If you're a fan of the TV Show Reno 911, this movie brings more of the hilarity that occurs to the Reno Police.

The basic plot is great, however some of the writing could have been better for the movie. The cops do crazy things that normal cops would never do, and in reality these cops would never be allowed to stay on the job.

The movie had funny points, however there were points which just weren't funny. Overall it was good to watch once for a few laughs, but you won't be watching this one over and over.

The film was really good not as good as the series which is why I gave it a 4.5/5. Still a good film very close to the show's style.

Hilarious. Never watched the series as I dislike the documentary style of television, but I gave this a shot and was pleasantly surprised. Each scene could go on youtube and be a fav. Very funny movie.

Reno 911! Miami follows the stupidty of the cops from the show. It is funny and gives you laughsm but it is not the greatest movie you could waste away your time with. The movie will most likely only be enjoyed by the fans of the show.

This show works well on TV, it's written better, it's staged better, and the use of the hand held makes the silliness all the more relevant and believable. This movie is terribly simple and badly done. The slapstick silliness is badly timed over acted, and greatly missing that element the television show holds dear. How they managed to get some higher class comedic actors to appear in this I'll never know.
the few comedic moments that weren't simply directed at teenagers were clever, but not enough to make up for the rest of it.
the acting is decent, but they characters weren't given much to work with, so their talents simply get lost in the underlying silliness of the rest of it.

Ok Ok now you look at the half a star and wonder why?? This is a movie that is geared on the fans of this show. Me not being one really does not get the idea of this show. Its about a fictional police force that goes to florida. After some outbreak they are the only force in town and they are in charge. Now somewhere along here there is comedy but I cannot see it. The movie more than anything is annoying but again I must say this with a grain of salt. I have never seen this show on comedy central so I am sure fans of this show would find this movie hilarious. The acting in this movie is average at best and the movie is very short. 80 mins about which is good because the script is really poor. It plays like an extended tv show with curses and some nudity. I would say to skip this movie unless you are a fan of this show.

All the leads are hysterical, and the movies is jam-packed with cameos from Danny DeVito as a police chief to Paul Rudd as a Colombian Drug Lord. Comedian Nick Swarsd...(read more)on is a stand-out as the ultra-lewd Terry. I recommend it to fans of the show as well as anyone looking for a humorous raunchy comedy. Grade: C+

  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.

  This low-rent, nonsense cop business filled me with a nostalgic twinge. I didn't know I wanted the "Police Academy" series resurrected with a lot more hilarity, but I'm glad somebody did it.

  Reno 911's anti-heroes are doomed, deluded losers, but they engender a strange sympathy all the same.

  Whatever the final analysis, Reno 911!: Miami is a welcome breath of fresh air in a year that's already forced audiences to endure the likes of "Norbit."

  The characters are perfectly evolved screwups and the premise has potential. It lacks only the discipline of a 30-minute episode -- or a YouTube video.

  By film's end, you've enjoyed a middle-of-the-road episode of the series, basically. And as usual, Deputy Trudy and Lt. Dangle are getting the best lines while about one-third of the jokes hit their marks.

  The gags vary - a tattooed-breast mystery kinda sags - but there are lots of laughs.

  The film's longer running time means more dead spots and the more elaborate stunts demand tighter scripting and less room to improvise, which is a shame since improvisation is the Reno's gang real strength. Forgiving fans, however, won't care a whit.

  Often mildly amusing but rarely laugh-out-loud funny, the film works best in scenes with a distinct Miami flavor.

  It probably cost less than the catering budget of average Adam Sandler comedy and, in its own hit-and-miss scattershot fashion, it's about as funny. At least when it hits.

  Moviedom is littered with the wreckage of ill-conceived small-to-big-screen adaptations, but Reno 911!: Miami is not the disaster it could have been. Fans of the TV show need not shudder. You will not see sacrilege.

  While several members of the cast valiantly fill the void where they can, these fish out of water could have made a greater high-definition splash if they had been thrown an occasional line or two rather than counting on inspiration to wash over them.

  Come to think of it, 84 minutes isn't much of a sacrifice for a few laughs, even if the material is almost as hit-or-miss as our heroes' shooting skills.

  The humor is lowbrow, but the screenwriters and performers have a sense of pride that makes them strive for stupid jokes that haven't been done before.
