Plot Summary

A strict, by-the-book FBI agent goes undercover as a Highway Patrolman in Los Angeles to investigate a series of daring robberies. He is partnered with a reckless, immature officer who seems to care more about his motorcycles and women than the law. The unlikely duo must put aside their differences to catch the criminals and save the day, often with chaotic and comedic results.

Critical Reception

CHiPs was met with generally negative reviews from critics, who found the humor hit-or-miss and criticized the plot for being uninspired. Audiences were also largely unimpressed, with many feeling it failed to capture the spirit of the original television series.

What Reviewers Say

  • The film's humor is often crude and relies heavily on slapstick and lowbrow jokes.
  • Many critics found the plot derivative and predictable, failing to offer anything new to the action-comedy genre.
  • While Michael Peña's comedic timing was occasionally praised, the chemistry between the leads and the overall execution fell short.

Google audience: Audiences were divided, with some appreciating the comedic efforts of Michael Peña and Dax Shepard, while others found the film juvenile, lacking in substance, and a disappointing adaptation.

Fun Fact

Dax Shepard, who also directed and co-wrote the film, performed many of his own stunts on motorcycles, drawing from his personal passion for riding.
