Reno 911!: It's a Wonderful Heist

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.

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.

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!

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 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.
