Humiliation Played For Laughs In Tawdry `Reno 911!: Miami'
Too-revealing swimsuits on swimsuit-impaired bodies, inept demonstrations of the proctologist's tools-of-the-trade, sexual encounters of the most embarrassing kind: It's an R-rated version of the TV show, as if that's a good thing.
It's not quite all for naught. "Reno" does manage a titter here and a giggle there. But it's a cheap, dumb, obvious movie. How cheap? The big screen never seemed so small.
Thomas Lennon is Lt. Dangle, the aptly named, slightly closeted officer in charge of a team of eight Reno, Nev., sheriff's deputies. He's introduced shorts to his uniform that only a gay Australian football player could love.
"I've got to be able to move like a cheetah!"
His officers include the clueless Cherisa (Mary Birdsong), who pines for him, the in-denial lesbian Trudy (Kerri Kenney-Silver), the drawling rube Travis Junior (played by co-writer/director Robert Ben Garant), the zaftig tart Clementine (Wendi McLendon-Covey), Garcia (Carlos Alazraqui), Jones (Cedric Yarbrough), and the outrageous Raineesha (Niecy Nash), a woman who should never hit the beach in a T-back.
