Zac Efron and John Cena are set to star in the new comedy Ricky Stanicky, and the first trailer for the Prime Video release is online. Prime Video released the trailer on Friday, and you can check it out below.

The Peter Farrelly-directed film releases on March 7th and stars Efron, Jermaine Fowler, Andrew Santino, Lex Scott Davis, Anja Savcic, Jeff Ross with William H. Macy and Cena. Written by Jeff Bushell and Brian Jarvis, James Lee Freeman, Farrelly, Pete Jones, and Mike Cerrone, it’s described as follows:

When three childhood best friends pull a prank gone wrong, they invent the imaginary Ricky Stanicky to get them out of trouble! Twenty years after creating this ‘friend,’ Dean, JT, and Wes (Zac Efron, Andrew Santino, and Jermaine Fowler) still use the nonexistent Ricky as a handy alibi for their immature behavior. When their spouses and partners get suspicious and demand to finally meet the fabled Mr. Stanicky, the guilty trio decide to hire washed-up actor and raunchy celebrity impersonator “Rock Hard” Rod (John Cena) to bring him to life. But when Rod takes his role of a lifetime too far, they begin to wish they’d never invented Ricky in the first place.
