I just went to a sneak preview of this movie, I thought I would enjoy it since I find the TV show to be funny. Although the movie kind of plays out as an hour-long episode of the show, it is not nearly as funny.
I think it's because they take the characters out of Reno, and they practically eliminate the fake-reality-show element. Rather than give us a big helping of the TV show (which would have been great) they try and make it a big-budget extravaganza and it just doesn't play out well.
Borat was hilarious because they kept it low budget and followed the format of the original show; Reno 911 on the other hand had it's funny moments, but was not properly adapted to the big screen.
