Feels like production was a little rushed - but still a fun time
jtindahouse15 December 2022
I love 'Reno 911!'. But I hate Christmas films (with a few exceptions to be fair). So this was a weird little combo for me. To be honest I was just happy to be getting another 'Reno 911!' film so soon after last years one. Last year's was truly brilliant and I'm sure that's why they got the green-light for another one.

This one however felt a bit rushed. It felt like it was a couple of re-writes short of being what it could be. Making a film on a tight time-budget is always a risky procedure from what I understand.

Even the worst 'Reno 911!' skits are going to make you laugh in some way though. And while some of the stuff in the film was a miss, there are also some scenes that are right up there with the best this show has to offer. So not the best this product has to offer, but still a lot of fun. 7/10.

It's good silly fun!
tallica-6207231 August 2023
I had low expectations based on a lot of negative reviews I saw but honestly this is just good silly Reno 911 fun. There's lots of funny moments (doves, anytime Dangle does cocaine, the Kenny museum, the chimpsack, the school bus bloodbath, "Happy Christmas" etc) and I enjoyed it enough to think I needed to leave a review which I don't often do for films! Hope we get lots more Reno 911 in the future.

Wow my review is too short, I need to make sure it has enough characters for it to be posted but not sure what else to say. Hopefully Ben is back for the next set of Reno as he's missed in this film.

4.8/10. Not recommended

The most unfunny entrance in Reno 911 movies/series. I didn't like much the previous movie (hunt for qanon) but, at least, there were some funny scenes. HEIST seems lifeless, actors look tired, even their performances look awkward and not in a good way, as usual. Reno 911 was not the best tv comedy series i have watched, but i liked it a lot, these characters were always funny and overall, this show was kinda original. Didn't always hit the mark but this was a successful comedy, if comedy is something that should make you laugh. Even at the latest -not so good- seasons, this show made me laugh a lot. Watching HEIST, i didn't laugh even once. I hope they find their rhythm again, and i am looking forward to watch a 9th season or a new movie. I am not writing them off yet.

Robert Ben Garant should be there again.

Not Reno's best work
d_penn4 January 2023
Fan of the series and happy to see any Reno 911 content, however, as the time passes and the cast starts to slowly change up, I'm growing weary that there's starting to be little left to enjoy. Wanted to turn it off a few times but I'm dedicated to Reno but glad it's only 78 minutes long. Just a notch above waste of time. The smiles were few and far between. The writing seemed kind of dull. As the acting has been watered down as well. Definitely not up to Miami or Q potential. One thing I noticed that definitely made me loose interest is there's no deputy Travis Junior and very little of Garcia. Unfortunately it seems like it's starting to crumble before our very eyes. You can skip this one if you'd like and still live a fulfilling life.

Reno 911: It's a Terrible Mess
badd-651025 December 2022
Having been a huge fan of the show in its original run, I was really looking forward to this. I made it about 50 minutes in without so much as cracking a smile before I called it quits. Robert Ben Garant's absence from the screen was disappointing enough, but his absence from the writing credits makes me think he was the biggest talent behind the scripts, too.

The hilarious interpersonal dynamics between the deputies and lieutenant Dangle that made the original show so endearing are entirely absent here (some of which may be at least partially a consequence of the expanded cast), and instead we're treated to bit after zany bit with Dangle and the gang just there to provide bland commentary on the already bland gags.

I trie, I really did. Sadly I Couldn't even finish it.
dhwxbdm26 December 2023
Me and my wife watched about forty minutes of this poop and couldn't do it anymore. I been a fan of this show since I was 14 years old and this was NOTHING like the original show. The interactions with them seemed kinda off and jokes seemed forced.

The main characters barely had lines, I don't even remember Garcia having speaking lines from what I saw and the absence of junior is extremely noticeable. Everyone one looked like they were sleepy or just didn't wanna be there.

I'm gonna try to rewatch it and see if nostalgia was just clouding my judgement but this was not what I was expecting in the least bit.

It had some slightly funny moments (Terry's mistletoe wiener🤣) but the jokes just didn't have the same punch they used to have. All the banter between the cops wasn't even natural feeling.

Everything just seems off.

Perfect, for what it is...
rdm-8397810 December 2022
A consistently funny, truly Altman-esque rollercoaster of excellent sight gags, brilliant performances, grand jokes and hilarious throwaway lines. Just when you think they've gone too far, they go above and beyond.

Much of the action is set in what appears to be a decaying mall, where the deputies are trying to protect a huge nugget of some kind. It's enough of a hook to support the thin plot.

By the time you take the magical sleigh ride, you'll be ready for anything!

If you don't laugh out loud, you should move to a state with legal cannabis (why not Reno?)... and keep trying!

An Acquired Taste To Be Sure; But, Not Even A Morsel Here
redbaron-8619211 December 2022
Fan of the series and thankful to see any Reno 911 content; however, it's getting to the point where even I grow weary as the cast dwindles and the terrific banter wanes and there is little left to enjoy. Wanted to turn it off a few times, fortunately it was only 78 minutes. Just a notch above a waste of time, and that is from a long term fan's point of view. I did not crack a smile until the second half of the movie and I really do not see how they are able to find any financial backers to produce such a film. The writing is noticeably worse than even the last marginal film and an expanded cast does not make up for the lack of chemistry and quality banter between the remaining original cast members. You may want to skip this one.

LAUGHED!.......exactly zero times
paulc-8875518 December 2023
The whole of the review is in the title. It's hard to add the required characters to this review since there is nothing to be said except that I have enjoyed the show but this was just not funny at all. I thought to myself, i'm not laughing. Then an unfunny joke would come about and i'd think....was that funny enough to laugh at? Maybe i should laugh and see if it feels right. Then I would try to fake laugh, but it was so unfunny my body wouldn't let me do that. More characters to fill the review. More characters to fill, more characters to fill, more characters. More.....more....almost there.

Thankful for any new Reno 911 in 2022
codyleeg10 December 2022
I've only seen the beginning, I'm watching it as I write this.. but I saw there was only one review and though I can understand where the reviewers coming from, I'm just thankful for any new Reno 911 content in 2022.. it can always be better and it's never going to be perfect or like it used to be. But like I said I'm just thankful that the actors are willing to revive these characters.

It's in its own genre and will always be special to me, that being said let me (actually watch it) & make sure it's not overwhelmingly horrible.. if for some reason it is I think I will be crushed. Now I'm a little worried and really hoping that I'm not just being a giant hypocrite.

I LOVE THESE CRAZY COPS!!!
leidilat13 January 2023
This movie was hilarious!!! I was so happy to see some of Reno's finest back in action and better than ever... Between the chimp sack, crotch doves, Terry's mistletoe dick, T. T's floppy boobs and Jackie stuck in the book donation box with a smelly punani I couldn't stop laughing!!! My only complaint is that deputy Garcia really didn't have a speaking role and once again Junior wasn't even in the movie. I purchased the movie on Amazon for $10 and thought it was well worth it. I look forward to watching their next film. One of my favorite Reno 911 shows was the Halloween episode. I would love to see a Reno 911 Halloween movie in 2023!!!
