The Real Bros of Simi Valley: The Movie

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.

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.

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?

I'll start by saying that you probably will want to see the show before seeing the movie, but it's not a must. Much of the humor is new content, but the running gags like Hawk rapidly aging, Wade not burning and guys pretending to have done all the work on their own trucks but only having installed new subs, etc. Won't be as funny if you're not clued in on the context. They do the "Previously on Real Bros" cold open that gives some context but you'll still feel a bit left in the dark at times. All three seasons are free on Jimmy's YouTube channel, by the way.

Jimmy, Wade, Nick and Tanner are still absolutely hilarious in their roles, as are most of the girls. (especially Lexy omg) I was sad that Pete Davdison and Victoria Justice didn't make returns, but there are a ton of celebrity appearances that make up for it. The story itself is pretty fascinating and the characters get into some really goofy situations. The social commentary is epic also. I'm still shocked at how entertaining and hilarious this was, and I'm already itching for new content from these guys. A proper 4th season would be great but a sequel to this movie would work also.

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.
