Leave your thoughts about CHiPs.
| Entertainment WeeklyDevan CogganWhile CHIPS sure is goofy, it falls flat compared to other buddy-cop comedies in its genre, relying too heavily on unpleasant sex jokes (often revolving around gay panic) and a nonsensical crime plot. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkShepard’s screenplay only feels a few drafts away from something that might have worked. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderUneven, veering from scathing humor to patience-trying nonsense and back again, but it winds up just barely on this side of the thin blue line between good and bad. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA vulgar but funny enough departure from the classic TV series to warrant recommending. |
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferIn a low-life kind of silly way, the real laughs come from oversized personality clashes, hysterically pitched fights and a general awakening between our two misfits that they like each other. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfHow bad could "CHiPs" be? There are more references to analingus than there are motorcycle chases. |
| Tribune News ServiceKatie WalshThe jokes are dirty and wildly inappropriate, but are thoughtfully played. |
| Total FilmJames MottramAll hot wheels and dick jokes, it’s fun but forgettable. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonThe new movie version of CHIPS is smart to have jettisoned just about everything about the original, except the basic plot ... |
| MovieWebJulian RomanCHiPs is hilarious. Dax Shepard and Michael Pena breathe life into the tired and stale buddy cop genre. I laughed myself silly from start to finish. |
