The Real Bros of Simi Valley: The Movie

Longtime fan of Jimmy Tatro & Christian Pierce and love the Real Bros of Simi Valley series - this was funny, and it was great seeing the characters again... but it felt like an extended episode of just another season of the show... in movie form instead of episodic form... and as such, it didn't really rise to the level you'd expect from a movie.

Revisiting the Hawk ages fast and Wade doesn't burn gags was great - but they leaned a bit too heavily on that.

Also, the enjoyable part about the show was the over the top exaggerated "simi bro" lingo/attitude/acting - but it seemed overplayed in the movie as compared to the series. Like it went past the point of "funny over exaggeration" where the laugh came from you going "wow, but I know people just like this" to the point where it's like a parody of an over-exaggeration that is so outlandish that it's less funny.

Not sure if that makes sense, but basically things are funnier when writers/actors aren't telegraphing "this is silly so you're supposed to laugh"... like Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in Step Brothers, hilarious... Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly in that Sherlock Holmes movie... painfully unfunny.

I hope we get another season of the show - and hopefully somebody like Netflix will pick it up. Because in bite-sized doses... this show is a 8.5-9/10 but in movie form with no breaks, after this many years of the jokes, it's a bit stale.

And for the record, Wade totally doesn't burn.

I shouldn't have doubted the boys but I was nervous at the fact that it was going from an episode format to a movie and wow, did this exceed my expectations. Everything was done so well. For it being a movie, it still felt like watching the classic Simi episodes. Even after it being so long, it felt like it picked up right where we left off. All of the homies made appearances, the puns were still hilarious, the writing was phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about this project. Please make more Simi content! Jimmy, Christian, I AM BEGGING PLEASE MAKE MORE EPISODES! We need a new intro for Johnny.

So funny. They all kill it in their characters. The best parody of SoCal personalities I've ever seen. Passive aggressive, trucks, tacos, business opportunities, etc...it's sick dude. I'm gonna say a bunch of characters so that this computer thing lets me go and get back to crushin silver bullets and Outback Steakhouse dawg and I don't even need it to do it lol and I'm just trying my ooooooooo best I have is to go back in my truck lol but it's just not working right for the reason so why I keep it on me I guess it's a little more of the problem but I'm gonna keep going on my car to make a lot lol but am I at 60 characters yet dawg?

This movie was everything and more. The movie was like several Simi episodes mashed into one in the best way possible. They stuck to the show and didn't stray. The humor, the drama, the plot, i mean everything was giving. Great movie! If you loved the show, you'll love the movie! They kept in some of the running gags, there were cameos from other characters, there were plot twists, there were new characters.

I would definitely recommend watching the series before you watch the movie. They just recently uploaded them all to youtube! If you watch the series, you'll catch the running gags, the iconic jokes, and the references. Did not disappoint. My hat goes to Jimmy and Christian, great job!

This is one of the funniest movies I have seen in recent memory. It's not easy to make a good comedy these days and Jimmy Tatro / Christian Pierce have nailed it with their spoof on reality television. All of the characters compliment each other very well and it's the type of humor that might not be for everyone, but it's perfect for the modern age / anyone who is familiar with their past humor on YouTube and the internet. Seeing the evolution from the tv show into the movie was seamless and I only hope they have more ideas to bring everyone back for another movie or season. Thank you Jimmy and Christian for shining a light on the gift that keeps giving: Bros.
