CHIPS Reviews
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."
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 3, 2022
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.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 29, 2021
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).
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 8, 2021
CHIPS doesn't offer much in the way of comedy, plot, characters, or the betterment of humanity.

While this CHiPs in nothing like the television show it is a fun, good time. The stars, action and even the plot keep the audience interested and entertained.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 12, 2019
Despite an at-times desperate desire to entertain, CHiPs never manages to transcend its juvenile baseline.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 12, 2019
CHIPS might not be the best film of the year, but it is worth checking out. [Full Review in Spanish]

Mindless cinema can be fun, but not when it's this awful.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 20, 2018
Not everything has to be raunchy and rated R. Just because Sony did it doesn't mean you have to do it.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Aug 30, 2018
There's no on-screen chemistry, the jokes don't work, the movie made no sense, and I was literally praying for it to end.

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.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 26, 2018
... there is not much to say, beyond that this film was written and directed by the dissatisfied comedian Dax Shepard, mastermind behind the mediocre Hit and Run (2012)... [Full review in Spanish]

Sure, the plot is paper thin like most reboots, but CHiPs is less about the story and more about the special effects and stunt riding, which are jaw-dropping.

If it were physically possible, I would give the movie a ticket for being garbage and wasting 100 minutes of my life
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 5, 2017
A formulaic film, there are no real surprises here and it fails to cash in its chips as far as holding your interest is concerned.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 2, 2017
What a stupid, beautiful movie.

I like dumb movies, but CHIPS is worse than dumb, because it is also painfully dull.
| Aug 14, 2017
A vacuous, unfunny, dull, and vapid cesspool of nonsense.
| Jul 9, 2017
The 2012 film that revived 21 Jump Street was a funny action comedy that showed a reasonable amount of respect for the original television series. By this reckoning, Dax Shepard's CHIPS is a double failure.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 12, 2017
It's clearly struggling to be what it presumes its audience wants -- bawdy, violent, yet socially aware. But it fails because it lacks any real spark.
