Ricky was a pretentious little twerp
Ricky was a pretentious drug dealing douchenozzle that tried to kill another kid for making fun of his haircut. I'd rather be friends with someone like Angela, as fake as she is, than a psychopath like Ricky. Everything that came out of his mouth was nonsensical pretentious drivel, reciting a soliloquy about a bag blowing in the wind like its Shakespeare.
This movie tries to portray him as one of the protagonists but there's nothing to like about him.
