, Ricky Stanicky, alongside Zac Efron and John Cena for Prime Video.

Directed by Peter Farrelly, who gave us classic films There’s Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber, his new project Ricky Stanicky is sure to keep audiences laughing from start to finish because this premise is outrageous, in a good way … Here’s the description:

When three childhood best friends pull a prank gone wrong, they invent the imaginary Ricky Stanicky to get them out of trouble! Twenty years after creating this ‘friend,’ Dean, JT, and Wes (Zac Efron, Andrew Santino, and Jermaine Fowler) still use the nonexistent Ricky as a handy alibi for their immature behavior. When their spouses and partners get suspicious and demand to finally meet the fabled Mr. Stanicky, the guilty trio 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.

Ricky Stanicky also stars William H. Macy, Lex Scott Davis, Jeff Ross and Anja Savcic.
