Reno 911!: Miami (DVD, 2007, Unrated)

I thought this movie was going to be a little bit more funny. Now it did have funny scenes but it wasnt halarious. Honestly i would recommend to go out and rent it rather than buying it.

If you like the show, you'll certainly like this movie. While it suffers from the usual bloat of a TV series turned into a movie, there are some absolutely priceless moments. If you can't get enough Reno 911! then this is the DVD for you. If you're introducing a new intiate, they might enjoy the first 30 minutes, but get a little restless as the "plot" stretches out a bit.

Still, a funny movie with some great guest stars too!

I purchased this item because the commercials depicted the movie as more than hilarious. Although the movie was definitely funny, the commercials definitely picked the most amusing scenes to promote it. I would definitely recommend it to someone.

"Reno 911!: Miami" (UNRATED) unfolds in fits and starts, with the unstoppable forward momentum of 'Reno's' finest, Lt. Jim Dangle, the "Law Enforcement Cheetah" in hot pants.
"Reno 911: Miami! (UNRATED) brings the monumentally inept cops from the Comedy Central series 'Reno 911' to the big screen with scattershot results. Raunchier and funnier, "Reno 911: Miami" has way more honest-to-goodness laughs to make it a hysterical fun-bloated watch.
The filmmakers' comic inspiration keeps the film from ever running dry; taking pot-shots at American Classics and Other Films, like 'Scarface', 'Mr & Mrs Smith' (receiving a domestic disturbance call for Brad & Angelina's boat - where they arrive asking for "Mr & Mrs Smith"?) and many others you'll recognize !! Long before Lt. Dangle (Thomas Lennon) and his fellow Officers wrap up their extended stay in Miami, or what's left of the City in the wake of their visit, the laughs have brought full-rupturing tears to us when you "Could Use That Good Laugh".
Directed and Co-Written by Robert Ben Garant, who plays the borderline retarded Deputy Travis Junior, "Reno 911: Miami" uses the flimsiest of narratives as a pretext for barraging the audience with gags that hit their mark hard.
While attending a National Police Convention in Miami, 'Reno's' Finest must 'Protect and Serve the Entire City after the convention center is quarantined, following a biological terrorist attack. While the diminutive Deputy Mayor (Patton Oswalt) grows increasingly apoplectic, Dangle and company patrol the city and its fabled beaches — when they're not lost, getting drunk and tattooed, or blowing up beached whales.
Running afoul of everyone from Rap Impresario Suge Knight; to a Scarface Wannabe (Paul Rudd) threatening them with a weed-whacker, Dangle and his team soldier on, impervious to disaster, harsh criticism, and thought.
Featuring cameos by Danny DeVito and The Rock, "Reno 911: Miami" is a smart blend of satire and slapstick; with ingenious ties to the long-running phenomina interest in the TV Series "COPS".
Co-Writer/Star Lennon provides the biggest laughs with his amusing turn as the sexually ambivalent Dangle, whose off-duty attire of scarily snug jeans cut-offs and pink bandana suggest an unholy blend of 'Fire Island' and 'Olivia Newton John' in her "Physical" video.
"Reno 911: Miami" comes across as a slightly smarter update of the 'Police Academy' films, shot resembling "COPS" dating and displaying calls on screen and shot in "reality-cam" style at many times.
No, this movie is "NOT" going to win Academy Awards.... but it's not meant to. If you are just looking for a "Get-Off-The-World" good fun laughfest, then you have found the spot. This is your film !!!!

....And I say so with a heavy heart, because I WANTED to love it....I REALLY did. I anticipated the release of this film like a kid at Christmas.Being unable to attend an invitation to a (MONTHS IN ADVANCE) screening, plus hearing the word on the street about how HILARIOUS this film was going to be just made the wait that much more unbearable!

I must confess at first, when the show Reno911! was new I gave it about half an episode before deciding that this was a really dumb show and that I didn't like it(the show seemed to me like watching a cross between "COPS" and "America's stupidest....er...I mean 'funniest' home videos").When the show opened it's season 4 premiere, and hearing about how others love it so much, I figured there's GOT to be something to the show so I gave it a fair chance. I realized the stupidity is just part of the show's(and the character's)charm and over time I've really become wild over Reno!!

I was shocked to hear that there's no script on the show!That much of the dialogue btwn. the characters is pure improvisation!!That lent me a much deeper appreciation for the sharp wits,impeccable comedic timing and SPONTANIETY these capable actors have!!And the synergy between the actors! They all appear to work with each other so well, like a well-oiled machine (however a wacky contraption that might happen to be *LOL*)

....Unfortunately, it didn't carry very well into the movie.Much of the elements that make Reno SO AWESOME are visible in small traces in this film. Like watering down a fantastic tasting juice and slapping a fancier label on it.Any spontaniety(which is the cornerstone of the show IMO)in the movie was undetectable.Much of the humor seemed forced (could it BE they had a SCRIPT to stick to??).A number of the jokes were predictable and others only got a chuckle out of me(I WANTED to laugh hard.I DID!)Funny, but not all-out hilarious like I was hoping.


So all in all, if you expect it to be as funny as the show, you're in for a bit of a letdown. If you REALLY want to see a bust-up funny cop movie, I suggest "Hot Fuzz" INSTEAD!I really feel that "Hot Fuzz" is what "Reno 911 Miami" TRIED to be like humorwise (except for the ending. That was kind of lame).


But,if you're crazy about Reno(like I am)buy it anyway (like I AM *LOL*) or at least rent it. What's more, if you're a straight guy: this film has it's share of bouncing boobs, one advantage "Hot Fuzz" doesn't have(Unless you consider Nick Frost's chest boobs *LMAO*).I for one prefer to see Lieutenant Dangle wear those hot short shorts. Oooh yeah! He can frisk me ANYTIME!*wink*

RENO 911!!!

Comes to the big screen!!!! The film follows the 8 members of the Reno Sheriff's department to Miami. The 8 get an invitation to the annual police officers’ convention something they been wanting to be apart of for awhile.
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 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.

Not for the Kids

As a Reno 911 watcher I enjoyed the movie but I could see how a new watcher might have a hard time watching and understanding it.
Watch a few shows on T.V. and if you like them them get the movie !!!!

The Sheriff's department in Reno have done it again! They are simply hilarious. And the Extra deleted scenes were great. The plot is really stupid, but that adds to the humor. I give it a 9/10 and definitly recommend that you see it.

Didn't live up to our expectations...maybe even a cut below the regular episodes. For die-hard fans, worth viewing; for others you probably can save your money and skip it. Had its moments but really expected more.

Fast delivery, great price, very satisfied. ALways wanted the movie for my collection, and its a great addition.

I like the dvd because of how hillarious it is. Super funny and enjoyable for everyone! I am super satisfied with the item and would like to continue buying dvds like this one.

Watching this was funny , very funny. I enjoy Comedy Central to the fullest extent, and this was no acception.

this is one of my favorite movies it is so funny. Jim Dangle is the best cop ever, all the cops are funny. This movie is just all around awesome

I thought this movie would be better but I was wrong, I'm not for the adult scenes so if I knew adult stuff would of been in the movie, I wouldn't of purchased it, I like movies that my kids can watch with me

hilarious film, alot like the tv show, kept me laughing the whole time id recommend it anyday to anyone

I love this movie cause it has so much humor and just stuff that you would find in a disfuntional police force, just the funniest ive ever seen reno 911 ever and ive seen every episode and this movie takes the cake! Awesome movie glad i bought it!!

This movie is full of laughs and hilarious moments. If you are a fan of the show or other comedy movies I would definitely recommend this movie.

I bought this movie not even a week ago and i already have it. Fast shipping and the movie was still in the plastic wrapping! thanks lots.

a a a a a a a a

I Love This Movie And Was Glad To Find It At A Reasonable Price on ebay, cant wait to recive my product and watch the movie.

These people are excellent. They think they're professionals, but they are sooo stupid! Alot of dry humor and stunts.

very funny dvd!
great! price.
highly recommended!
And i really like watching this movie. It has very great, and clear images. ANd very great sound too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

A must-see for fans of Reno 911 but I would rather watch the television episodes instead. This is a case of taking a minor plot and stretching it into a full-length movie. If you have a DVD collection of the TV show episodes this will definitely need to be part of your collection but it still pales in comparison to the television show.

if ya like the show, movie is even better!!!!! funny ass hell!! dunno what else to type here but for some reason the review needs to be at least 100 letters long. kinda dumb if ya ask me. why cant i just say its a damn funny movie and call it a day???? i mean cmon.... whos got time to write a book for a review? dumb!!!

Bought a DVD still sealed and just the way it was described in listing. Fast shipping, which was nice. Good communication and the shipping information was sent ASAP. Would buy again from this seller.
