An R-rated, funny, mid-budget comedy with movie stars and an Oscar-winning director. And it's buried. Our Ricky Stanicky review:

filmmaker Peter Farrelly continues on his solo directing spree following a Coen Brothers-like split from his filmmaking partner and brother Bobby nearly a decade ago. In their separate endeavors, the brothers who brought us such enduring classics asfrom two years ago, which was received poorly and quickly memory-holed after debuting on Apple TV+.

Though the men manage a vague Instagram page for Ricky that seems to have everyone fooled, it’s when JT misses the birth of his child that the claws start tightening on the guys. Unless Ricky Stanicky can make an appearance at JT’s new child’s upcoming bris, the jig will finally be up. But Rod’s enthusiasm for his new character steps over the line in the wake of the successful bris showing, and it’s a race against time to get Ricky and Rod out of their lives for good. The only problem is that Rod, as Ricky, seems incapable of anything other than failing upwards. Rod’s charisma is convincing to the point of pure absurdity, and just how far it’s able to take him as he drags the other three men down seems like an impossible ceiling to hit.
