"Reno 911: Miami"
Monday, March 05, 2007
The group of officers from the Reno police department are invited by default to Miami for a police convention. When the convention center full of cops is put in lockdown because of fears of a terrorist attack, the Reno P.D. is called in to save the day.
There are some laughs in this movie. When a huge whale washes up on the beach, the officers are called into move it. As they try to push the beast, one of the officers falls into the dead whale and is covered with ooze. Not to mention a pool scene where the cops are called into to get rid of a few unwanted visitors. But the genuine laughs in this movie are few and far between. It often realies on crude, sophomoric and repetitive humor to win over the audience. (Deputy Clementine gets a tattoo of a man on her breast and spends the whole movie trying to figure out who it is.)
Reno 911's quick wit and fast segments make the TV show a success. But dragging out a half-hour TV show to a full length movie does not work in this case. It's like a joke that doesn't end.
