Storyline:
What happens when a lie goes too far?
Three childhood best friends pull off a prank that goes horribly wrong. To avoid the consequences, they invent an imaginary person—Ricky Stanicky—to take the blame.
What starts as a one-time alibi turns into a decades-long excuse for all their reckless and immature behavior. Whenever they need a way out, they blame Ricky Stanicky.
But when their friends, families, and significant others start demanding to finally meet this elusive Ricky, the trio is forced to find a real person to play the role—leading to a chaotic, laugh-out-loud disaster where their long-running joke might finally catch up with them.
A wild and irreverent comedy, Ricky Stanicky is a hilarious look at friendship, growing up (or refusing to), and the ridiculous lengths we’ll go to in order to avoid responsibility.
