Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 17–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The Reno cops' tale suggests that even if you're completely incompetent, eventually you'll get lucky and save the day.
  • Violence:

    Lots of goofy gunplay and cartoonish violence (like a man getting eaten by an alligator and a SWAT officer accidentally blowing himself up during a motivational speech). A drug kingpin fires his machine gun in the air and threatens to torture characters with a weed whacker. In a few cases, blood is shown, but there are no graphic scenes of violence.
  • Sex:

    Many sexually crude episodes. In an early scene, almost all of the Reno deputies can be seen masturbating in their motel rooms. When he's not sporting his "short shorts" uniforms, Lt. Dangle wears hammock thongs that reveal his bare butt. A sequence takes place on a topless beach (viewers see various women's breasts). Desperate Trudy asks a wasted Dangle, who's gay, for a "pity f--k" when he obliges, the camera cuts to a couple having sex (nude breasts once again) in the motel room next door. One character, who always looks high and is known for being a gay prostitute on the show, makes lewd references about homosexual sex.
  • Language:

    Not a minute goes by without an expletive ("s--t," "dick," "f--k," "f--khead," "N" word, etc.) -- but that's no surprise, considering the number of bleeped words used on the Comedy Central show.
  • Consumerism:

    The officers drive Mustang police cars, and there are close-ups of various tourist spots around Miami Beach.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Lots of excessive partying: All of the Reno cops get drunk, and Clem is so hungover she can't remember whose face she had tattooed on her cleavage. There are scenes of the cops doing shots and of partygoers drinking. A drug lord's girlfriend casually snorts cocaine. One officer steals a joint from a perp she's arresting. An underage girl gets so drunk she vomits on one of the cops. (And the list goes on...)
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Reno 911!: Miami

Parents need to know that these cops definitely aren't your typical brave men and women in blue. Like the TV show it's based on, this movie is a raunchy, heavily improvised comedy. The characters may be diverse, but they're equal-opportunity idiots who know very little about enforcing (or upholding, for that matter) the law. The Reno officers love to wield their guns, drink, swear, and talk about sex. Those unfamiliar with the series should keep in mind that the characters are meant to be fumbling, bottom-of-the-barrel iterations of reality-TV cops.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the predominance of reality TV in primetime. Are there programs on the air that that resemble the Reno 911! show-within-a-show? What movies or TV shows provide better, more realistic examples of law-enforcement officials? Older teens should also be able to discuss the many stereotypes depicted in the film. Is it funny to play up stereotypes for laughs? When do you cross the line? What's the appeal of deliberately offensive humor?

    No Funnier then the T.V. Show, iffy for teens

    Reno 911: Miami is no funnier then the Reno 911 T.V. show. If you like the T.V. show, then you'll probably like the movie. The one main difference between the movie and the show, is that the movie has none of the blurs or bleeps. There are about 8 F-words, 1 n-word, two scenes of naked breasts and one sex scene. The are a couple of gloss-out scenes used for laughs, such as a man following a grenade off screen, then then getting blown up, the police blow up a whale and as a result whale guts fall everywhere, and one person is eaten by a alligator (The audience only sees blood in the water.

    DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE

    This movie was not very funny at all. Obviously they are running out of ideas that they had to add more nude women. It was also gross that a wale blew up. There is lots of masterbation in a joking way through windows in motel. There are bare breasted women with the camera on them for several minutes, also another bare breasted woman runs and her breast bounce up and down. (nipples visible) Then there is a sex seen and a womans breasts are pushed against the window and her boobs make a squeaking noise against the window and here nipples are rubbed against it. It was so unnecessary for all the explicit content in this movie. Definitely rediculous!

    Not easily offended, but....

    This movie even made me cringe a few times. There is no possible way I would encourage my child of any age (including adult) to watch this movie.

    Raunchy, innapropriate movie adaption of popular Reno 911 T.V show.

    Reno 911: Miami had it's hilarious parts however this T.V adaption did not keep me entertained for the good majority of the time. Throught Reno 911 there is a very good amount of swear words and language, f**k, s**t and basically everything you would suspect before going, due to the huge popularity of the MTV show Reno 911. Not very much violence, a whale blows up, some accidental shooting of the gun, all violence, if any, is meant stricly for comedy purpose. There is however alot of sexual themes, and a scene taking place on a nude beach so there is some nudity there, as well as references to masturbation. If you liked Reno Miami i would suggest such films as Jackass, Borat and South Park: The Movie.

    funny but only for teens and up

    if your teen is fairly mature and likes the show than you should take them to see it...i assure you all the language in this movie, they have heard just as much in one day at their school. the sex is pretty heavy...a shot of brief boobs...constant PG-13 level sexual jokes and one awkward scene. one girl does drugs(you find out it is fake, and she is with the FBI). so overall, 13+.

    pornography

    The movie was very humorous but had A LOT of sexually explicit material that was almost the same as pornography. Other than that, it was pretty raunchy, but ok.

    Longer Version of the TV Show

    Reno 911!: Miami is a fun movie. I don't recommend taking this to seriously, definitively appropriate for younger teens in which sadly they don't seem to get after being cursed at repetitively while working the box office at my local theater the weekend of its released, so any one under 17 wanting to see this with out their parent NO ID NO MOVIE! Its not suitable for you any way.
