"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 !!!!Read full review

Reno 911:Miami is like Reno 911 on Steroids. My wife never laughs at anything but she did this time

Reno 911: Miami had some pretty funny moments, over-the-top situations and a few outright laughs. Is that Good, or Excellent? Well, after it was all over I would say that it was average. Maybe above. The movie is basically the show on tv with stuff you can't see on tv. Some nudity and shots of woman in skimpy bathing suits and other sexual situations (that are pretty funny). Other scenes are just boring and tired and trying to fill the time.... So, if you're a fan of Cops and Reno, then this is your bag, if not, its just a waste of an hour or so.
