Comedy Central's cult-favorite COPS-spoof series, RENO 911! comes to the big screen with RENO 911!: MIAMI. The film follows members of the Reno P.D. as they desert the bright flashing lights of the biggest little city in the world for sand and surf and an invitation to the annual police officers' convention. It will come as no surprise to regular RENO-watchers that the incompetent police force--led by the earnest, hot-pants-wearing Lt. Jim Dangle (Thomas Lennon)--hit an administrative snag, and aren't allowed into the convention. But the crew decides to make the most of their multi-hour bus trip to Florida, until an emergency call to duty cuts their impromptu vacation short: they are expected to keep the peace in Miami while the rest of the nation's police forces are quarantined due to a biochemical warfare attack on the convention center. Finding themselves way out of their league in a high-tech police station and Mustang patrol cars, the Reno cops ineptly stumble through Miami, leaving destruction and hilarity in their wake. Although the RENO 911! police-farce schtick is often compared to the screwball comedy of the POLICE ACADEMY franchise, the improvisational comedic talent of its troupe sets it apart. Actors Kerri Kenney-Silver (as the unstable Deputy Trudy Wiegel) and Robert Ben Garant (as the loose-cannon Deputy Travis Junior) affectionately delve into the wildly stereotypical characters they portray, while also adding doses of humility that invoke a natural desire to root for them. RENO 911!: MIAMI allows the perpetual underdogs to really shine, providing a positive, warm message as an undertone to the over-the-top zany comedic antics. [More]

This is Reno as it should be done for the big screen: bigger, wetter, fouler and even funnier.

It's mindless, stupid fun%u2026 and it works. The successful formula? It's short, sharp and never takes itself too seriously

There are some laughs here and there, but with some very long gaps in between.

Patchy, but occasionally hilarious comedy, enlivened by likeable characters and a commendably high gag rate, even if they don't always work.

David Jenkins

A verité riff on the ‘Police Academy’ series is the idea behind cult US sitcom ‘Reno 911!’, which, here, is stretched to breaking point for this puerile punt at cinematic glory.

The performers bring enough spirit that the idiocy oversteps malice and manages to be funny about half the time.

The change of scenery hasn't worked any wonders for this goofy, grossout Nevada law enforcement gang, to say the least.

Uri Lessing

..the plot stops parodying 'Cops' in favor of general lunacy. The "R" rating allows the humor to get a bit cruder, but gratuitous nudity and sexuality don't really offer anything new.
