Reno 911!: It's a Wonderful Heist

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.

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.

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'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 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.
