Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “The story centers on a rag-tag team of Reno cops that are called in to save the day after a terrorist attack disrupts a national police convention in Miami Beach during spring break. They’re not the best, but that’s all we got. Based on the Comedy Central cable TV series.”

Negative—This would honestly be the worst movie I have ever seen. The overall quality of the acting, humor and general story line was something you would expect a drug addict who is currently heavily under the influence of weed. This is the first movie I have ever walked out of, because I was disgusted by the graphic crudeness of the humor. There was a scene involving an intimate sexual relationship between a man and a woman that was quite repulsive (that is where I walked out). The actual story line was sadly lacking any decent content and is definitely not worth seeing. …lacked any form of laughable humor, and was poorly thought-out and not well conveyed. As a general rule, I have enjoyed most movies I have seen and probably do not have standards as high as some people do. But this is a definite no-go for me.

…this is not high art. It might not qualify as low art…

Michael Esposito, Chicago Tribune

…The most difficult thing to overcome is paying full price for a movie that looks so cheap. …

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

…it feels overlong and much of the humour is padded…

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

…the material is almost as hit-or-miss as our heroes' shooting skills…

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

…Overlong and unimaginative… the setups become laborious and the payoffs are minimal…

Jason Ferguson, Orlando Weekly

…the movie is lessened by that pesky requirement of feature films: a plot that hangs together throughout. (Requirement of good feature films, I should say.)…
