This silly comedy based on a TV Show has a game cast but there's only a few laughs here.

Lieutenant Jim Dangle (Thomas Lennon) is been invited to a national police convention in Miami Beach, Florida. Dangle brings his seven deputies with him. Deputy Travis Junior (Robert Ben Garant), Deputy Trudy Wiegel (Kerri Kenney-Silver), Deputy Raineesha Williams (Niecy Nash), Deputy S. Jones (Cedric Yarbrough), Deputy Clementine Johnson (Wendi McLendon-Covey), Deputy James Garcia (Carlos Alazraqui) and Deputy Cherisha Kimball (Mary Birdsong) are thrilled with the news. But once they arrived in Miami, Florida. Their invitation is been misplaced and these inept cops are forced to stay to in a sleazy hotel for a couple of days. Now the city is in mortal danger, when all the cops in the police convention are affected by a virus. Which they have a couple of days to find the cure before they all die. Lieutenant Dangle and his deputies are the only law left in the city. They have no choice to do their job for this city. While the team are trying to find, who's responsible for the sick crime.

Directed by Robert Ben Garant (Balls of Fury) made an lively comedy that is based on a Cult TV Series from Comedy Central. The cast, who play these inept characters are fun to watch but the script, written by director:Garant, Lennon and Kenney-Silver is thinly plotted and there's no story here but a series of vignettes. These extremely dumber than dumb police officers are worse than the "Police Academy" cast of characters. Which some scenes are amusing and it has some gross-out gags as well. The eight characters from the movie did so much better in the TV Show.

DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has three commentaries tracks! One by actors/filmmaker:Garant, Lennon and Kenney-Silver. The two other commentaries track are done by the eight cast members, being in character from the picture. DVD also has Deleted/Extended Scenes with optional commentary by actors/filmmaker, Public Announce Services by the cast members, a short featurette of the premiere of the movie and trailers. This picture will certainly get an cult following. Fans of the TV Series will love it and others will probably find this movie joyless. It is certainly a true mixed bag of a movie. Paul Rudd has some funny bits in his bit part as "Ethan the Drug-lord". Which Rudd does an funny parody of Oscar-Winner:Al Pacino's performance in "Scarface". Amusing cameos by Danny DeVito (Who's also one of the producers of this film), David Koechner, Nick Swardson, Mindy Sterling, Paul Reubens and a uncredited one by The Rock. (***/*****).
