Plot Summary

A reboot of the classic TV series, CHIPS follows two un-matched California Highway Patrolmen, the strait-laced rookie Frank "Ponch" Poncherello and the veteran hotshot Jon Baker. As they go on patrol, they uncover a major heist ring that is hitting car dealerships across Los Angeles.

Critical Reception

CHIPS received generally negative reviews from critics and was a box office disappointment. While some critics appreciated its R-rated comedic take and the chemistry between its leads, many found the humor to be crude and juvenile, the plot nonsensical, and the action sequences uninspired.

What Reviewers Say

Google audience: Google users found the film to be a messy and unfunny comedy, with many criticizing its excessive R-rated humor and weak storyline. While a few enjoyed the action, the majority felt it was a disappointing adaptation that missed the mark.

Fun Fact
