Reno 911!: Miami (2007)

What a waste of my time!!!

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Am I Missing Something?

The first must-see film of the year.

I am offended that this movie doesn't have 10 stars. Absolutely the funniest movie I've ever seen and a true favorite

Reno 911: Miami (2007): Dir: Robert Ben Garant / Cast: Robert Ben Garant, Carlos Alazraqui, Mary Birdsong, Thomas Lennon Kerri Kenney-Silver: Hilarious cop comedy about work and play and how some folks manage to interchange both. A group of Reno cops are invited to the Miami police convention only to learn that the building is contaminated with every cop inside save for them. That leaves them to patrol the streets and get involved in all sorts of weird situations involving repeat abductions, mysterious tattoos, and dead whales. Although lewd it is funny particularly in the carefree personalities given the characters. Directed by Robert Ben Garant who has terrific comic timing that may remind viewers of Police Academy. He also stars himself within a hilarious dream sequence. He is also involved in a great scene involving a beached whale where dynamite is used to terminate the remains. Among the recruits is Carlos Alazraqui who ends up taking part in a long night of self pleasure duplicated by everyone else in the hotel. Mary Birdsong plays the female recruit who seems oblivious to the hormonal males about while giving off her own brand of attitude. Thomas Lennon plays the Lieutenant whose methods are laid back and lazy. Everyone is hilarious in that Police Academy sort of way and the result is pointless entertainment that makes work look fun. Score: 9 / 10

send-up of popular TV-reality show COPS - Reno 911 is a cult hit series on cable and now adapted into full motion picture.Set in (where else but) Reno, Nevada, the bumbling law enforcers are 'invited' to national police convention in Miami Beach; inadvertently becomes the only cops available to patrol the city after a bio-terrorism attack results in local police quarantined in the convention hotel.The Miami town will never be the same again with these incompetents running the show.Entertaining mockumentary is short on subtlety but high on farce.Wonderful comic montage in the seedy motel parodies Hitchcock's' Rear Window. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in a funny cameo and Paul Rudd takes a leaf from Al Pacino's Scarface as Ethan the Drug Lord.

Okay, I've watched the series / sitcom on and off over the years and usually found it more or less light hearted and at least enjoyable, so I thought the movie would be at least the same, and hopefully a notch up from the TV show. However, I did have a hunch it wasn't worth theater prices so I waited for it to come out on video. Anyway, I rented this movie for $1 and feel I was horribly ripped off. I found this movie so offensively horrible that now I don't think I will be able to watch the sitcom any longer (which is a shame because I kind of enjoyed it). The writing is so base and purely unfunny that even on their best days the actors could not have made it into something humorous. As a last hope I thought there might be outtakes, bloopers, something, ANYTHING on the extras that might have salvaged this movie, but no luck. There was at least a scene with the director which shed light on why this movie was so poor.
