One of the wrost movies I have ever seen

A Masterpiece!

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Not affiliated with the series except Eric Estrata being included but for a child of the seventies, it was a funny rendition. Props to Michael Pina and Dax Shapard for caring a badly written version of the series.

I started watching this thinking, ok, here comes the classic CHIPS music, and no, we get a rock song to open the film. Then I saw that the two stars weren't together yet and would have to build chemistry and then maybe we'd get the music. Nope. We here the chips theme maybe 3 or 4 times during the movie, for about 5-10 seconds each time, usually in the background. Why? Who would make such a stupid decision NOT to use the iconic, classic chips soundtrack? Then I started waiting for all the cameos, I thought I could sit through all the ass and dick jokes if they threw in the old actors. Nope. We get Eric Estrada in the final scene, but that is it. When they pull over Ed Begley, jr. early on, I was thinking, was he one of the original chips that worked with Jon and Ponch? But no, he wasn't. That could just have easily have been Larry Wilcox or Michael Dorn. All they had to do was try, and they didn't. When I saw where this movie was going - a young teen audience, I kept thinking, why did they get the R rating then? They through nudity in the film in order to get a rating so their target audience couldn't go see the film! I looked the film up on IMDB today to check the cast, to make sure I didn't miss a cameo or something...nope, not there. I heard the movie was no good, but I watched it for nostalgic purposes and I came away empty handed, so I took one for the rest of us, now you know.

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.

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.
