Thirteen years after the release of the TV channel "TNT" closes one of its main hits - the comedy series "Real boys". Young “pociks” have long turned into “real men”, and the red girl – into adult ladies, whose age is close to Balzac. During the broadcast, the series, recognized as a cultural heritage of the Perm region, survived 10 seasons or 291 episodes, as well as one “zombic” feature film. The actors of the series became real stars of Russian cinema and show programs, and for the production company Good Story Media, the comedy became a hallmark.
For everyone who has watched “The Boys” for more than ten years, Kolyan, Vova, Antokh, Mashka, Valya, Bazanov, Oznobikhin, Armenka, Lera, Edik, Sergey Ivanovich and, of course, the incomparable aunt Marina will forever remain in memory as characters of the beloved comedy. It is likely that the opportunity not to realize themselves in other directions and forced the actors and producers to close the already obsolete project. Left in the middle of the series Anton Bogdanov has long been engaged in directing ("Tree 8", "Ivan Semenov"), but it is unlikely that he will be able to get rid of the stigma of "Red from "Real Boys" in the coming years. The same fate, I am sure, is prepared for Vov Selivanov (Vova) and Nikolai Naumov (Kolyan). I hope that new projects will help to get the trinity out of the already familiar roles.
For ten seasons, the heroes (especially Kolyan) had a lot of adventures. The main character taught us to dance pasodoble, write a book, fight in the ring, lead the village and, of course, get into the most unpleasant situations. But the main thing to learn from Long is a sincere friendship with his two boys. Kolya is ready to sacrifice everything (sometimes even his own family) to pull out friends and troubles, although he often has to turn to friends. This is a true friendship!
“Real Boys” has a significant disadvantage – the inability of the authors to stop in time. After the chic “Perm” and “Moscow” seasons, there was a frank sucking out of the finger. Each time the writers tried to come up with something like this for the characters, but with each season the interest of the viewer faded. Realizing this, the producers decided to curtail the epic, but it turned out what happened. The finale of the project remained open, which I, as a viewer, did not like at all. We have to figure out what eventually became of the key characters and why the authors could not adequately finish the years of Santa Barbara properly. Sadly, the project literally merged on the last series.
Perhaps the final of "Real boys" put not a greasy point, but an ellipsis. But I will definitely miss Aunt Marina.
How did TNT and Nbsp threaten their own TV series?
Real guys. How much those words mean to me. I remember always after school, at 20:00 he played TNT and watched Real Boys with his parents. In the beginning, this series was very good, somewhere the first 3 seasons were really interesting. But once everything changed.
Real boys were a story about how Gopniks get on the path of correction, and the main character in this series was Nikolai Naumov. The purpose of this series was to show how people are able to change, and to show their lives, that is, it was a series not about fictional characters, but quite about real ordinary ones, and we were shown reality as it was. The series launched in 2010, then no one could think that the story of Gopnik will be interesting to people, but still became, and stretched as much as 14 seasons.
In addition to Kolyan, there were a lot of memorable characters, including his friends Anton Bogdanov and Vladimir Selivanov, Edik performed by Stanislav Tlyashev, which is only worth his already legendary dance at his wedding with Valya performed by Valentina Mazunina, by the way, there was also Alexey Bazanov was to marry a prostitute Nastya Ivanchuk, and both avoided this. As time passed, the characters changed, matured and actually got older too. Kolyan got a family with Lera Oborina performed by Zoe Berber, Edik muddled with Valya, then with Masha, but still decided to stay with Masha, Anton at some point almost lost Kolyan as a friend because of Natasha, with whom Kolyan also had an affair in the Moscow season. Vova together with Antokha worked in a car service, then they, if I honestly do not remember where they worked further, but I remember that it was the trio in the person of Kolyan, Vova and Antokha that were the main characters of this series, and at some point Anton Bogdanov left the series, Kolyan changed to such an extent that he became a deputy, and Vova got along with Valya, and also got a family with her. At some point, there was even a season where Kolyan had to take on the re-education of essentially his successor Garik, who had mutkas with the teacher, and had friends in the face of “Jackal”, and “Koschei”. That's just, the Jackal and Koschei continued to act after this season, and Garik is not, although it was he who was supposed to replace Kolyan as the main character of the series, and even then it was traced that the creators of the series have no idea what to do next with the main characters, but decided to continue, again switching attention to the main characters, and removed the season with touring, and in my opinion, this season was to end the entire series. By the way, this season was the last with Anton Bogdanov. And if you think that in the last season he fully returned to at least 1 episode, then just forget, he appeared there only in the last 2 minutes of the last series, and this appearance was very strange. We were not told at all about how his life went on, he just appeared in the last 2 minutes with the words: "Well, Vova, man, you're stupid."
The farewell season takes place in the village of Naumovka. And if you watched the previous season and remember that Kolyan was stuck in Turkey at the end, then just forget it, they won’t explain how he got out of there. And just immediately we will be transferred to the village, where Kolyan’s grandmother died, bequeathed him village property, and Bazanov, I understand, he still works in Perm, his mother died. Some weird start to the comedy season. Everyone is doing their own business and that’s all. Only these cases are very strange, then stealing milk from goats, then cows and dogs, then throwing manure. They also showed the leisure of local elderly people, but where is the leisure of young people? Or, like, scriptwriters think there's no one in the village but old people, right? The whole season is focused on old age. Yes, the main characters are really very old, but other than that, we will not hear anything more from the series, like, well, well, well, they are old, well, life is like this. And this begs the question: if the creators themselves already understood that everything is not what it is, why did you keep filming it?
The only thing I really liked in the farewell season is the arch of Bazanov with his three exes in the person of Nastya Ivanchuk performed by Anastasia Ploskova, Margot performed by Olga Plekhanova, and the one from which he had a son (I forgot her name and do not remember her at all in previous seasons). It was really interesting to know who he was staying with. And by the way, he was promoted, and now he works alone, and Igor Oznobikhin moved to Naumovka, and got a job as a district officer. And damn, I was even happy that Bazanov was doing something interesting, but the penultimate series decided to take everything from Bazanov, and he was left alone.
What about Edik, Masha and Vali?
There's an arch of money-driven madness at Edick's. Masha at first does not tell anyone that she and Edik are rich, then she balked, and Valya was fired from her job for bribery, and now she is ready to do anything so that she and Vova have money to corrupt their daughters, and really anything that even decides to seduce Edik, finding out that he is rich.
Well, the final series differs from all the previous ones, and in fact is a special episode where Kolyan, Masha and Oznobikhin meet with film producers who are like: "Well, what are you real guys, who are you even interested in?" Is this the way to say goodbye to the show? It's kind of disrespectful. Yes, the era of the popularity of the series has long passed, but why could it not be more respectful to complete the whole business? These film producers said the words written in the script, which means that the writers themselves believe that their series is now really no one needs, but you yourself created this series, why do you yourself speak so disrespectfully about your offspring?
And yet, I will still remember this series as a good and enjoyable pastime, as something good from a young past, because it has always been a part of my life. I started watching this series in high school and finished it at 19. “Real Boys” was a part of my story, for which I am very grateful.
I watched real kids when I was a student, we were all stuck in the dorm. It is difficult to objectively evaluate such series, they are more suitable for relaxation and distraction from complex detective stories or thrillers. It would seem that there is nothing instructive here, as they say: “It was for cattle.” But I don't agree. You can laugh and see yourself in a lot of characters. For example, as a student, I also worked part-time in hardware stores and sold phones like Kolya.
Let’s face it, what’s the audience for Real Boys? Of course, these are young people for the most part. The series is an ironic reflection of some aspects of modern Russian life, as well as fun and light humor that makes you smile.
Speaking of actors. [Nikolai Naumov] - Well, great, isn't it? An ordinary patsy from an area that the police station visits more often than his own house. Valukha (Valentina Mazunina) is a typical Russian fighting woman. I don’t know why, I liked him on the show. Masha is a lady of Kolyan, well, she did not cause any sympathy for me, the only one of them.
In each new series there is the use of alcoholic beverages. Well, this can be attributed to the disadvantages, too much it shows us. However, this is normal for the Russian people. Drink a beer after work. Well, I don't know, it's not for me to judge who likes it, someone doesn't.
Important, very important. It's shooting. There are no sharp transitions or special effects. Anyone can do this with any phone. It is this kind of shooting that makes the whole thrill of the series and the atmosphere in general.
Anyway, I liked the show. The series is short, which is cool. A couple of episodes for the evening and a good mood. This series is not suitable for a very “correct” one.
I remember as a student back in 2010, I watched this series and was surprised by the humor that writers prescribe with amazing detail! And moreover, the acting talent of the heroes who played this humor by 200%! Even minor (and third-rate) characters played their roles perfectly.
I will not retell the series - it should be watched from the first series and not missed, because each series is tied to the previous one. I think this is one of the best domestic comedy series.
I don’t know why, but season five ruined the whole story. Operators began shooting on full-frame cameras with expensive optics and the comedy mocumentary turned into an art drama with a disgusting flowerbone and terrible camera work. And according to the script, the operator no longer walks behind the hero and does not remove Kolyan for shock, and it became not clear at all who and how is now spying on life 'boys'. The number of jokes has decreased significantly. Heroes have lost their character. The picture has changed. More dramatic stories than comedic adventures. And the show sank to the bottom. How could you ruin such an amazing sitcom - the mind is incomprehensible. You can explain the thirst for profit, but then why not sell the series together with the entire crew?
In season 5, Leroux was confused with some other character and made of her an absolutely negative hero. Kolyan turned into a soft-bodied amoeba and it was already evident that he did not want to shoot especially. And, of course, it was impossible not to cram into the series ' personalities that will increase popularity'. Why are Kukoyaka and Shulico there? Why does Spitz have a facial expression that does not change throughout the season?
After season 5, the series lasted another 7 seasons + a full-length fantasy against zombies. I’m scared to see what’s going on there. I’ve already dropped the show on season six. I’ll see how much I have this time.
But so spoil, I am not ashamed of this word, a brilliant comedy series - it is necessary to have talent.
You know, writing a positive review of this series is like playing giveaways. Like stupid heroes, inconspicuous plot, contrived stories. And -- for me, it's a vacation movie. When I don't want to think, it's not the first time I turn it off. He's like a background when I'm doing something else. And here's the interesting thing. I'm starting to get involved again.
Because despite all the flaws in this film, there is one fascinating story. It's Kohli and Lera's relationship. The most fantastic storyline. It’s impossible to believe and that’s why it’s such a beautiful story. And we love the fairy tale about Ivan the fool and the princess from the castle.
This is a series about horrific social injustice. Which, unfortunately, is perceived by the creators as an incorrigible given. Maybe she is. Breaking out of the Khrushchev workers is almost impossible. But you can live, rejoice, dull, drink. And that's life too. It may not be the same as those who read and write reviews. But this is how most people live and not only in our country.
'Sor' from which grows all that sincere, poetic, original that is in the series 'Real boys' - the most that neither is classic.
So, if you take the dramaturgy and heroes - they are all without exception taken from the Russian stand-up: urban folklore of the 90s, erected to various degrees of vulgarity. It is curious that all these stand-up clowns, as a rule, mocked the life they did not know - because they were either indigenous Muscovites or Ukrainians (Odessites) by origin, and outside Moscow / Odessa in Russia in the 90s, if they went, then on a seasonal basis.
The most paradoxical thing is that the times in which the series takes place are completely different! It's 2010, guys! What a bloomer, what bandits! But when you watch the series, you only see the realities of the 1990s. It is clear that the creators ' Real boys' did not do it on purpose - and ' Ural punk' stuck in the 90s, and Russian stand-up, and cult gangster cinema, and gangster anecdotes all about the 90s. But still sometimes you need to look out the window and watch something other than records 'Ural dumplings' and 'Comedy Club'!
However, when compared with such a sample of TV slag as 'Chicki' (where all provincial males are alcoholics and bandits, and all women are prostitutes), in 'Real boys' all the time you see something good.
Well, the authors have no artistic taste, and in school they would do well to study literature (including ' At the bottom' read). And yet! - the series they shot about the most real people, albeit placed in delusional scenario conditions.
The main character, Kolyan, despite the fact that he portrays himself as a classical Gopnik, constantly reflects on the meaning of life. Love. Good and evil.
The same goes for all the other characters. Which, in fact, initially - no more than functions in the mechanism of the standard sitcom & #39; TNT-comedy', but from which the shoots of real provincial life are constantly breaking through.
About which the authors 'Real boys' (unlike the creators of the same 'Chick') have a clear idea.
As well as what is ' good' and what is ' bad'. And that the criteria ' good' and ' bad' for them - it's not ' you can raise money' and ' you can't raise money'.
I’ll be honest, this series started quite acceptable and I especially liked some series. And the concept seems really good. But is everything okay? Not exactly. I will immediately say that there will be spoilers, so I apologize for this to the moderators of the site.
The adventure of Kolya Naumov in ' ways of correction' it looks quite normal at the beginning. Only then did I have the feeling that all the morality voiced by the main character at the end of each episode did not affect any development of the character. The same can be said for the other characters.
The humorous component is also quite ambiguous, because in the beginning there were some funny moments. Only then did such humor exhaust itself.
Well, about himself ' the way of correction': originally and planned TV show for the period of probation of Nicholas and that's when everything came to an end, the series somehow continues and will not end. In general game.
Except that the character of Sergei Ershov as an image ' Gopnik' is the only breath of fresh air, and the rest including ' the main characters' are only imitators of this image.
As a result, we have a series with a good, but spoiled concept because the conventions created initially are destroyed by the creators. I’m not going to talk about the complete inferiority of the series, but I don’t want to overestimate it on the basis of popularity among young people either.
I just want to make a reservation, the positive from the series is limited to the first season.
From my point of view, the first season of the series is a brilliant and the only one in wide distribution sketch of provincial life of the youth of the Urals and Siberia. This is not even a comedy, just sketches from life, which are anecdotes in themselves.
A person from the western part of Russia may think that the actors are overplaying or the plots are sucked out of a finger. That's not true. Those who ' not the topic' it is just to accept: people really talk with such a strange accent, for 30 rubles can really brew a serious showdown (not that all poor, but, on principle), people really endlessly lie even for the most innocuous reason, after which they get into stupid situations, boys from the East are really raised so that they are ready to harness for a kindergarten friend even if you need someone to bury. Perhaps it will seem too much, but season 1 is even a must-see, as it gives a good idea of the people who live with us in the same country.
Seasons 2 and beyond are fiction sucked out of a finger. This is understandable, the life of the boys is not replete with plots, they are all one and therefore repeated simply in different ways.
Bottom line: the first season is a must-watch, then only if you have a lot of free time.
Despite the harsh criticism from many, they say ' it was for cattle' and generally irrelevant, few view the entire plot of the series.
The series is primarily about correcting, becoming a person. I want to laugh at that bastard. The series is built on another idea: from the usual 'boys', celebrated at the district, the characters turn (slowly but surely) into diligent citizens, cells of our society.
Naturally, as in any series, the course of formation of our heroes lies through funny stories, love dramas and crazy conflicts, and not in some fabulous setting, but in full measure we are familiar and simple, which makes the series so close to our lives.
To understand the humor of this series, do not need ' suck a beer' on the bench, because this category of citizens does not realize the whole comedy, because shown on the screen, is familiar. I believe that all the comic episodes are built on the demonstration of these 'boy thinking', actions.
Pros:
Very bright and distinctive characters.
Actors are incredibly realistic.
Bold and unusual humor stemming from standard clichés.
Cons:
“Friends are your cross that you must bear in life.”
Good day, dear friends! I would like to draw your attention to my modest review. This is a comedy series, the only task of which is to cheer up, laugh, and make you plunge a little into another reality. The creators initially did not put any claim to genius. Directed by Zhanna Kadnikova.
As for the acting, everything is again very good, not for the Oscars of course, but everything is natural without excesses and overplay. For example, the same Mashka (Kolyana’s first girlfriend) is a kind of fool with a secret dream of romance and not particularly romantic life circumstances. Mashka is perfectly characterized by one sentence - ' a little stupid, but very cute'. Offensive, sometimes scandalous, but immediately ready to run to his beloved at the first call.
Edik is a fashionable, stylish, but cowardly guy, a lover of whining and crying in a vest, well versed in technology.
Valya is a friend of Masha, a well-fed, short girl, with an extremely aggressive character, a typical fighting woman whom Edika managed to marry not out of love, but out of fear. Their typical, eternal love triangle is both funny and scary, but Edik still managed to decide what was more important to him.
This film is a real cast from the modern life of an ordinary Russian urban district (I do not dispute the share of the grotesque there is), but in general... everything is just that! It is such & #39; Marina’s aunts & #39; can mat everyone and everything, including their children, earn pennies and drag food from the cafeteria, because they barely make ends meet, but at the same time they will tear up anyone who offends their child.
Humor is different and you need it too! I love and have great respect for David Fincher and Steven Spielberg, but I won’t watch their films every day after work. Because there have to be projects that have the sole purpose of unloading the brain. Situations in the series are simply taken from life. From ordinary life, the one that is outside our window, and not the one that is shown on the First Channel.
We were pleased (especially in the first seasons) with new faces on the screen, we all understand that famous, publicized actors will not star in such a series, and do not need it. Yes, of course, the actors in this project are not Marlon Brando, Vladimir Mashkova and Bruce Willis, but for a tape of this level, they are what they should be. In the main characters I see absolutely nothing wrong, except their ignorance. Are they raping, killing or stealing someone? Are they promoting something incompatible with normal life? Not in my opinion! They just live, work, fall in love, sometimes drink, make mistakes and everything else. Yes, of course, the grotesque, caricature and exaggeration of some points has not been canceled, but I see nothing wrong in this.
The secret of the success of the series is that the main character Kolyan, like any young man, is at the crossroads of life. In fact, he does not want to be like his own father – a petty egoist who wants to make money, even if not in an honest way, and does not pay attention to his own son. Therefore, Kolyan focuses on his other fathers & #39; with completely opposite worldviews. One of them is Lera Oborina’s father, Sergey Ivanovich, a real rational capitalist, accustomed to relying only on his own strength and working only for himself. And another mentor, district Oznobikhin (yes, a little funny and ridiculous, like all the characters here) is a person with high social responsibility, who made as many real boys as possible to put on the path of correction. In this, by the way, Oznobikhin’s attitude to Bazanov is very indicative, I think many in life would simply yell at such a bad subordinate and fire him to the devil in a week, and Oznobikhin endures, and even tries to teach him something!
To some extent, the series, of course, is extremely implausible, but you forget about it after a couple of episodes. It is the relationships of people that come to the fore – triangles, squares and other geometric figures. There is no heat of passion as such, but there is a funny solution to problems. and Wovan. Personally, I only see Vova paired with Antoja ... not in the sense that they are a couple, but in the fact that they complement each other - a great example of people who have not known how many years they work and live in their own garage, and who have nothing but a sofa. Yes, they (friends Kolyan - ' this is the cross that he will carry all his life'), they are absurdly ridiculous and unlucky. Maybe that’s why everyone loves them...or laughs at them. After all, who didn’t have “#39,” “jamb” and “#39” friends who attract trouble like a magnet and still can’t leave them?
It is no secret that the original idea of the series was a kind of reality show, in which the main character is Kolyan. This is like a gopnik gopnik, and sometimes how to give such a fiery speech that you involuntarily begin to think... Of course, any girl can be next to such a Kolyan only for love and in no other way, there can simply be no other motives for Kolyan! But Kolyan’s heart has the right values, not everything works out, but he tries, and he will never abandon loved ones in trouble.
Lera Oborin (Zoya Berger) is the daughter of the wealthy and well-respected Perm businessman Sergey Ivanovich. Kolyan has been in love with her almost since childhood, and their chance meeting turns into a romance. Lera, although a rich girl, accustomed to the fact that she has everything she does not want, but from Koli does not require either expensive gifts or something supernatural, she just loved him for what he is, but this love is not approved by either glamorous friends of Lera (who in fact intellectual development is not far from Vali and Mashka, only more pontov), nor Sergey Ivanovich - a typical new Russian who built his business in the dashing 90s. About such as he at one time removed ' Brigade'. With ease can get rid of Kolyan (radical!), but is afraid that 'Lera will be upset'.
In summary, I do not believe that such a film can only be seen by simpletons and cattle from the streets. Of course, I don’t talk like the characters of this sitcom, and 'Real Boys' is not the smartest and deepest series I’ve seen, but definitely one of the funniest! You have to watch it!

I never thought I would like this series. I was very sceptical, knowing how often nefarious TNT releases.
Real Boys is a series about the lives and adventures of three ordinary “real” Permian boys. Kolyan Naumov (the main character) and his two short-sighted friends - Antokh and Vovan. The names of the actors and their characters match, I don’t know why. It's just such a thing about this show. The main idea of the series is to contrast the usual poor blonde boy from the area with the rich glossy elite. The elite here is represented by Ivanovich, a respected successful businessman who rose thanks to the dashing nineties and his daughter Lera. Also, much attention is paid to the mother of Kolyan Marina and her man Armenka. The life of Ivanych and Marina are opposite, which is the main idea of the series. In addition to these characters in the series there are several storylines with Kolyan’s friend and colleague Edik and Edik’s girlfriend Valentina, Kolyan’s ex-girlfriend Mashka and the extremely funny district Igor Sergeyevich and his negligent assistant Bazanov. This duo of two charismatic not-so-smart cops has been fun throughout the series and is one of its main virtues.

The good thing about this series is that it’s not dark. A true depressing picture of the cattle-like behavior of citizens, for which half of the great and powerful Rosseyushka is “famous”, is shown here comedicly and in caricature form. It's also quite realistic. In other words, the series, although it shows the horror of invigorating Russian reality, but does it without rot and blackness, and in a humorous form. The series is seen as a good joke. Each episode is a small sketch, telling one of the many funny situations in which Kolyan falls. He and his friends necessarily get into stupid situations, shook, corrected and again shook, only more seriously. Kolyan is also on the path of correction and keeps his video diary. Such pseudo-documentary inserts made the series more realistic, more lamp and closer to the people, so to speak.
There is also great music and songs in the series. Especially Kolyan's ringtone. It's the perfect fit.
I am also very surprised, to put it mildly, by those who say that Moscow is not for real kids. It is time to move away from this stereotype. It looks stupid.
Antoha’s reference to Douma in the first season wasn’t helpful. Don't touch the DOOM.
What do you want to say about the series as a whole? He did it. This is one of the best, if not the best, Russian series. If I am not happy, I am happy with what I have seen. You can recommend it to everyone, but do not expect much from it. And he's just in the mood. I don’t belong to its target audience and I am an ardent hater of gopniks and hooligans, but I liked this series. It's good to watch it while you're doing something. Cleaning up or going through levels at the DOOM, like I did. A serious approach can ruin the viewing. Still, this is an easy entertainment show, and not a highly intelligent film novel.
The series is officially recognized as a cultural heritage of the Perm Territory.

I don’t know what terrified me more: the rating of these vomit masses, bewilderedly called the series or the fact that it has 76 (!!!) positive reviews.
tNt in general channel of extremes: on the one hand show 'Fool' Bykova and 'Sweet Life', the strongest realism film and series, on the other hand, show a series about cattle. Who wants to say that it is not so cattle and in general ' we still can'. That's what I don't understand. This series would have been appropriate in the 90s, no one would have said a word, then what was not shown. But what he's doing in the prime time of a popular channel in the 2010s is a mystery to me. However, emotions aside, I will write in order.
Humor. Like one of the hypostases. There's no humour in there, just gackany, talking, listening to which you realize that these characters probably have extra chromosomes. The jokes are flat, unfunny in fact and in fact, stupid and played. Although, it is clear - what can be jokes at representatives of Gopniks - gastrointestinal, sexual and digestive spheres. That's all. Primate humor is for primates.
Music. 'Real boys for the moral health of the nation' That was enough to put an end to the music. Something painfully reminiscent of the good old: ' to fight for peace', ' to have sex for virginity', ' to rape for love' These are the same 'boys' that in real life they like to squeeze mobile phones from passers-by, talk about concepts and drink beer with seeds, spitting husks on the environment. I don't know what else to add here. The rest of the lyrics are crazy about how hard it is in Perm. Typical disease of the provincial coupled with envy of the capital & #39; bohata', so whiplashly described by the classics. Which obviously serves as an excuse for my own stupidity and a desire for degradation (I hardly listened to the end).
Actors. But here, as they say, not everything is so clear. Unlike the incompetents, nothingness and simulators from 'Univera', the actors from 'RP' have professional makings, male actors, of course. In my opinion, they did not grow to the cinema, but to the theater - quite. And yes, I know some of them work in the theater. But this does not justify their participation in a talentless and disgusting series. However, here comes the principle ' I am young - I need money'. The trouble is that they ruin themselves by participating in such openly vulgar and talentless film projects. After 'RP' these actors develop a strong sense of disgust and association with this series. Again, due to the fact that I do not like petty-bourgeois and stupid behavior, the behavior of a gopnik who thinks he is the top of the food chain.
Plot. That makes sense. Lies, lies and provocation. On the contrary, no humor, vulgar jokes, far-fetched problems, leading to nothing conversations of the characters. Especially give the arguments of the heroes about what is happening. That's where the thrash is! And listen to their speech: the main connecting construction are parasitic words 'typo', 'che', 'so-so'. That is, adult sexually mature people have such a poor vocabulary that often you simply lose the essence of what they were trying to agree on. I'll tell you the seditious thing: it would be better for them to swear. Much more plausible for such creatures. And if you want to see how the province lives, look at the initial series and flashbacks ' Sweet Life' on the same tNt. Gray, dirt, squalor, poverty, lawlessness of the Chinush and their children. And best of all, leave your cities and go there yourself, try to get a job there, chat with these real boys & #39; Breaking templates is guaranteed.
I made a point of it for myself. For those young people, especially provincials, who do not want to study and honestly work this series as a balm for the soul. And the characters are recognizable. Looks at this flawed man around him and sees: people buy cars, graduate from college, start a business, learn languages. Against this background, it looks like grayness and nothingness! And here comes the TV channel tNt with support: that’s what they say, you are not so bad, such as you are a lot, and in general everything will be fine (but this is not certain). Hence the high ratings, enthusiasm and discussions. Plus the justification of ratings by mass - that's how many of us! So I wouldn't even put one on that stool. But if Kinopoisk insists, then conditionally let it be so. One thing I know for sure - time will pass and people who previously ' it' watched will be ashamed, although they probably will not admit that they watched this series. Of course, those who come to their senses and achieve something in life.
And a wish from yourself. Dear students, teenagers and the generation younger than me! Don't fill your brains with this diarrhea. The creators of the series benefit that you are dull, drink alcohol and smoke. They will not show you the underside of the series and the real fate of such guys ' - life in poverty, then prison and degradation, or work for pennies, or hard physical labor.
I encourage you to read more, engage in sports and self-development. Behave like an intelligent person, not like a semi-poker. I'm telling you this from my childhood in the '90s. All these real boys who grew up with me, drank and smoked - now in the zone, in poverty or in the grave. They all became squalids or convicts.
People became only those who worked on themselves, strived for learning and knowledge.

When I first saw an ad for the series 'Real Boys' I thought it was something on the level of 'House 2' but after watching a couple of episodes, I realized I was wrong. The series is actually very funny, lifelike, especially the first series were very funny. I would like to mention my favorite characters:
Kolyan is the main character of the series, an ordinary boy from the district, a probationary gopnik, who is always followed by an operator with a camera (and for all the characters of the series too), who is forced to check in every day at the precinct. In each series, Kolyan gets into some ridiculous situations, into all sorts of troubles, and, along with his ' friends ' gets out of them. And at the end of each episode, Kolyan philosophizes in front of the camera on a variety of topics.
Wovan is one of Kolyan's friends, a stupid, good-natured geek. One of the funniest characters of the series, his humor and actions pulls almost the entire series. A very good actor, and a good singer, as almost all the songs from the series he sings.
Antoha is Kohli’s second friend, cunning, greedy ' beetle' to throw someone like two fingers on asphalt. But nevertheless, the character is very interesting and comedic, he and Vovan do not spill the water, just two boots pair.
Lera is a former classmate of Kohli, who he really likes. Pretty, glamorous girl, daughter of a rich businessman and Perm authority Oborin Sergey Ivanych.
Masha is Kolyana's girlfriend, a stupid young lady, even a village cheap woman would say, as Kolyan himself said: ' Lera attracts me with its inaccessibility, and Masha with its accessibility.'
Valya is a friend of Masha, a well-fed, short girl, with an extremely aggressive character, a typical fighting woman. Well, the characters can be listed for a long time, it is better to immediately go to the most important.
As for humor, in this series it is in places really very funny, easy and quality. Of course, without vulgarity does not do in our time not one series, but here it is not so much.
It is impossible not to mention good music in the series, which is mainly sung, as mentioned earlier, by Vladimir Selivanov (Vovan). Actor's performance is at the top of most actors.
Well, the show has its downsides. For example, in almost every series, the characters swear, use alcohol and tobacco, sometimes the characters go overboard with the stupidity of their actions (Vovan, Bazanov). And what's worse, the new series of the series is already some not very funny, you feel that the plot is already sucked out of your fingers, but the old series are really very funny. So, in the first seasons, I would have put a solid 9, but since the last series was not very good, that's all. .
Features of national policy are not often the object of reflection in the Russian media space. From the latter comes to mind only “Election Day” from the theater “Quartet I”. And even more so, you do not expect interest in the political sphere from an exclusively entertainment channel, such as TNT. However, it was on this TV channel that the new season of the cult already series “Real Boys” recently started, in which the main character is running neither anywhere, but in deputies of the city Duma.
Kolyan is a simple Perm boy (evil tongues I will say “gopnik”), who by the will of fate and screenwriters of the series from a conditionally convicted person is requalified immediately into candidates. This fact alone says a lot about the specifics of the political process in the Russian province. Kolyan is a self-visitor, the local semi-criminal authority Ivanych wants to put him in the deputy chair, concurrently his former father-in-law, who himself is serving a prison sentence at this time. In general, family relations decide.
But how do you make a deputy out of a "gopnik"? This difficult task falls on the shoulders of Olesya Gennadyevna, whether PR or political strategist, who gained experience in Moscow, but was disappointed in the capital and is now determined to realize her ambitions in her native Perm. This is where the fun starts. Step by step, from series to series, Olesya Gennadyevna in various ways sculpts a celebrity of a district scale from her ward: fictitious polls are conducted so that the new name is heard; the district is littered with campaign leaflets; outdoor advertising is installed with a bright slogan “Promised!” Did it!; the candidate personally helps grandmothers repair toilets and even participates in the capture of drug dealers.
Kolyan has a political rival – his exact opposite, a respectable candidate with experience resembling a typical United Russia. There is a serious struggle between the candidates. Already at the finish line of the election race, Ivanych suddenly orders Kolyan to withdraw his candidacy: it turned out that he had to make only the appearance of competition for the main candidate, but unexpectedly liked the common people and began to really claim victory. However, Kolyan is obstinate and refuses to leave the campaign. At the final debate, Kolyan confesses in front of television cameras, exposing the machinations and tricks of his election campaign, but urging the people to vote for him anyway, a simple kid from the people. And the people believe Kolyan, choosing him as a deputy.
The series shows the viewer the power of political technologies that allow in a short time to make a seemingly hopeless candidate a real contender for victory. However, Kolyan’s respectable rival had a campaign staff consisting of professionals in his field. So politics is not just about technology. So people really decide something, and their choices can be unpredictable. This optimistic conclusion of the authors of the series should reassure viewers.
Every corner of the country has its real kids. . .
I'm a bit surprised by the reviews 'Shame on the nation! Who's watching this? What sucks?'
I think those who write this probably live in some other world or other country. Look around and you will see the same real boys, the same gopniks, cattle, uneducated people, single moms, minors, divorcees, etc. But this is the first series in which all this is shown with such accuracy and authenticity.
Yes, there are some minor shortcomings. First of all, this is the protracted and improbable season about Moscow. What kind of coincidence is it that more than 10 people from distant Perm found themselves in one place in such a huge Moscow? Yes, I am in my small town for 10 years, even former classmates I rarely meet.
In all 5 years of the series, I have never been bored. What’s interesting is that all the actors are very involved in the role. There are no bored faces like Nagiyev or Bezrukov, there are no permanent participants in projects with TNT like Kharlamov or Buzova. You really believe in every hero!
After watching even a few episodes, you want to start changing your life and not be like the characters of this series. After all, it is quite clear that all this is filmed with sarcasm and irony, and words like ' For the moral health of the nation' sound with mockery, with the desire to convey to the viewer that this is how our whole country lives and it is not at all as beautiful as it seems!
Yes, Gopniks who watch 'Real boys', will understand only the shell that the kid to be cool, cool and ' so awesome'.
But those who look deeper will understand the depth! It’s good to be a patriot, but it’s time to change things. And so through the prism of the joke, the authors are trying to convey to us what... our country is!

I remember very well how the premiere, the first episodes of the first season began on TNT 'Real Boys'. Then there was a semblance of something fresh. A native of Perm Nikolai Naumov, for friends just Kolyan, seemed an interesting character, which was fun to watch. . .
And this pseudo-reality shooting stunt, which accompanies Kolyan and his funny face-to-face with the audience, really made the project unusual. In the first season, there was definitely something. Every time the hero failed on the love front, he became hurtful and boyishly awkward. But in an instant, everything changed dramatically, the story of Cinderella ended pretty quickly. At the moment when Kolyan won the heart of the prosperous beauty Lera, thereby stepping from the mud into the princes. The series immediately lost its zest, lost its credibility, moving from purely boyish themes to the hustling of the hero with his beloved, and his fake skirmishes with friends-fools.
Having undergone this transition Kolyan to a better life, so to speak, from 'Real boys' literally knocked down a flurry of absurd situations, often somehow sucked out of a finger and constantly built on someone’s furious indignation. For each of the heroes it became the norm, almost not so screaming with his nasty Perm accent, about and without. And these stupid words - THIS, TIPO, And what, pronounced by them through each word, began to press on the nerves, so juicy that I sincerely want to find all these people and sit them down by the primer, learn Russian.
Keep moving! The so-called best kents of the hero are Wovan and Antoch. No word. Just not. As they say, emotions. It’s like Beavis and Butt Head, descended from the screens of the cartoon of the same name into the real world. So bad, completely devoid of the charm of Gopniks, still need to look. This duo is driving a stake into the heart of the project, so deep that it will never recover. As in one of the series, Kolyan himself stated, quote ': Your friends are your cross... and it is the duty of every self-respecting person to bear this cross. And in response to this truth, I want to say to him - 'Here and carry, but do not be surprised that they will lead you where they do not come back'.
Not limited to one season, the producers made a big mistake. Their initially good show, turned into a rough, goofy series, lost its spark, which at one time, he caught fire. With each new season, all the bright sides faded stronger and stronger, which eventually led to a total eclipse. And over time, even those once-good chants coming from 'Real Boys' smacked. So ended a short successful procession, this, as it turned out trifling project from the restless channel TNT.
Having run into the fables of Nikolai Naumov, Vovan and Anton today, I would turn off the TV in a hurry, which I would advise you to do. I simply cannot express in words how much I became irritated by the words of these heroes, their manner of disfiguring normal human speech. The same applies to the insolent faces of almost all the characters. With such 'faces', their place should be where Yevgeny Leonov spoke in the image of Associate Professor of the legendary ' Gentlemen of Good Luck' answering Ali-Baba why it was him, he took his bunk. At the same place, in general, should be all this serial gum.
Real Boys is a very rare phenomenon, when at first glance an ordinary series becomes the national pride of Perm and, for me, the whole of Russia.
For those of you who don’t know, this is really a Russian TV series that I find very interesting to watch. The film tells about the ordinary Russian life of an ordinary Russian boy in an ordinary Russian city who embarked on the path of correction - if he was soldered a suspended sentence, provided that he corrected himself and gave him an operator that he would be ' showed how a criminal becomes a law-abiding citizen' Kolyan agrees and meets his friends who throughout the sequel of the series will be 'mock ' and involve Kolya in murky topics.
Suddenly, as it was intended, an ordinary film about the correction of a gopnik becomes more than an interesting series.
Yes, it is more than real, most of the actors in the film are called the same as in life. The same actors comment on all events and actions as the reality assumes. But strange as it may seem, there is a dark side to the Russian Cinema - actors soon cease to perceive the camera as a camera. They used to hide everything from her, and now they shoot even the most criminal cases, which in principle should not be seen by the operator and the reality show turns into an ordinary pseudo-documentary. But despite this, this is the highest level for the Russian Cinema.
The feeling of waiting for a new series or season as a long-awaited holiday. You get distracted just to laugh, sometimes sad.
The series is full of events and full of humor that even a child understands. The soundtrack is excellent, acting at a height and all the same previously unknown actors have become stars of TNT.
The undisputed plus of the series is its Incomparable. I have never seen such a picture that reveals Russia and their residents not from the best side, but it does not worsen the series, and even improves it, the film can be watched with family and friends and even with a girl. Of course, it's better to understand the essence of the show when you're acting like a real kid. The series reveals the characters from their stiffness, to unsurpassed luck.
Russian cinema is like a black horse, no one takes it seriously, but it is worth waiting, and at some point this horse becomes a competitor to Hollywood films.
I’ve seen a lot of reviews and articles about the series, frankly, they were very different, but not one of them fully reveals its uniqueness and its coolness and humor even to the obscene well-known group AK-47 wrote a song for the series, which soon could be heard in the credits. Vovan's stupidity fills the picture with its lightness and humor.
In conclusion, real kids are something you can be really proud of. And this is the movie that you have to watch.
Having become almost a cult TV series “Real Boys”, I started watching late. The production of a famous TV channel, especially never seemed attractive to me. Reviews were heard diametrically opposite, from laudatory to negative-sarcastic. And yet I was wondering how the modern sloppy society will perceive the history of unpretentious guys outside the Moscow Ring Road.
The series involves a lot of former quinters, as well as actors of the Perm theater. The narrative is conducted through dialogues with the viewer, and the actual shooting of the simple, everyday life of Nikolai Naumov, the main character of our novel. Almost without getting behind bars for petty theft, Nicholas gets a unique chance to become a participant in a reality show (and with him and his whole family, friends and acquaintances), and at the same time re-educate, or at least make an attempt. Few people know, but the first series of the epic was shot on an amateur camera, almost without material means. But TNT saw great potential in the idea of the authors, and gave the project the green light.
Humor. How it is sometimes lacking in our musty, ordinary, sometimes hypocritical life. Humor is pure, without unnecessary subtext. Of course, everyone’s tastes are different, and it is quite difficult to please certain strata of the population. “Boys” take naturalness, in the heroes we recognize ourselves, albeit for a fraction of a moment sometimes. The topic and topical phenomena, whether it is uneducated mobile operators, or new-fangled and ubiquitous stores selling household appliances. Everything is like in life, and the whole series, about life, without embellishment. Fake friends, two-faced friends, stratification of society, relationships of convenience.
Actors try, play loose, of course, there is no playfulness, falsehood. Yes, by the standards of big cinema, perhaps not up to well-known samples, but here it is not necessary. You can mark many, but the viewer loved the colorful images of Vladimir Selivanov, Sergey Ivanovich, Lera, Mother Nikolai, and many others. Simple everyday stories: cornerstone - the transformation of yesterday's Gopnik into a husband and caring father of the daughter of a former bandit, as it is all familiar.
Of the minuses: All good things come to an end sooner or later. A sense of proportion is a good feeling, not given to everyone. The last season of the show goes beyond this, there is a noticeable lack of new ideas, the actors play worse than before, there is no delineated, strict storyline. I hope that the writers will correct themselves, otherwise you can lose your most loyal viewers.
Perm is a wonderful Ural city, stretched on two banks of the Kama River flowing into the Volga. On one bank there are museums, interesting events are held, there is a famous Tchaikovsky Opera and Ballet Theater, in which foreigners perform. On the other hand, what is shown in the series.
What am I saying? Because I'm getting tired of my hometown being shamed. All the time! I haven't heard any good news about Perm on TV. However, this is a review of the series, so I will tell you about it.
In the distant two thousand and tenth year on the TV channel TNT released the series 'Real boys'. All Perm buzzed about it, from the mouths of my classmates you could hear: '. What is it? There's Kolyan' and there was a description from which I turned my nose.
We'll be quiet and quiet. That's when I wanted to watch one episode of this 'Miracle'.
The screensaver pleased - squares, extreme park, my second school, near which the boys play football. But then my patriotism slipped a little. As I reached the end of the series, I turned off the TV and sighed. Why? Why is it so hard to show an already polluted city? It is better to shoot a series about his inside out - gopniks, with whom they are already tired of fighting.
Yes, there are. Yes, the writers showed them very well - they are, and we live. There are prostitutes who smoke near the cinemas, all of this is there. Well done studying the speech of these people, it seems. Pro ' Poking' not forgotten. Often you can find Mash and Val, staggering in the center. Everything is.
But it feels like shooting in the center of Perm is forbidden. As if the producers were allocated only Zakamsk, please remove it. Don't go over the bridge. Everything is cultural here, why do you need it?
So what am I saying? Our city is not full of cattle, it is not dangerous to come to us, the tram will not knock you down, and the mobile will not be squeezed.
6 out of 10
For the cast, 9 out of 10. 5 out of 10 for a speech. Average - 6.
If you like the work of TNTshnikov, then the series will definitely taste.
1. Many different dissimilar images: for example, Edik, Bazanov, Vovan, Kolya Naumov himself, Anton. These people are essentially from the same social environment (what in statistics is called the dry phrase ' persons with below-average income'), but they are strikingly different from each other. If Anton has some rotten essence in his soul (one situation with a stolen car is worth what), then Edik, despite his clumsiness in his actions, has conscientiousness. (for example, when he sincerely felt sorry for Val) Moreover, the evolution of characters is noticeable: even Vova (who is credited with being stupid and doing stupid things) in season 1 and Vova in season 4 are two big differences.
2. The first season is still interesting Kohli's fight for Lera's love, interesting, with unexpected victories Kohlyan and then again losses, then rematches, etc. - in general, absolutely ' not-Hollywood' and therefore very entertaining.
The main minus is that:
Some series with a very predictable plot (very often after a masterpiece series begins very boring, which you watch only from your favorite characters)
In general, the second time this series will look boring, but for the weekend or ' after work ' - quite good.

We don't go to London to study, we don't dress in a fashion boutique. .. Simple lives of ordinary people.
My subjective look at the series "Real boys."
I read reviews for this series and combed my hands to write a review (which does not pretend to be objective and to a deep understanding of the essence, meaning). Rather, my personal perception, nothing more. )
I love the series "Real Boys." I will say more, he is one of the favorites of the local, Russian spill. Why? Because it's funny. Because it's light. Because it "grounds," it is simple and good. At the same time, there is something to be sad about and think about. It is antidepressant. Because he's ours, Russian to the bone. Because I guess I understand the rather subtle irony of writers and directors. I understand that this is a form of "stick." And I don't understand why some viewers don't notice the obvious. Why are they looking for a claim to genius, to incredibly wise inferences and to some kind of elitism? Why? The question remains rhetorical.
Dear viewers! This is sad humor, a laugh at the realities of our lives. Yeah, yeah. Exactly, "sad" and precisely "our life." It is sad because it is shameful for many moments, for the life of our ordinary Russian families, for the general lack of culture. So sometimes you think, “Why don’t we have something like this somewhere?” Why don't we have two or three-story houses, basic etiquette, smiles and everything material and spiritual? And so sometimes it gets sad looking out the window at our Russian reality.
As many have already written, if you want to plunge into the cinematic elite, turn on Kubrick, Scorsese or Cronenberg and enjoy. I also like to watch the author’s films, some strange works of famous (or not quite) directors. Try to think about an idea, understand the essence, enjoy the beauty or be horrified by an exquisite look at something nasty and contradictory. In general, smart. Especially, it is pleasant in the company of the same “smart people” who consider themselves aces, versed in all the intricacies of world cinema. Why not? I don’t want to watch a movie like that every night. I’m much more interested in watching Real Boys in 20-40 minutes a day. And leave the "smart" movies on the sweet. To a special mood. At the moment when you want to plunge into something so unusual and far from our reality.
My favorite characters in the series are Aunt Marina, Armenka, Vovan and Ivanych. They are so organic, natural and immediate! Everyone has something to learn.
In Marina - that is not to be discouraged. You have to look at everything simpler and be bolder. Her expressive desire to stand up for her own.
At Armen - boundless kindness and mercy, calmness and unshakability, love. I have never seen a man capable of being so caring, loving and attentive to his woman, to everyone around him.
In Vovan - kindness, simplicity, that in any situation you need to look for pros. Some "holy" concepts that every person should have.
In Ivanych - his amazing humor, said with a calm face. His love for his daughter and ability to adapt.
Of course, Kolyan with a big heart, Mashka - feminine to the brain of the bones, despite all its "bazanov", Valya - bold and confident, Antoha - a funny red alpha-hop male, honest and peculiar Oznobikhin, incredible Bazanov, cunning Kolyan's father , Kolyan>> They're everywhere. In minibuses, in queues, in courtyards, in municipal institutions, in clubs, in shops - everywhere. Every character appears in our lives sooner or later. Maybe you and I are one of them, we just don’t notice it. I personally had several such Valek and Mashek in the class, and then in the group at the university. The boy trinity, consisting of Kolyan, Antoha and Vovan, are generally guys who meet at every step. Aunt Marina is my love. I even became calmer and more humorous about this kind of women after her. Here is only where to find people like Armenka? I have never met such kind and loving men.
In general, this is our life, especially if you live somewhere outside the center of Moscow (yes, I think there are enough of them in the center, after all, the Russian mentality is deep in all of us). It is the right of each of us to see it or not. It is quite possible that for some people this series causes no more than bliss.
Of course, children clearly should not watch this series, it will not teach good (but it does not have such a goal initially, if anything). But people with a formed opinion , with a sense of humor and a sense of irony, sarcasm even in some places, with the presence of SAMOIRONY look very much. You should like it.
As Kant said, “One looks into the puddle and sees the mud, the other sees the reflected stars.” Look to the root, gentlemen! And don't cling to the word "*opa," prudishly waving white handles. I understand that not everyone is given to see the beautiful in the ordinary, but it is possible to recognize the elementary "good irony" over such layers of society.
And yet, as the incomparable Faina Ranevskaya said: Under the most beautiful peacock tail lies the most ordinary chicken *opa. So less pathos, gentlemen.

For always pulling me out of my depression and gently putting me on the ground, showing me the prosaic nature of life (in a good way).
Of course, I know the politics of TNT - entertainment in any form, and it does not matter whether it makes sense. Real kids are a great demonstration of this.
The screensaver of the series contains the phrase ' for the moral health of the nation'. To health? Sometimes, when I look at what’s going on in the series, I get the opposite opinion. What about the children who watch everything and who can be told the phrase ' from the TV screens; go to (a famous place, but what was said there without censorship)'? What culture and normal development and communication can we talk about? What happens on screens leaves a certain imprint on the audience. And thanks to this series, I doubt this print is positive.
About the characters who are present in the series can not talk at all. Sometimes it seems that they all suffer from mental retardation. The genre of the series ' comedy' but there is no comedy there. Jokes? What is this? They're not in this series. And any situations that, as it would seem, should be funny, look so ridiculous and stupid that you can hurt your palm, closing your review on this ' miracle' Russian television.
The picture turned out to be extremely good! Especially with most tintash sitcoms. True connoisseurs of such artistic works as Beavis and Bathead, Peep Show with a high degree of probability will not remain indifferent!
In addition to the presence of really humorous dialogues, which incandescent rust at some moments break almost to tears, the series is extremely reliable shows the complexity of human relationships. Which in turn suggests the indisputable talent of the director Zhanna Kadnikova, unjustly left in the shadow of the “star pedestal”. The undisguised professionalism of the screenwriters here is just as difficult to ignore, although this caste of bees of workaholics, or rather, “the creators of the plot”, as a rule, is doomed to vegetate in the raw mines of “Olympus of Glory”, providing it with the necessary resources, unless it is Mr. Tarantino, who decisively did not resign himself to his script fate.
“Real boys” is certainly different from other Russian TV series of this format. Only the battering duet of mother Kolyan and Oborin will charge positive emotions and cause laughter even in the most monotonous aesthetes of “high art”. The extreme naturalism of the collapsing Khrushchev apartments, the picturesque landscapes from the waste-filled dumps appeared like a breath of fresh air against the background of the exorbitant self-admiration of mediocre directors. There are articles about “straight roads”, where the most ordinary people live in modest palaces of ala baroque, and at the same time are so adored by their faithful servants, ready at any moment to die for their employer. No, in the “boys” also shows the life of “worthy of this world”, but here, which is fundamentally important, there is a social fusion of both, which causes a wildly funny and funny contrast.
In general, the series, and this despite the seemingly deep shell of the title, focuses on acute social problems between simple plebeian boys and overgrown majors (and I must say, not only). The presence of internal monologues of the characters, revealing their thoughts and motivation of actions is the calling card of the project. Yes, I almost forgot, the lack of raging laughter in the background over stupid pricks, unfunny jokes, and in general any jokes, is simply unspeakable!
All this emphasizes the immediacy of this creation and is worth seeing and even reviewing.
As soon as this series began to advertise, I got the impression that TNT will not work, but I was wrong. TNT is just great for making this series.
Plot: The plot tells about the Perm boy Kolyana, who embarked on the path of correction. He and his friends Antoha and Vovan find themselves in different life situations and at the same time live their normal life. TNT is just good that came up with such an original idea, to make the series as a parody on a reality show, agree it is any better than Dom-2.
Actors and Heroes: The cast is just something. I liked everyone who was in this group. Here are some actors and their heroes.
Kolyan (Nikolai Naumov) – perfectly coped with the role of the main character, who falls into various life situations.
Antoha (Anton Bogdanov) - he doesn't need anything but money and girls, so to speak.
Vova (Vladimir Selivanov) is a phenomenon. This is probably the funniest character in the series. His stupidity cannot but cause laughter. He's kind of, you might say, "blessed."
Bottom line: TNT made a good series that teaches you to get out of unpleasant situations, even when the way out, you can say no.

At first, I liked the idea of making a series about fixing a person, about how they become part of a normal, law-abiding society. And I must say the series for some time moved along this vector, but then the creators completely forgot about the original purpose.
After the essence of the series was lost, one personally unpleasant feature opened up for me - I realized what the creators of the series began to emphasize. I am talking about the semi-criminal aesthetic, with its language and traditions, which is so widespread in Russia.
For me, the series ceased to make sense, and I began to perceive it as a daily collection of funny stories for real boys.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the show is catastrophically not funny or stupid. I just believe that a movie or a TV show should make sense, not just fill the airwaves and almost entirely consist of stereotypes and humor aimed at a certain group of people.
So, the central line of the story is just a Perm boy Kolyan, who was taken on the theft of hatches and offered a choice - prison or participation in a reality show about how the former criminal embarked on the path of correction. And now the operator always goes for Kolya and filmes his life.
Kohli has a girlfriend, Mashka. The machine works as a giant plush pill – a pharmacy advertisement – and distributes a flyer. Kolyan also has friends - Antokh and Vovan, who work in a car service, muddle with stolen cars, but since now their life has got into the lens of a video camera, they decide to correct themselves together with Kolyan. Antoja is a cheerful womanizer who runs after every skirt and is ready to do anything for women. Vovan is a kind-hearted man of a small mind who constantly creates problems for his friends.
Why start a new life? From a career change. And now Kolyan gets a job in the salon of cellular communication under the guidance of metrosexual Edik. Everything was getting better, until one day the former neighbor Koli Lera came to the salon, the daughter of the Perm authority Sergey Ivanovich Oborin, in which Kolya was once in love. And this meeting turned Colin’s life around...
In general, the structure before us is a regular sitcom in the format of reality. He also enjoys a whole series of enchanting characters. Colin Dad is in jail and we won’t see him in season one. Colina’s mother works in the dining room and lives with a certain Armen, who sells shoes in the market. Mashka has a friend Valya, a girl of dense build absolutely without complexes, which, if necessary, does not hesitate to conquer men by force. Every day Kolyan should celebrate with his district Oznobikhin, who loves to lecture on a variety of topics. Oznobikhin has an assistant, Alexei Bazanov, who studied with Kolya in the same school and is in love with a local prostitute Nastya Ivanchuk. Of course, there are a lot of stories happening with them all the time.
Not so long ago, I noticed that for the creators of the series, the main thing is not even the actors and not the plot, but to create characters that will become native to the viewer and the audience will begin to worry about them. And the creators of “Real Boys” managed it with brilliance – by the end of the second season, I already took the problems of the characters as my own. This is logically explained – for all my love for Tony Soprano, it is much easier to empathize with a simple Permian Gopnik than a millionaire mafia from New Jersey. Interestingly, almost all the characters bear the names of the actors who play them – that is, Nikolai Naumov is played by Nikolai Naumov, Anton Bogdanov – Anton Bogdanov, etc. Of the top characters of the series, native names are not only Lera and Edik. And the explanation is simple.
Initially, I thought the project was born in the head of TNT producers who like to find former KVN employees and make them stars. It turned out the opposite. It was Nikolai Naumov, together with his friends, who shot the pilot of the series (which we were shown in its original form) and sent him to Moscow. And really, why not fantasize? We are shown the real life of the below-average class. It is also useful to watch people who forget that the average salary in our country is 2000, and most people live in “Khrushchovka” with a red carpet on the wall and a set in the form of fish.
It is possible that my point of view regarding the idea of the series will seem to someone wrong or far-fetched, but the series really has educational goals.
In the first episode, we see an ordinary guy from the neighborhood who steals hatches, spends all his time with friends, does not think about the future and lives in the present. As usual, there are dozens or even hundreds of such “real guys” in each city. But, with the development of the plot, you can observe how his character begins to change, strive for the better, make plans for the future life - a girl, a family, a child, he enters the university, tries to earn money to support the family.
Family values.
They are shown here on the example of different families:
Antoha’s mother doesn’t care about him and his younger brother, but despite this, Anton appreciates that he has a brother to whom he can give more love and care than he received himself in his entire life.
In Kolyan, the mother pulls the strap all her life, tries to feed and raise her son, because of this, she is somewhat angry, swears at him, but at the same time she worries about her ex-husband (purely human), despite the fact that he stole her. Kolyan also does not care that he has not seen his father for half his life - the main thing is that he is his own father.
The main idea of this storyline is that it does not matter what your parents are, what you are, they are the only people who love you and will accept you in any situation, loyally, free of charge and sincerely.
Friendship.
Who doesn’t have or hasn’t had “joint” friends who attract trouble like a magnet? But true friendship, such as in the series, encourages you to accept your friends, understand their joints and stand behind each other as a wall, even in times of quarrels and resentments.
All these characters are alive, real, sincere, they have a place in real life and, in my opinion, they show how to grow morally and socially.
I have to admit that I only watched the series recently. Earlier, when I saw an advertisement on TNT I thought: "Here, another dull TV series from TNT about some gopniks ... " But, by the will of fate, I watched a few episodes, and, as they say, went.
Many scold "Real boys" for what they say, here is "a series about cattle, and we are so straight, intellectuals, all this is alien to us"... Strange people. This series he does not pretend to be serious enough to scold him.
"Real boys" is, in a way, a parody of the reality show, which is already boring. Yes, the main characters, “gopniks” and “bad”, if you can say so, but these same “gopniks” for some reason, personally for me, do not cause any disgust, like those who squat in the yards.
Also, it is gratifying that the series is exclusively Russian, i.e. there are no analogues abroad, no one has anything licked, because the mentality of this series is not the same. The characters of the series are ordinary people living in the province.
There are no Moscow pathos here, and even the acting is much better than in 99.9% of TV series created on TNT.
In general, the actors in "Real Boys" is a separate conversation. It's simple here. In fact, almost every actor plays himself, and if there are actors who work in a certain role, they do it, happily, very believable. What is Bazanov worth, who has become my favorite character.
There was, for example, the TV series "Barvikha", where they showed far from Gopniks, but the children of all sorts of millionaires, deputies, oligarchs. Frankly speaking, everything from the script to the actors was disgusting. No credit!
Now they made a series about simple, like three pennies, people , about what situations they get into, how they live their lives, how they communicate, filmed everything very reliably, filmed so that it all looks easy and really funny. Test!
In general, "Real boys" are not as terrible as they are scolded by people who have seen ads, read the description, etc. Quite the opposite. Everything that happens on the screen causes a really smile and laughter. "Real boys" is a banter on reality TV and over stereotypes that are formed about Gopniks and residents of the province.
My subjective assessment of the series
Perm - a city in the east of the European part of Russia, in the foothills of the Urals and it is there that the events of the life series "Real boys" take place.
To be honest, I do not really admire Russian cinema in general, but it is our series that I love very much, which is only worth "Matchmakers"! But not about them now.
"Real boys" - a very positive humorous series about the life of the protagonist and just a real boy Kolyan Naumov.
Koli’s life is rich and full of many surprises. What only the guy did not go through to meet his only and most that no one can eat true love. And Nicholas's love is called Lera Oborin, who later became Naumova, but the path to the wedding was inconceivably long. On the way was the father of Lera Sergey Ivanovich, who all the time did not give the guy to relax, hinting that he could not achieve anything in life himself and constantly “molesting”. Kolya throughout the series tries to correct and become independent in the eyes of his wife and Ivanych.
In general, Koli has a lot of assistants and each in its own way is very important, without any of them, the whole series would not be so emotionally colored.
Antoha and Wovan - 2 of Kohli's closest friends, with whom he was sentenced to probation. The guys decide to take the path of correction and begin to work in the car service, and later in the 4th season together contain a cafe in the area.
Edik - a friend of Kohli, with whom he once worked in the salon of cellular communication. Edik often hears ridicule about his orientation, but it was he who managed to marry a girl Vale, and after a short period of time began to date Masha, Kohli's former girlfriend. Oh, well, the triangle came out, even more like a quadrangle.
In season 4, Edik lives with Masha and works as a taxi dispatcher.
Marina Naumova - Koli's mother, hopes for the correction of her son, often throws him not the best ideas, and helps him get out of them.
Alexander Naumov - Koli's father, the former husband of Marina Naumova, by his appearance after prison gives the heroes a lot of problems, after which he still decides to go to a monastery.
Armenka — in my opinion, one of the most positive characters of the series Real boys, the cohabitant of Koli's mother, who in the 4th season officially received a divorce, makes Aunt Marina an offer ...
Igor Sergeyevich Oznobikhin Senior Lieutenant and Junior Lieutenant Alexey Bazanov - district and district assistant, periodically tried to invent crimes Kole and his friends in order to prevent, putting many obstacles in his way, but still are very positive characters.
Also in the series there were such characters as: prostitute Nastya Ivanchuk, wife Bazanov, prostitute Elena Seliverstova, friend Ivanchuk. Olesia and Vic are Lera's friends. Dmitry Naumov (Dimasik), Koli's second cousin, who very much framed his brother. Moscow "major" Boris, who brought a lot of problems to Ivanych.
And finally, in my opinion, the main character of the series is little Misha Naumov, the son of Lera and Kohli, the greatest pride of Kohli, for which he will perform more and more feats in season 4!
All the events taking place on the screen are very close to reality, this is the very real life, without any spraying and powdering!
And the Permian saying, let me not eat bread, let me cuddle and talk with their accent!
All this is accompanied by music from the 90s, namely "Hands Up" and "Bachelor party". How can you not like this series? How is that?
A new season has started on September 27th and I am very happy about this! I'm looking forward to another series.
Honestly, I am not a master in such cases, but I want to leave my small, but still review. When I watched an ad for 'boys' or heard some phrases from the corner of my ear when my husband watched the series, I could only wonder - how can you watch this and even like it? But, after a long persuasion of her husband, I decided to watch a couple of episodes and got hooked. I didn’t expect the guys to be able to convey so wonderfully how people sometimes live. Yes, in the series it is shown in an exaggerated format, but because of this, because of such isolation of these seemingly mundane and everyday moments, the series has its charm. My special charm. At least Kolyan's mom. Well, I ask, where are these ' Babies' there are? All the time. She behaves exactly as she should - a simple working aunt with a secondary education. All her worries: son, cohabitant, household... Or take glamorous girls. They are shown as they are most often - empty, brainless dolls. Their ' highly intelligent' conversations give a complete picture of their inner content, or rather of its complete absence.
The series, as I said, exaggerates the reality of real life & #39; but that’s why you can laugh at it, and sometimes at yourself. Yes, I sometimes recognized myself in some scenes. And it gave me a reason to change something in myself, so as not to look so comical later in real life.
Well, in general terms, I just want to thank the creators for such well-thought-out tandems as:
Kolyan - Lera: opposites attract, this is the law of life
Wovan - Anton: without this pair, the series would lose half of its appeal
Valya - Edik: this is the union of sado-maso in all its glory!
In general, the series bribed me with images of heroes and its language. Maybe I’m not quite mentally healthy, but sometimes I like to listen to blonde speech and look at the blonde life so that I can relax and ... scoff.
