A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I honestly don't see why people tend to bash this movie, unless they have no funny bone in their entire body. I found it hilarious, more than most comedy's coming out these days. Also the action was top notch, and done extremely well. I for one thoroughly enjoyed it, easy 8 out of 10 for a action comedy.

I get the impression that the people who left negative reviews did not understand what type of movie they were getting into. The first thing you need to understand before watching this movie is that it was written and directed by Dax Sheppard. With that in mind, you should expect a certain type of comedy given his background. And if you enjoy his type of comedy, than this is a can't miss. For someone with no acting experience prior to being cast on punk'd, Sheppard has built himself a pretty decent resume, and to his credit, become a talented actor, writer, and director. My main takeaway from this movie, aside from the fact that it is hilarious, was that Michael Pena is an incredibly versatile actor, and is just as talented in the comedic genre as he is in the dramatic genre. He steals the show in the movie. Dax Sheppard is his typical endearing self, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. If you like his work, it's definitely worth a watch.

I remember watching the original Chips, but just barely. Usually remaking these old shows into a movie is a bad idea, but I thought it could have been done well. They started with a pretty good cast...but that's it. The story is typical, their should have been way more laughs and stunts, and as usual, they tend to lean toward crudeness, which I'm sure was never a part of the show. They also redid Baywatch this year, and though it also wasn't great, it was better than this.

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.
