The deputies of the Reno sheriff's
department visit a national police convention in Miami Beach. When
the convention center is bio-attacked, it's up to Reno's "finest"
to save the day. -Yahoo! Movies
As I was leaving the theater I had the
crazy sensation of deja vu. I could have sworn that I had seen this
before, maybe even twice. When I got home I hit the most wonderful
site on the Internet, The IMDB (Internet Movie Database for those who
don't know) and guess what I found? I found this movie, well a slight
variation of it, called Police Academy 5: Assignment: Miami Beach!
OK, a bit of an exaggeration there but not much. Both movies include
a group of misfits with the main difference being that Police Academy
5 actually has a plot. Reno 911! Miami has a plot so thin it looks
like an old sock. Hell, the plot only rears it's ugly head in the ten
minutes before sinking under the quagmire that is the movie only to
rear it's head at the very end. Can you tell I'm not a fan?
Reno 911! : Miami is just an extended
episode of the Comedy Central show without the bleeps and blurs. I
wouldn't be surprised if they split this up into a three parter and
aired it with the bleeps and blurs back in. If you are a fan, wait
for the DVD. But if you must see this in the theater, make sure you
stay past the credits. If you aren't a fan, just skip it.
keep reading.
