murphybnl Yes, it's a goof-fest. Yes, it's pervy. Yes, it's campy and low budget. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE! We enjoyed it immensely. The humor is right up our alley. It reminds us of a Mel Brooks movie. Inaccuracies? Of course. Do you have ANY idea how inaccurate the locations in the series were? We love Dax and Kristin.

mads_jacob It is a movie about finding your way in the world when living with undiagnosed aspergers, a.k.a. high functioning autism. In an unilkely turn of events the two main characters are pit together against a group of bad cops, their bully ringleader, and his dope fiend son. While fighting with the comorbidities of autism the two heroes, who are wonderfully portraied by Michael Pena and Dax Shepard, grows in understanding of eachother, their particular illness, and their own path to happiness.Not since the classic Dumb Dumber has there been a deeper, more loving and authentic portrayal of living with autism.

mgratk It's really a shame, the film could have been good, but it 100% missed the heart of the original. Much in the same way as the Dukes of Hazard abomination did, it went for cheap 14 year old kid humor and zero of the heart of the original, missing out on all of what made the original characters. There were good ideas, Ponch being FBI, Jon being a former racer, a decent villian, but it was all just wasted. I wish I could forget this movie.

grantss An FBI agent goes undercover in the California Highway Patrol as officer Frank "Ponch" Poncherello. Members of the CHP have been robbing cash delivery vehicles and his job is to uncover the perpetrators. At the CHP he is partnered with a 30-something rookie, Jon Baker. Baker is a former professional motorcycle rider with a list of ailments and personal problems who is lucky to be in the CHP. They are very different people and immediately clash.I enjoyed the original CHIPS, the TV series, as a kid. My expectations for this movie weren't too high but initially it went very well. Quite funny, un-PC and fun. Michael Pena, with his particular brand of humour, was great as Ponch and gave the movie the energy and fun it needed. The crime drama side wasn't too bad either.However, from a point (unfortunately nearer the beginning than the end) the writers and director ran out of ideas and resorted to cliché and formula. The humour got weaker and more juvenile, the drama became a series of standard car chases and shoot-outs. Truly funny moments became fewer and further between and watching became a chore.In the end I wished I hadn't bothered.
