Jon Baker and Frank "Ponch" Poncherello have just joined the California Highway Patrol in Los Angeles, but for very different reasons. Baker is a former motorbike rider who's trying to put his life and marriage back together. Poncherello is a cocky, undercover FBI agent who's investigating a multimillion dollar heist that may be an inside job. Forced to work together, the inexperienced rookie and hardened veteran begin clashing instead of clicking while trying to nab the bad guys.

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.

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

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

The Age (Australia)

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

Rated: 1/5

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."

Rated: 2.5/4

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

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

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.
