Saved by Cena
Cena saves this...
Thanks to Cena this movie is a worth a watch. Some of the other actors had a one or two lines that were kind of funny but Cena steals the show proving he can do comedy as well as anyone and certainly better than his wrestling counterpart The Rock. Some of the jokes fall short or even seem a little lame but Cena did a good job keeping this interesting and made me want to keep watching. I will say that Zac Efron wasn't too bad either and he's come along way since that Hairspray movie proving he can do more than just sing. Don't go in with high expectations and you won't be disappointed. 6 stars.
Farrelly back to silly edgy comedy - and it works (for the most part) - very funny
Director Peter Farrelly reverts to his silly edgy comedy base with "Ricky Stanicky" - which COULDA flunked but for some great one-liners (from Farrelly & five co-writers) and John Cena being on fire. Three pre-teen pals make-up the titular 'friend' to blame shenanigans on... continuing to do so as adults Zac Efron, Andrew Santino & Jermaine Fowler (inc to their boss William H Macy) - but when cornered into needing him to show at a family event, they have drunk Atlantic City 'adult entertainer' Cena play him... and events escalate! It's low-brow fare with flat moments, but particularly when Cena's on-screen the ol' laugh-out-loud Farrelly magic is there. Very funny stuff.
