Raunchy and vulgar movie to avoid
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Dax Shepard (‘Hit and Run,’ TV’s ‘Parenthood’) and Michael Peña (‘The Martian’) star in Warner Bros. Pictures’ action comedy CHiPs. Shepard also directs from a script he penned based on the characters from the popular ‘70s television series created by Rick Rosner.
Jon Baker (Shepard) and Frank ‘Ponch’ Poncherello (Peña) have just joined the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in Los Angeles but for very different reasons. Baker is a beaten up pro motorbiker trying to put his life and marriage back together. Poncherello is a cocky undercover Federal agent investigating a multi-million dollar heist that may be an inside job—inside the CHP.
The inexperienced rookie and hardened pro are teamed together, but clash more than click, so kickstarting a partnership is easier said than done. But with Baker’s bike skills combined with Ponch’s street savvy it might just work…if they don’t drive each other crazy along the way.
The two middle-aged cops soon find themselves in a situation like none other, when a sadistic ex-cop (played by Vincent D'Onofrio) and his motor vehicle theft hitmen wreak havoc throughout their city.”
