For Reno 911 fans who believe that Comedy Central's improv-driven mock-reality series could benefit from more unbleeped profanity, uncensored sex scenes, and nudity, the feature-length R-rated Miami will be just the ticket. Perhaps less a movie than it is a Very Special Episode, Miami transplants short-shorts-bedecked Lt. Dangle (Thomas Lennon) and company to Miami for the American Police Convention ("They invited everybody"). No sooner can you say "bio-terrorism" than the hotel is quarantined, and Wahoe County's hapless misfits, shut out when their credentials can't be found, must step in and save the city from "complete chaos." Complete chaos ensues. As with the series, Miami unfolds in a series of hit and miss bits. The funniest are those that hew closest to the Cops template, such as an early "814" call that does not, as the officers believe, decode as armed intruder, but actually involves a loose chicken, and an encounter with a taunting good ol' boy who, when faced with an alligator in a swimming pool, boldly goes where officers Jones (Cedric Yarbrough) and Garcia (Carlos Alazraqui) fear to tread. Happily, as was not the case with Borat, no innocent or unsuspecting citizens were emotionally harmed during the making of this movie. All of the jokes and humiliations are at the Reno squad's expense. Miami benefits from some subtle (and not so subtle) stunt casting, including Patton Oswalt (The King of Queens) in a small but pivotal role as the deputy assistant mayor, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's hilarious, albeit short-lived cameo as a gung-ho bomb squad leader. It is a tribute to the crack ensemble that Reno's intimately etched characters do not need much of an introduction, and can be appreciated by those who have not seen the show. But longtime viewers are issued this warning that Miami crosses with even more impunity the thin blue line of good taste. A Rear Window homage in which we view each officer indulging in some alone time in their fleabag motel rooms may not be as bad as Borat's wrestling match, but really, there ought to be a law! --Donald Liebenson Reno 911!: Miami Extras

 Good movie. October 18, 2008
The first Reno 911 movie, and I found it entertaining and funny. Not as funny as the episodes on TV but still gave me a few laughs.

...I love the show. A 30 minute helping of this kind of humor is great.
...but...
IT DOES NOT TRANSLATE TO THE BIG SCREEN!
At least it wasn't one very well...
There were a few laughs, but like so many movies in this day and age, they were in the trailer...
I was VERY disappointed when I saw this movie.
I bought it before I had seen it.
Big mistake.
Big disappointment.

This movie is not for everyone. The jokes are base, there is a good bit of slapstick, and if these folks really were cops, then we'd all be in a whole lot of trouble. But through it all, the characters really are charming, except for Trudy who is always disturbing.
The Reno sheriff's department is invited to a police convention in Miami. By a twist of fate, they become the only police available to cover the city. This is their story. It is a story fraught with Jell-o wrestling, mystery tattoos, exploding whales, topless beaches, and an Al Pacino wannabe. Cameos include Danny DeVito, The Rock, and Paul "Pee Wee" Herman.
I am familiar with the TV series but I watched the movie in the company of those who were not. We all laughed and often at the same time. But I also know people who have watched the TV series and are "not amused." The movie is everything the series is plus sex and explicit language. But as I said, it is able to maintain its charm and humanity.
Oh, and it made me laugh way harder than did No Country for Old Men and that counts for a lot in my book.
 This movie is just right for the small screen June 15, 2008
I missed this at the movies, I probably would have been disappointed seeing it on the big screen.
The movie is just like the show, except with a bigger budget and different location. So, just like the show, some scenes are hits and some scenes are flops... but either way you don't have to wait long for the next scene.
The movie came along at a time when the show was beginning to get stale. The different location freshens things up a bit, but as said previously this works better on the small screen (like an extended TV episode), it doesn't have the punch for the big screen.
The special features are good, including several commentaries (most in character).
A well done move to the big screen April 17, 2008

Comedy Central's Cops-spoofing improv fest that is Reno 911 makes the move to the big screen with mostly good, and uncensored, results. Lt. Dangle (Thomas Lennon) and his crew of inept police officers make a trip to sunny Miami to participate in a big get together for law enforcement all over the country, only to find themselves on the outside looking in. After a bio-terrorism scare, Dangle and co. find themselves as the only cops around, and end up patroling the streets of Miami. As you can already guess, or know from watching the series, Miami is in some serious trouble as it is. While the film seems to be more of a mish-mash combination of skits, it works as what it is, with some off the wall hilarity that ensues among the chaos. Most memorable is definitely the multi-hotel room look at all the officers getting some "alone" time, which is just too funny for words. With cameos from show regulars Nick Swardson, Paul Reubens, and Paul Rudd; along with a very funny and short cameo from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Reno 911: Miami ends up being a pretty funny move to the big screen that while not perfect, succeeds as what it is.
