Movie Title: CHiPs
Grade: F
Rating: R, 101 minutes
In a Nutshell: I rarely give a movie an F score, but I thought this movie was a true piece of garbage with very little uplifting value worth noting. It’s a gutter movie.
If you want to watch this movie through a filter that cleans up the profanity, violence, and scenes with sexual or other offensive material, this would be a 2 minute clip.
You’re better off watching the original TV series. You can start with CHiPs: The Complete Sixth Season

Uplifting theme:
- Friendship, persistence, loyalty
Things I liked:
- Michael Pena and Dax Shepard have good chemistry together, but are so much more talented than this film allows them to display.
- Fans of the original CHiPs TV show will get a kick out of the surprise cameo at the end.
- I liked seeing Kristen Bell and Maya Rudolph, although both of them play very minor roles and have extremely short screen time. Why would they sign on to be in such a disgusting film? Oh yeah…money.
Things I didn’t like:
- The two main cops are terrible role models. One is an egotistical, disrespectful sex addict and the other is a slovenly, reckless opiate addict.
- A LOT of crude humor and offensive material.
- Lots of screaming and arguing.
- I’m so sick of yoga pants. Women and girls don’t seem to see how immodest they are.
- It’s not funny. It’s offensive in so many ways.
Funny lines:
- “I’m kind of powerless when it comes to yoga pants.” – Frank “Ponch” Poncerello (Michael Pena)
- “Hot and helpful? See, it doesn’t have to be both.” – Frank “Ponch” Poncherello
Tips for parents:
- LOTS of profanity and F-bombs.
- A VERY close-up text picture of a topless woman and another of a fully naked woman.
- Talk of homophobia.
- You see a peek of a naked man in front and other men from behind. LOTS of crotch shots.
- Addictions of various kinds.
- Lots of violence and destruction.
- Trash talk in Spanish, mostly without subtitles.
- Quick glance of a naked man’s rear having sex.
- Adultery
- It’s just disgusting. Don’t let your kids watch it. If they’re interested in cop shows, choose something else.
