In this week’s Happy Hour review, I’m drinking beer, eating chips and salsa and talking CHiPS, a mindless, raucous comedy loosely based on the popular ’70s TV show.
Suffice to say, the plot doesn’t really matter that much (Shepard is Jon Baker, a former motorcycle racing star turned rookie CHiPs officer, and Michael Pena is Frank “Ponch” Poncherello, an FBI agent going undercover to ferret out crooked California Highway Patrol officers). It’s really about Shepard, who wrote and directed the comedy, and Pena and their fun chemistry.
Watch my review!
