    This is not high art. It might not qualify as low art. But it is 90 minutes or so during which people can put their brains on the shelf and enjoy a few laughs.

    Often mildly amusing but rarely laugh-out-loud funny, the film works best in scenes with a distinct Miami flavor.
  3. The filmmakers assume familiarity with the show's documentary premise and in-jokes (e.g., deputy Garant giving all his commands in French), which will make the movie even less accessible to novices.

    LOVED IT!!!! It is not supposed to be fine art or oscar material. It is supposed to make you laugh outloud at how inept the deputies and Dangle are. Hilarious brainless entertainment. :) Expand

    On the big screen, "Reno 911" obviously resembles the "Police Academy" franchise more than it does the reality show "Cops". Although none of the actors or situations transcend our talking furniture, this ensemble group has some chemistry and is capable of being sporadically funny; in particular, Deputy Trudy Wiegel's blind spot in regards to Lieutenant Jim Dangle's orientation. Their almost-encounter leads to a somewhat amusing spoof on body doubles(this scene works in concert with the opening grandiose sequence as a juxtaposition between film and television; during the apparent consumation, the film turns more cinematic). The film has wit; some self-reflexivity. It reminds you that you're watching Comedy Central with a group of strangers. But luckily, "Reno 911: Miami" is relatively painless; sort of like watching television. Is it worth paying eleven bucks for? Sure, like I said; it's a painless, not a painful comedy. Paying for basic cable at the cineplex is a lot better than having to live through another "Soul Plane". Expand

    Was surprised at just how uninspired this movie is... really just an overly long but average episode of the TV series. The TV show is mildly amusing but this does not take it to another level at all, except 3 times the mediocre-ness. Pretty pointless, I'm disappointed. Surprised that they even bothered to release this in theatres. Expand
