At the Movies: John Cena gets the laughs in middling comedy ‘Ricky Stanicky'

By LINDSEY BAHR
AP Film Writer

Your tolerance for the new Peter Farrelly comedy “Ricky Stanicky” may come down to whether or not you think the idea of accidentally miming a certain sex act is funny. The concept is of little consequence to the plot. It's something that a few of the leads notice that the buttoned-up leader of a financial company (William H. Macy) does when he makes speeches. They decide that that's why he's unable to close a deal, giving it a name that is repeated so many times it could be a new drinking game. The movie thinks this is just comedy gold. You might too.

Zac Efron and John Cena star in “Ricky Stanicky.”
