I recently stumbled into Reno 911! on Comedy Central and fell in love with the delivery found in every scene of that show. From the Hummer to Rick, the writers and actors involved in the show were capable of constructing hilarious little nuggets every couple minutes. Unfortunately, random, but frequent, spells of hilarity do not translate well to an 83-minute big-screen rendition.
One funny moment that shimmered with the chemistry formed on TV came during the on-boat interrogation by Paul Rudd. After a minute of intimidation with a weed wacker, the hostage poked, "You're insane. Who has a weed wacker on a boat?"
All in all, I'm still an avid fan and advocate for the TV series, but would caution most people who are drawn to the subtleties found in the show to be prepared for an average comedy most of the time.
