Ricky Stanickydirected by Peter Farrelly

About

When three childhood best friends—now adults who have never fully outgrown their reckless streak—find themselves in trouble after a prank spirals out of control, they invent a name to take the blame: Ricky Stanicky. The lie is meant to be temporary, but it sticks, becoming a surprisingly effective escape hatch for decades of irresponsible decisions. Set against the messiness of long-term friendships and adult responsibilities, the story follows the trio as they continue to lean on the nonexistent Ricky whenever their spouses, partners, and loved ones start asking questions they can’t comfortably dodge. However, the game changes when the people they’ve been deceiving decide they’re done hearing excuses and insist on meeting Mr. Stanicky for real. Determined to keep their fabricated alibi alive, the friends scramble to find a way to sell the legend—dragging them into escalating efforts that blend awkward improvisation with increasingly outrageous attempts to satisfy those who demand the truth.
