Critics Consensus

CHiPS abandons the endearing innocence of its source material, using the titular cop show's premise as a setup for aggressively lowbrow gags that prove only mildly arresting at best.

Not as bad as people made out. Watchable and dax did a good job.

If I had not been among company that wanted to see this I would have turned it off. I've not seen the original series, so my gripes with this are not due complaints about that. Instead it's that the humor in this movie is so juvenile and wildly lowbrow jokes that it may only entertain a 16 year-old who still giggles when genitalia are mentioned.

This movie gets a really bad rap, and I'm surprised people haven't discovered this gem over time. CHiPs is hilarious and the action is intense and very well-directed. The fact that you can clearly tell Dax is doing all his motorcycle riding and stunts makes the action more exciting. If this movie wasn't called CHiPs and had nothing to do with the TV show it would have received by audiences as a great buddy cop movie like 21 Jump Street or The Other Guys. Give it a chance and you may be surprised.

The movie kinda sucked. BUT, the filmmakers weren't aiming for, say, "The Godfather", or "All About Eve", or "Annie Hall". They were aiming for a really silly comedy with a few laughs, some action, and not much more. They borrowed character material from "Lethal Weapon", and the more recent "buddy" cop films, so nothing original here. They threw a ton of off-color jokes at the wall and some stuck. Add some raunch, plenty of breasts for the boys, gobs of gross, and you get a soft-porn version of "CHiPs", with some "Reno 9/11" thrown in. Still, while I have NO problem turning off lousy movies, for some reason, I couldn't turn this one off. Great motorcycle chases, some cool explosions, and a good helping of gore with heads getting cut off, fingers shot off, and human bodies getting totally destroyed by big trucks. Smoke a joint prior to watching, and you'll love this pic.

It is really no plot at all, merely a vehicle to allow Shepard and Pena to riff about kinky bedroom habits, homophobia and so on. Those flippant exchanges fluctuate from funny to flat.

Rated: 2.5/4

Taken purely on its own, Chips is a wretched attempt at an action comedy. I can only imagine how it looks to viewers with emotional investment in the source material

A disclaimer reads "The California Highway Patrol does not endorse this film". It's hard to imagine anyone does.

Me, I found Pauline Kael's review of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure echoing in my ears: "I liked the movie's unimportance. It isn't saying anything."

As a comedy, it's serviceable but never able to stake out something that makes it memorable. As an action film, it's a delightful throwback to a bygone era.

Rated: 3/5

Matt Brunson

Film Frenzy

The crudity flows as easily as the violence in this low-IQ outing, with a special emphasis on gay panic humor and an even greater emphasis on sexist humor (this is the sort of film that suggests that if a woman isn't a 10, she might as well kill herself).

Rated: 1.5/4
