Peter Farrelly: Last News

EXCLUSIVE: Actor-comedian Jermaine Fowler is set to co-write, executive produce and star in an untitled single-camera comedy, which has received a script commitment at Fox.

Everything you need to know about the new movie, Ricky Stanicky is on the poster with a stark message plastered right across it: WARNING! AN R-RATED COMEDY. Oh, and the fact that it is directed and co-written by Peter Farrelly also tells you a lot. This is undeniably a return to the kinds of outrageous, raunchy, anything-goes-style of comedy that made the Farrelly brand a household name with films like Dumb And Dumber, Shallow Hal, Kingpin, Stuck On You, and the ‘Citizen Kane’ of the genre, There’s Something About Mary. More recently Farrelly, who also managed to put heart in even the wildest of situations, took his career in a different direction with his wonderful and emotional Oscar winning Green Book, as well as the terrific true story, The Greatest Beer Run Ever which starred Zac Efron. The latter is now reunited with the filmmaker and the results are laugh out loud hilarious in Ricky Stanicky which will also certify John Cena as a real deal comedy star, something I never expected to say. The guy has great comedic chops, at least in this.

What was old was extremely new on Netflix in January and even into this month.
