The Rockuary: Reno 911: Miami

So it's like this...

In this movie, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is not a major character.  But as he does have a substantial cameo in this movie, I'm including this movie into "The Rockuary."  But before I review this movie, I want to let my readers know that I never watched the show.  I didn't really have access to a TV at this point in my life, so I don't really know whether the show was any good, and therefore I might be judging the movie leaning more toward my own ignorance than for the quality of its source material.

Reno 911, from what I understand is a mockumentary, that parodies COPS, and does so in a clever fashion that's funny and well-paced.  But in this movie... I guess I'm missing the clever, the funny, and the pacing.  And while I'm going to chalk up most of what I think is wrong with this movie up to my ignorance of the source material, I've got to say besides the flashes of nudity, and Danny Devito... I can't really find anything good about this movie.  Granted it's not DOOMed to be a stinker... like DOOM was, and Dwayne Johnson's cameo is interesting, this movie sucked.

I think the movie could have been better if it were split up into a few episodes, but to have to sit through 80 minutes of just lowbrow jokes (most which don't work), and a plot that slogs on, I lost interest in the movie about 25 minutes in, and I personally can't even remember what happened in it.  And I just watched this movie for the first time last night.

And really... with all the nudity and dick jokes, I guess a cohesive plot and character development is obligated to take a secondary role to whatever is going on.  Even as I'm writing this review, I feel like the audience itself is secondary to this movie having its own head up its ass.  So I'm just going to end with this.

If you know the source material of the movie and this particular movie does it for you, then by all means.  If you don't know the source material, but you like to see bewbs and all that, then... this movie is for you.  If you don't know the source material, and you were thinking about watching this movie for its immersive characters, it's engaging plot, and a cohesive and clever idea... then you'd be better off watching paint dry.

On a scale between one and Super Mega Awesome, I give this movie a Masterfully Crapful.  Ass and titties can only go so far. Tune in to The Infraggable Tony-Reviews presents "The Rockuary" when I review "Southland Tales."
