Listen, this is slapstick comedy. Do not watch this expecting some great writing, ok. These characters are hilarious and the actors deliver. The only downside is that Terry does not make an appearance and they really let that gold mine slip away.

These reviews are hilarious

Not sure I've seen more sensitivity than the users complaining that poking fun at a group that advocates executing members of Congress and told us Trump was working with Robert Mueller to take down Hillary and said JFK Jr was coming back at DjT's running mate is somehow wrong. If you seriously identify with those people you have more issues than a comedy film.
What can I say? It made me laugh.
tikitim-7652028 December 2021
I have really needed a good laugh lately with all of the negativity in this world. I have always liked the actors in Reno 911 and while this is slapstick and super dumb, it did make me laugh. Does it have bathroom humor? Yes it does. If you arent into dumb, raunchy comedy then I would walk away. It isn't as good as the series but it is still nice seeing the gang together again.
Silly giggles

These characters still work.
bobby-daubert1 January 2022
I thought that this was a fun addition to the series. The reason 911! Works is because these performers are so talented, you can just drop them in to almost any situation, and they will deliver something entertaining. This was no different, there are some good laughs and some over the top gags. I got stoned on New Year's Eve and zoned out to this, I'd recommend you get in a similar headspace to get maximum enjoyment.
If I'm being objective, this could have had like 15-20 minutes shaved off of it. Not every gag works, and they could have tightened this up to make a better product.

Not their strongest performances

It was certainly a welcomed surprise to find the team has put together another Reno 911 movie. The shorts where good, but too short, so a movie was a great idea. The problem is it starts ok, then fails to be as funny as it should be. It didn't hit the ball out of the park with this one, but I do hope we see Reno 911 back in the near future.
Standard dumb comedy
devifire191 January 2022
It's a silly comedy, definitely sophomoric humor. Still a fun watch that made me chuckle and grossed me out too. I agree, it's not their best or their worst, but if you liked the show and the characters it's definitely a decent way to spend 90 minutes.
Huge disappointment
sujensen-19 March 2022
This was so bad, it almost ruined the series for me. This film had none of the regular series' characteristic wit and originality. It all felt like they were trying too hard. And the cold open with Jim and his bike? They really reached for a laugh but the whole bit fell flat (so to speak).
It's Reno 911...not Shakespeare
marymcfarland-0186626 December 2021
I've been watching Reno 911 forever, and I got a good chuckle out of this. Was it their best work? No. Conversely, it wasn't their worst either. It is exactly what fans would expect it to be. It doesn't try to be anything other than what it is...fun, in your face comedy.
Very cheap production
the_real_smile29 December 2021
I love the Reno series, I even enjoyed Reno 911! Miami. I had the chance to see this movie at the International Corona home festival. The movie starts with a couple of good puns, and then it gets worse, they cannot hide the cheap decors, thin story and lightly funny jokes, but the cast is trying to make it a watchable movie. I hear this movie is about to be played in the theaters, but I cannot recommend to go, its not worth your money.
How comedies should (and used to) be
jtindahouse25 December 2021
They don't make movies like this anymore. Comedy films where anything goes are as rare as hen's teeth these days. It's so refreshing to see one made and to just be able to relax back into the experience without a care in the world about who might get offended.
I've always maintained that 'Reno 911!' is the funniest sit-com out there. It may not be the best in a lot of other ways, but based purely on how funny it is it sits at number one for me. The characters are just gold. In 'Reno 911!: The Hunt for QAnon', as usual, Thomas Lennon and Kerri Kenney steal the show. Everyone is great but those two are on another level.
There is a musical sequence in this movie that was so unexpected and so well put together that it blew me away. A really remarkable piece of music in a film I would not have expected it from. I had a truly great time with this movie and if you feel like me, and miss the way comedies used to be, then I implore you to give this one a go. 9/10.

Lies of the Deep State
nogodnomasters10 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The squad all go undercover looking for Q to serve him papers. They go on a "Q Booze Cruise." They have all been suffering from depression because the whole world hates them.
I had to laugh at just the one quick liners that nobody questions like when Wendi says, "I was Miss Teen Whisky Pete's" which is wrong on so many levels. The film also has small part by RuPaul and Pink. Good satire.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Coming from a big fan
chazmundo66623 December 2021
Awful, just plain awful, I love Reno, I really do, I liked Miami, I am a fan of all these guys individually and when they work together.
But this is genuinely just bad, I don't think I raised more than a smile on maybe two or three occasions, badly made, no script or story of note, waste of time that will never be watched again.
Need to watch some original Reno to cleanse my mind. This can't be my last memory of Reno 911 (I'm not dying or anything but you get what I mean)

Not the best Reno 911 movie but good enough.
deloudelouvain10 August 2022
It was probably not the best thing I watched from Reno 911 but it's still good enough to keep me entertained. But you have to be a fan of the series to get all the characters. My favorites will always be Lieutenant Dangle played by Thomas Lennon and Clementine Johnson played by Wendi McLendon-Covey. The rest of the cast is also good but again you have to be a fan of the show to get them all. In this movie they search for Q from Q-anon and that alone is already enough to make something funny. Let's face it, making fun of those lunatics is just easy, almost too easy, but it works. I will watch any movie with the Reno 911 crew and I doubt I could ever be disappointed by them.
Caribbean Queen
JoeHud29 December 2021
The scene with Caribbean Queen was about to make the whole movie worth it, the slow build up, lighting, camera angle and voice overs were perfect enough for that scene to go down in history. Then it was totally destroyed with Pink's performance. Completely, utterly, ruined it.
It was like Shawshank with Jar Jar.

TheOneThatYouWanted27 November 2022
This film is a mixed bag. The last 20 minutes are funny and entertaining but the rest of it is a bore for the most part. At least we finally know who Q really is so now I can sleep better tonight. Just to let you know, I have never seen the TV show Reno 911 and I am not planning on seeing it. I am sure fans of the show will more than enjoy the film. I am not sure if you are going to have fun with watching this film HOWEVER I might as well be honest and tell you about the movie bringing a humongously humongous supercalifragilisticexpialidocious like smile to my face at some moments. I give it a.
Not worth your time
redbaron-8619227 December 2021
Okay, maybe worth your time if you are a die hard fan of the old series and just have to watch anything related to this ensemble; but, this is probably their worst material, ever. Hopefully not the last of them, as I would hate for them to go out on this low note. I cannot think of a single laugh or smile throughout the entire movie. Coarser and more disjointed than ever. Terrible script, plot and three stars is generous, just for old time's sake!
5.9/10. Watchable but not recommended
athanasiosze9 March 2023
Reno 911 tv show is hilarious, previous movie too (MIAMI, 2007). This is not as good as its predecessors. There were not many scenes that make me laugh. It's not bad though. If you love these characters, i don't think you will regret watching this. Definitely, i didn't. It's always a pleasure watching these guys being dumb and erratic. There is a nice scene that they show their singing skills. So, if you are a fan, you won't hate it. However, i can't recommend it because it's not as funny as it should.
If you are not aware of this show, i suggest you to watch the tv show before watching this. Then, watch Reno 911!: Miami (2007), the movie. Don't start your reno911 journey with this. Chances are, you will dislike it.

I love Reno: 911, even the first movie. I really wanted to like this but it just fails miserably. All the original actors are there but half of them are just set decoration with minimal lines. Most of the jokes don't land. The nonsensical musical number in the middle was just awkward.
Definitely skippable even for the most die hard fans.

Reno911 Used to be Funny

in true Reno 911 style
johnsmithjanuary-200817 January 2022
Only made it 15 minutes into the program
frankobrad24 December 2021
Lightening does not hit in the same place twice. And greatness and creativity are fleeting. This show is a hot mess. We have watched Remo 911 programs and the subsequent movie dozens of times. We would never watch this again. It was simply stated stupid. Embarrassing. An epic catastrophe on a small scale. And we are sad because it was.
Entertaining second 'Reno 911' film...
RSO_Media31 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Being a fan of the original show, I thought 'Reno 911: The Hunt for QAnon' was pretty entertaining. I guess if I had a minor critique, I would just echo what another reviewer said, which is that the format of the COPS parody is lost in the translation to feature film (even more so than it was in Reno 911: Miami), but I still enjoyed it. I think I just generally prefer their encounters with homeless crackheads, crippled strippers, and roller-skating male prostitutes on the streets of Reno to their grand adventures at sea or in Miami.
Though the title may put some people off (I saw some reviews to this effect), it's not really the kind of tedious, unearned political lecture from wealthy idiots you might be expecting. It's pretty much JUST an actual comedy. Yeah, obviously they're poking fun at QAnon people, but the whole film is satirical and doesn't seem particularly malicious.
It has some genuinely funny bits, like the plot-thread about Weigel running out of her anti-psychotic medication, the revelation for who "Q" is was clever, and actually pretty hilarious, and of course, an extended joke about diarrhea.
No one seems to notice that their prime suspect is former *acting* mayor of Miami, Jeff Spoder.
Not everything works, but mostly it does.

I've always been a huge fan of the show, I eagerly awaited watching each new episode as they aired on Comedy Central many years ago. The show had an amazing mix of scripted and improv in the old seasons. Many people hated the Miami movie...I loved it. I thought it didn't have the low budget charm of the show but it still had some seriously funny moments.
This new movie on the other hand feels extremely forced, the vast majority of gags don't land at all, and even tough the cast gives it their all, the comedy just isn't there.
I think there could have been a lot of funny jokes related to Qanon, but they pretty much failed to deliver any of them.
The only positive I can say about this is that all the actors seem very comfortable sliding right back into their old characters and nobody seems to be phoning it in (although Patton Oswalt's new character was not great).
If you love the show, don't tarnish your memories by watching this, just stick with the old episodes.

Someone should call 911, because comedy was just murdered.
rnickm26 December 2021
I don't get how they thought this storyline was going to play for over an hour. No one cares enough about Qanon to watch a whole movie mocking what they believe people on the right to be. This is like cheap liberal comics trying to get Clapter by playing to their audience vs actually trying to be funny. We get enough of this with SNL and Borat 2.
The first movie was at least unique, and I argue the scene with the Alligator in the pool is one of the more funny laugh out loud scenes ever.
You could have made this funny, but it was a cheap attempt.
I'm shocked Patton Oswalt agreed to do this, he can at least make political mockery comical at times.
Putting a Make America great again hat on an actor is not comedy, and even in the realm of comedy and humor it seemed cheap and lacked effort.
We get it, you put on an American Flag t-shirt and suddenly everyone on the right is accepting of you. Who thought this would work for an hour.
