Audience Member I didn't expect much because it's such a common story and there were no big actors. The cast selection, action and direction were just fine, and I wouldn't change a thing. It's an enjoyable film that I'd watch again. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ricky is the story of a "lovable" loser who tries to win back the girl of his dreams by enlisting the help of another girl and, well, we all know where this is going. The story is pretty predictable and the jokes tend to fall flat, but there are a few good moments in this film. When the main character bumps into his ex-girlfriends father at an Asian massage was a pretty hilarious scene. Also, Ricky's failed auditions throughout the movie do offer a sample of Mark Markey's comedic talents. But overall the film just doesn't flow well. Ricky's ex is so horrible that she becomes a caricature. Ricky is made out to be so clueless in an attempt to establish his naivety that before long you just stop rooting for him. By the end of the film he just doesn't feel real anymore. At best he is a complete idiot. At worst he is delusional. And the end of the movie was a total disappointment. By then you start wishing someone would get a restraining order filed because it stops being funny and starts feeling uncomfortable. Although we are suppose to be happy about Ricky standing up to the elitist who tormented him throughout the movie, you just feel like it is another example of a guy who really should have let it go a lot sooner. But the soundtrack was exceptional and the acting was pretty good for an independent film. Although Matt Markey (who wrote, starred in, and directed the film) didn't score a knockout with Ricky, he showed some comedic chops. Ricky isn't great, but it does have its moments. Just not enough of them. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Writer and lead actor Matt Markey captivates the spirit of unanimously winning it all in this triumphant and heartfelt comedy about love and friendship. 'Ricky' is a date night must see filled with sparkling moments!!! ***This die hard 'Rocky' fan will charm your heart***    Aspiring actor Ricky McDown goes the distance to become the 'perfect' guy for the mistakenly 'perfect' girl Tracy, after kissing the canvas and losing her to Casanova Brad. Adorable boxer Janie rescues Ricky's down and out broken heart by training him to contend with far more than just fighting. Matchmaker Janie is saved by the bell as Ricky weighs in to even out the score to win his girlfriend Tracy back from the pretentious Brad . You'll cheer for the witty and lovable Ricky as he muscles through each jab of relationship revenge. Clinching every bet ever made against his odds. Proving he's a lover and a fighter.  This sentimental movie is packed with tough love punches for the soul. It will entertain you with its buoyant humor and inspiring heroism. Markey cleverly illuminates the premise of  'never judge a book by it's cover'.  'Ricky' is a gargantuan knockout of the park debut film for leading edge writer Matt Markey.
