CHiPs | Ratings & Reviews

"Those who remember the original 1970s TV show know CHiPs stands for California Highway Patrol, or cops on big bikes. Jon Baker (Dax Shepard), a painkiller-addicted, former BMX star turned rookie cop, is teamed with Frank "Ponch" Poncherello (Michael Pena), a seasoned pro, and homophobic sex-addict, with a habit of shooting his own partners to save them."

"I'm actually kind of shocked there aren't more homophobic gags here."

Village VoiceVillage Voice

"The movie is what it looks like when mindless slumming convinces itself that it's hip."

VarietyVariety

"A fascination with posteriors - both human and feline - isn't the worst thing about "CHIPS," but it's up there."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Shepard and Pena do at least throw themselves into proceedings with elan, but they can't prevent CHiPs from seeming a distinctly second-gear affair."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"The film hasn't just wasted 100 minutes of your life. It has also destroyed whatever affection you might once have had for the TV show that spawned it."

StuffStuff

"Can a movie be cheekily self-aware and still thoroughly terrible? Without a doubt. And yet damned if "CHIPS" doesn't somehow make the most of its own wink-wink awfulness."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Will likely manage the difficult feat of simultaneously alienating fans of the original series and newcomers who will wonder why a buddy cop comedy displays so much homosexual panic."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Brainless action comedies are one of the great pleasures in cinema, but only when they're crafted with more care and intelligence than this."
