Reno 911!: It's a Wonderful Heist

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
