What parents need to know
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.
What's the story?
In Reno 911!'s big-screen extravaganza, the improv crew responsible for the anything-goes comedy series heads from Nevada to Miami Beach, where the bumbling officers of the Reno Sheriff's Department -- led by Daisy Duke-shorts-loving Lieutenant Jim Dangle (Thomas Lennon) -- are barred from a national police convention, so they indulge in a little Miami-flavored debauchery. The next day, the seriously hung-over team learns that the conventioneers have been hit by a bioterrorism attack, and that Dangle and Co. are now literally the only available "trained" law enforcers in all of Miami. That's when the fun of witnessing the inept Reno gang roam Miami's streets begins. Sassy Deputy Raineesha Williams (Niecy Nash) patrolsSouth Beach in a thong, deputies James Garcia (Carlos Alazraqui) and S. Jones (Cedric Yarbrough) have an alligator encounter, and Dangle blows up a beached whale.
Is it any good?
RENO 911!: MIAMI isn't much more than a super-sized episode of the late-night show. The main difference is that instead of blurred images of topless (and bottomless) suspects and bleeped expletives and sexual banter, viewers get the full R-rated experience. The uninitiated may wonder what the fuss is all about, but hardcore Reno! fans will be left hoping for a sequel.
What 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?

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!

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.

Reno No-Go
THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR CHILDREN! This movie I would recommend to my adult friends, on the other hand. It is a VERY funny movie, but also very inappropriate.

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+.

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.

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.

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.
