After his foray into Oscar-winning films, Green Book (2018), Peter Farrelly returns to his natural style of humor, with its mix of scatology and sexual obsession, but also elements of poetry, in a well-written form and performed by a successful cast. His masterpieces include There's Something About Mary (1998), Me, Myself And Irene (2000) and Dumb And Dumber (1994). This is a reminder of the heights that can surely no longer be reached. Here we find snatches of impertinence. We're led here by John Cena, who proves himself a relatively chameleonic performer, oscillating here between the grotesque and the moving, as is the film. And we also have Zac Efron and William H. Macy.
This is a tale of sorts, with John Cena finding his princess and his place in a business world. He is the imaginary alibi for three friends' outings. Of course, the entourage demands to see this friend. The three friends hire an amateur actor, John Cena, to play this friend. It's a register of comedy and outrage. John Cena excels. William H. Macy also does a fine job in a pathetic character.
We're not at the level of the aforementioned masterpieces, but this Ricky Stanicky is rather a pleasant surprise, as impertinent films are quite rare.
