An absolute waste of money

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

After a 15-year self-imposed retirement from the CHP, Ponch reunites with his partner Jon to break up a car-theft ring in this reunion TV movie entitled,CHiPs '99.This lighthearted action-adventure is set from where the old show left off. Jon and Ponch have not been partners for years.But when a car theft ring starts to do a puzzling series of car thefts,they get reunited to solve this mystery. Part of the fun of the show is watching the two leads as they try to adjust to the innovations of modern police work, including new bikes and wireless radios that keep them in constant contact with their senior officer.While there was a lot to be desired from this TV movie considering that it feels so out-of-date when it was shown as compared to when the TV series was still on the air,it felt somewhat fun to see both Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada reprise their roles as Jon and Ponch respectively for loyal fans of the said TV cop series.

During the show's final season, the character of Jon Baker left the CHP and was in Wyoming with his father. And Ponch was there with a new partner, Bobby Nelson. Eventually, his brother, Bruce would become Ponch's new partner. First off, it was strange that Bruce was there and Bobby wasn't, and he wasn't even mentioned. And as I said Jon was the one who left and Ponch stayed, so why was it that Jon was the one who was now the Captain and Ponch was the one who came back. It doesn't make much sense to me. Unless you are not that devout a follower of the show. Like on EIGHT IS ENOUGH, one the characters was an actress for most the series' run but during the final season tried out broadcast journalism. But when the reunion movie came out, she was an actress again.

I just kind of ran into this movie one morning -- I'm a big cynic, and was never a big CHiPs fan, either -- but I found this movie quite engaging. It doesn't take itself too seriously and it's just plain fun.

I think CHiPS '99 was a lot of fun! No profanity, no sex, and Judge Judy of all people making a guest appearance! The action scenes are of course, very exciting to watch. It was also fun to see what happened in Jon and Ponch's lives since 1983. It was incredible that Larry Wilcox did all of his own stunts on top of a moving tour bus! Way to go!
