John Cena hit the orange carpet in a striped suit at the premiere of his new movie Ricky Stanicky held at Regal-E Walk on Tuesday (March 5) in New York City.

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.

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.
