Reno 911!: Miami
“Reno 911!: Miami (2007) took the beloved Comedy Central mockumentary series and gave it the ‘big screen’ treatment. The inept deputies of the Reno Sheriff’s Department head to a national police convention in Miami, only to find themselves as the only ones left to protect the city after a bio-terrorist attack. The film keeps the show’s improvisational spirit alive, featuring the iconic short-shorts of Lieutenant Dangle (Thomas Lennon) and the chaotic energy of Deputy Wiegel (Kerri Kenney-Silver). The humor is a mix of slapstick, social satire, and character-driven absurdity. From the disastrous attempt to remove a dead whale from a beach to their awkward encounters with high-ranking officials, the movie delivers exactly what fans wanted: incompetence on a grander scale. It’s a perfect example of a TV-to-film transition that doesn’t lose the charm of its low-budget origins while embracing the chaos of a feature film.”
The Reno deputies brought their brand of ‘law and order’ to Miami… but next, we meet a man who realizes that his entire life is actually a scripted television show.
