The Real Bros of Simi Valley: The Movie

My review is coming, strictly from the heart. I discovered the show through a meme from a friend who reposted a story on Instagram and boy am I so grateful. I never thought I would have so many laughs in my car during my lunch hour. Good times. The best part is I live in Idaho and many Californians have come to move here (an exodus of which I have no problem with); needless to say, any Californian who crosses my path immediately gets introduced to the Real Bros whether they want to or not. It is like a gospel I try to share with the world. Some people think it's a fake show - some people believe it's real. I tell neither the truth.

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!

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.

This movie swings 1000 times and hits about 900. They literally find a way to put a joke or a laugh in like every 5 seconds of this movie. Also after you watch this movie you'll want to watch savages. If you own a pt cruiser this movie is a must watch. The only part that was missing was Vitoria justice. She would have made the movie better. But Bryce as always was the funniest character. Wade also had a surprising amount of laughs. Molly had alot to do this time around so did Johnny which was a good change of pace. Duncan was really funny in the movie as well. There really wasn't a weak point in this movie at all. Just laughs from start to finnish.

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.
