Reno 911: Qué bello es delinquir

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
