CHIPS Reviews
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
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
| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 12, 2017
A disclaimer reads "The California Highway Patrol does not endorse this film". It's hard to imagine anyone does.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 5, 2017
The investigation is dull, the jokes dispiritingly flat-footed, with Ponch's sex addiction and squirminess over male intimacy supplying most of the setups for CHIPS's puerile humor.
| Original Score: .5/5 | Mar 30, 2017
The harsh reality is that it's not very funny at all.

While I clearly cannot recommend this film, I have to admit there were a couple of amusing moments.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 27, 2017
Brainless action comedies are one of the great pleasures in cinema, but only when they're crafted with more care and intelligence than this.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 26, 2017
A staggeringly unfunny comedy, the film mines homophobia, accidental decapitation and the objectification of women for lols.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 25, 2017
I'm actually kind of shocked there aren't more homophobic gags here.

"Neither here nor there" is also a great description of CHIPS, which always seems to be on its way somewhere else. It never gets there.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 24, 2017
Starsky & Hutch and 21 Jump Street, for instance, were a hoot. Hollywood should have quit while it was ahead, though, because CHiPs is the antithesis of a hoot.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 24, 2017
A buddy film about overcompensating characters that seems to have also been made by overcompensating comedians.
| Original Score: .5/4 | Mar 24, 2017
It's not uniquely bad, nor so bad it's good. It's factually, quantifiably bad. Overcooked, underdressed, sloppy, indigestible: just your classic crap hamburger of a movie.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Mar 24, 2017
It already feels like a rerun.
| Original Score: D | Mar 24, 2017
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.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 24, 2017
Unlike some contrived or cynical rehashes of old 온라인카지노추천 series, this one has no pretensions. It's escapism with a capital E: a funny, energetic, enjoyably ragged buddy movie with lots and lots of car-chase action

I found myself curling over in such a paralysing cringe, my body had to be rolled out of the cinema afterwards like a dented bicycle wheel.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 23, 2017
Given the alternative between the big-screen CHIPS and an antiquated, low-stakes episode of the original 온라인카지노추천 series, we'd pick the latter in a heartbeat.
| Original Score: D+ | Mar 23, 2017
Both Shepard and Pena are likable actors, and they do have chemistry together... But good-natured chemistry isn't enough to lift CHiPs anywhere near the ranks of the Lethal Weapons and Bad Boys that Shepard claimed to be aiming for.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 23, 2017
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.
