CHiPs

2017 • 100 minutes

About this movie

Jon Baker (Dax Shepard) and Frank “Ponch” Poncherello (Michael Peña) have just joined the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in Los Angeles but for very different reasons. Baker is a beaten-up pro motorbiker trying to put his life and marriage back together. Poncherello is a cocky undercover Federal agent investigating a multi-million dollar heist that may be an inside job — inside the CHP. The inexperienced rookie and hardened pro are teamed together, but clash more than click, so kickstarting a partnership is easier said than done. But with Baker’s bike skills combined with Ponch’s street savvy it might just work…if they don’t drive each other crazy along the way.

Ratings and reviews

Just watching the commercials for this made me cringe. I've watch the original CHiPs show several times and I still love it. THIS MOVIE IS JUST OFFENSE TO THE ORIGINAL. Comedy movies are just getting worse and worse with each one and just piggy-back off of good original shows and make them a joke. It's not funny or entertaining IN ANY WAY so please Hollywood, just stop butchering it for the rest of us.

When I watched this, I was hoping you could rent it but it was already on the $8 or less rack. I figured I'd check it out to see the difference between the 6 seasons of tv episodes I own. There were people in here leaving messages saying they kept laughing all thru the movie and I could not find a spot to laugh at. All thru the movie was sexist. No matter what was going on, sex talk had to come up. When people got hit by cars, instead of sliding or being thrown away from area, a computer motion comes up where you can see them fly 2 feet by computer vision.

A shame Hollywood keeps taking the lazy and easy route to make *Again* something totally forgettable. First Starsky and Hutch now this. Both could of been loved for years to come if only care was taken to make these movies what they were intended to be...Characters to care about with some humor but with serious stories that would bring back that particular decade feel. What's next for hollywood?...A comedy on Quincy... (hope not).
