Ricky

Ricky was surprisingly fun and heartwarming. I'm not usually a fan of romantic comedies, but this one is so quirky and delightful that I couldn't resist. I love the use of the Rocky theme mixed with Cyrano. Very clever. I really felt for Ricky and Matt Markey is really good in the role. I'll see it again and be sure I have some buddies over to watch with me. The supporting cast was also excellent. Ricky is a character everyone can relate to and we've all been where he is. This film made me smile and laugh and even got me a bit choked up. I can see that it would appeal to the masses and I'm surprised it never was in the major theaters. It should get out there. See this movie, you'll be glad you did!

Usually as a guy a romantic comedy isn't my first choice. This movie integrated Rockyisms, which was very creative and funny. It made it more of movie a man could enjoy. A lot of funny scenes and a few dull moments but overall a creative and funny romantic comedy. A lot of trash talking and joking involved between the characters. The main character Ricky reminded me of lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump. He was gullible and funny at the same time. A few bar, strip club, and massage parlor scenes I did enjoy being i am that type of guy so i could relate. Really enjoyed this movie from start to finish. big props to the cast and crew.I would recommend seeing this with your lady friend.

Ricky is a charming independent film - it is a story about working hard towards something you thought you always wanted, only later on to realize that you don't really want it after all. You go on Ricky's journey of growth and are there with him in dealing with his own insecurities and watch as he rises above them and finds confidence and empowerment within himself. You find yourself being able to relate to the characters and I thought the group of kids who were snobby and insensitive were hilarious (yet we all secretly wanted to be a part of their world) and we all I think can relate to Ricky during various points of the film. Not going to lie, there is a somewhat awkward scene about massage parlors in the film along with a strip club scene but other than that, check it out if you're bored at home and want some time to kill :)

Ricky is a breath of fresh air for Romantic Comedy's. It takes an average guy's movie idol (Rocky) and instills into his own personal life....Don't settle for less then the best, the best might be right in front of you without you even having to chase it! Ricky finds that beauty comes in all ways and is not only skin deep. Ricky finally realizes that some people are just superficial and only care about what other people think of them. He doesn't have to put up a front to the people that are his true friends. Stay true to who you are and to where you came from. Sometimes the grass isn't greener on the other side.

Ricky has funny cast of characters that most guys can relate too.

Nice job!

I admit I was a little reluctant going into this movie. I loved Rocky (1976), and I usually dislike formulaic, romantic comedies. I was pleasantly surprised. Matt Markey and Sabrina Bolin's performances were compelling and heartfelt, and I quickly found myself genuinely caught up the drama. The homage to Rocky and boxing gave it just the edge I needed to make the romantic sappiness more palatable. I am a "chick," and I like plenty of "girl" stuff, but I tend not to like "chick flicks."

The movie provided a good end-of-the-week escape, lots of laughs, and is a great "date night" choice for any couple.
