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'm slightly biased because I'm a big fan of the series and all the people involved in the making of this...

I'll start by saying I'm slightly disappointed that this couldn't be an actual 4th season but the effort that went into this movie was appreciated. Tons of cameos and funny throughout the surprising runtime. I'm really hoping the hype for this franchise builds and builds because I really think they could continue bringing the laughs. The movie was shot super well and feels like a REAL comedy, as opposed to a lot of the Hollywood "comedies" that seem way too watered down/have agendas and checklists... I was a little disappointed some of my favorite characters (Aldis) didn't get a lot of screen time but I understand the movie needed to cut some fat.

It's actually weird, I think Jimmy Tatro has been involved in some of the funniest projects I've seen in the last 10 years. From 22 Jump Street to American Vandal and The Machine, this guy along with Christian Pierce have such an amazing lens when it comes to sketch comedy and now film. Even if Real Bros comes to an end, I can't wait to see what they have in mind down the road.

Bryce, Duncan and Wade are so so so funny in this series... Anything those guys say is funny. The girls in this movie are also bringing a lot of laughs and I just think overall this ensemble is the current funniest in entertainment right now. I can't think of any other ensembles who are bringing this much entertainment to the table right now. Please spread the good word of this movie to your friends, because it needs to be shared. Every time I watch Real Bros I start to riff and get silly like the characters and I feel like what Tatro and the cast do is contagious.

9/10.

I never thought that watching a TV series I watched years ago could make me this happy. I loved every nonsense and every drama. I'm glad the reunion movie was made. It was 10/10. I realised that my eyes were filled with tears when the credits came.

Is it normal that I got really sad and cried in the last scene of Hawk and Bryce?

Even though I really love all the characters, Bryce will always be number one in my heart.

Btw, I'm very upset that Johnny wasn't in the intro, but so happy that the new season was promised. The new season should come immediately. I don't want this for myself, I want this for Johnny...

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!

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?
