Movie Reviews of Reno 911 - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Pray You Never Need To Call Them
Summary: 5 Stars
Good things do happen. If you wait around long enough, a small little treasure or two can come your way. The hilarious, over the top, "Cops" spoof "Reno 911" is one such treat that the good folks over at Comedy Central have unleashed and given to the world. How can we thank them?. If you wonder what would happen if Christopher Guest, the king of improvised mockumentaries, had given TV a television show, chances are it would be something like this. Only a lot funnier. A few members of the defunct MTV show "The State" are the brains behind this concoction, and also appear in the show. We have the leader of this gang of misfits, Lt. James Dangle(co-creator Thomas Lennon), a feminine man with a fondness of riding police bicycles, dainty facial hair, and the tightest shorts known to man. Next is Dep. James Garcia(Carlos Alazraqui), a stern looking guy with a crew cut who seems to try to be the manliest of the men. Dep. Trudie Wiegel(show co-creator Kerri Kenney), is the oddest duck in the pond. Weak, strange, and the butt of many of her fellow officers' comments. Dep. Clementine Johnson(Wendi McClendon-Covey), is an ex stripper turned cop who seems to be more interested in her looks than catching a bad guy. Dep. S. Jones(Cedric Yarbrough), is the one who seems to keep his cool most of the time. Then we have the remaining two, Dep. Travis Junior(Co-Creator Ben Garant), and Dep. Raineesha Williams(Niecy Nash). Junior is a trailer livin' redneck kind of a guy, and Williams is a brassy woman filled with spunk and attitude. Together they are supposed to be some of Reno's fine..., well, just some of Reno's. The show has a plot and a sense of where it is to go, but the whole thing is improvised. Improvisation remains to be one of the best, strongest, and most interesting chapters in the comedy genre, and the actors here are some of the best at it. The show begins with the usual "Viewer Discretion Is Advised" thing, and it has an opening credit section that also goes after the "Cops" vibe with a mirage of fast cutting scenes. There are a few characters that have become recurring throughout these first episodes of season 1 that you will come to know soon enough. The episodes have a number of things going in each one, so there is no sense(or room) to go into describing them. All I can say is that the cops have a way of ruining evidence, letting crimes be committed, and sometimes actually solving a case. Although in some cases they do so unexpectedly. The show is laugh out loud funny and each character has it's own voice. This means more praise to the already incredible and talented cast. They have taken their characters, without a script, and made them into full fledged, full blooded, three dimensional people. Each their own person. You will have fun catching the "Cops" and other cultural references, and just the insanity and hilarity of the situations the cops, and their cases, find themselves in. The show is produced by Danny DeVito through his company, Jersey Films. So, thank you Danny!. And thanks to Comedy Central for showing us that good comedy is still alive and well on TV.
