Ricky Stanicky, The guy who wanted to change the world!

Warning: Spoilers
Ricky Stanicky has some very good actors, I Like Zac Efron, and he didn't disappoint. And also had John Cena, who I thought was excellent and really delivered. Probably, his best performance. The film wasn't quite up to par with the quality of the performances, it was quite predictable. However, I still found the film to be pretty funny.

Ricky Stanicky is a fake person, made up by 3 guys, 2 who have wifes, and the other who's gay. This becomes a bit of a theme later on, just like the group of friends who say "To Ricky Stanicky, the Guy who doesn't exist". I love how the 3 cause trouble but they blame it on someone else, heck, they even put a house on fire at the start.

The Relationships of the group is always on and off, because the couples eventually caught them out for lying. And that's one of the themes, there's a message here, it's better to tell the truth then to lie, sort of. As the 2 wife's seem to tell them, and this leads to some odd interactions, especially right near the end just before the Credits roll-up, which is quite funny.

Ricky, played by John Cena is the key ingredient to all the guys troubles. And as an actor, he plays the guy of Ricky. On the Sunday for a celebratory party they are having, to mark the 5th anniversary of Ricky's cancer virus, which had gone. And he is usually hated and a drug addict. Singing in restaurants and bars and getting paid little attention. But, he wants to change. And therefore, changes his name to Ricky.

Ricky helped out lots of people, all around the world, and Ricky wanted to actually prove he did it. So he goes and helps those who are in desperate need of help, and who wants some support. He is very honest and very kind to everybody and completely changes his ways, just like my title page suggests. And we see a few snippets of the people he's helped. And managed to create some kind of happiness.

I would say for me personally the film did drag a little threw the middle, but on the whole the pacing of the film is fairly reasonable, for the most part. And does add some good insights on Ricky before he became very popular and changed his ways. It's a very good contrast that this film had. Also the sets were very beutiful throughout the film, very layered and detailed and that definitely added to the story.

Would I recommend this film?,

Yes, but don't watch it if you don't like Vulgar scenes.
