UNDISCIPLINED? The cops of Reno 911!: Miami collar some laughs, but at feature-length their focus starts to...dangle

More reviews about this film Powered by MRQE.com

Comedy Central's fictionalized Reno Sheriff's Dept. is renowned for its laziness and lack of focus. With this feature-length version of their COPS parody, director Robert Ben Garant and his co-conspirators can now share that renown. Reno 911!: Miami is not unfunny: The characters are perfectly evolved screwups and the premise (every legit cop is quarantined at a police convention, leaving our heroes in charge of Miami) has potential. It lacks only the discipline of a 30-minute episode — or a YouTube video.
