Overview
When three childhood best friends pull a prank gone wrong, they invent the imaginary Ricky Stanicky to get them out of trouble. Twenty years later, the trio still uses the nonexistent Ricky as a handy alibi for their immature behavior. But when their spouses and partners get suspicious and demand to finally meet the fabled Mr. Stanicky, the guilty trio decide to hire a washed-up actor and raunchy celebrity impersonator to bring him to life.

Roger Ebert
So much of 'Ricky Stanicky' is juvenile and joyless, playing on drawn out jokes, bottom shelf masturbation punchlines, and varying degrees of cringe comedy.

CNN
'Ricky Stanicky' works from an amusing premise that owes an unlikely debt to a 51-year-old 'MASH' episode, in which an imaginary character must be brought to life.

Variety
Headed straight to streaming, the Prime Video release is clearly intended for audiences who feel the same way: bros, obviously, but also women who grew up on the 'High School Musical' movies and like the idea of seeing Efron poke fun at his image.

Flickering Myth
John Cena earns laughs every time he is on screen in one of his most fascinating roles.

Deadline
Fans of the Farrelly brand will not be disappointed, but it is a shame this is debuting on streaming (Prime Video) because if ever there was a movie that cries out to be seen with an audience in a movie theater, it is this one.

High On Films
The buffed-up John Cena is saddled with the most screen-hogging titular role, and if the film leaps at all, it is to Cena’s credit.

Cultured Vultures
John Cena is in peak comedic form here. Unfortunately, he is the best part of this film, with everything else pretty mediocre.

It's down right hilarious! Every scene [John Cena's] in had me laughing until my stomach hurt.
