Psych: The Movie

I loved TV series but that movie was really disappointing. A little bit too messy with strange plot. Sad.

I was really excited to see Psych had been continued in movie form, and for the most part that excitement was justified. As with the brilliant TV series, the show is often wildly funny and the chemistry between Shawn and Gus is perfect. The first half is everything I wanted it to be, but issues turn up after a while. The movie falls victim to the disease of guest-star-itis, squeezing in a bunch of unnecessary cameos of people I barely remember. And the final confrontation is an attempt to create something bigger and more exciting what the series did, and it falls pretty flat. The movie also, for some reason, virtually ditches the psychic schtick that was such a big part of the series. There's almost none of that Shaun-sight thing where certain items are highlighted, and the only fake psychic-ing is unconvincingly shoehorned in. The end result is something that is funny and likable but also unfocused and, even more than the series itself, very messy. If you're a Psych fan then you should definitely watch this, and if you've never seen the series you should also take a look. But this movie does not equal the best episodes of the series.

Not worth to waste my time with comments for that :((((

Psych: The Movie (2017) This is a television movie based on the dramedy series of the same name. It follows the main characters three years later in San Francisco. After Juliet's partner Sam is shot, the Psych team attempts to find out who did it, while a mysterious organization is blackmailing Juliet. It has been well received by critics. The format permits a wider format to delve into several side stories, but still maintains the quirky charm of its namesake. I wish more shows would consider doing this. We all know shows can't last forever, but occasional reunions or character cameos in other series can be cool. They use too big in the 80's. It was a really nice treat.

Eight seasons and a movie, as the saying almost goes. Psych returns with a holiday special which I was looking forward to, being a fan of the show for how well it does what it does. It is mostly a welcome return, although it is affected by the pressure to be an event, and also a bit of a lack of confidence in its own fundamentals. As a result the movie is really very busy at times - too many tick box characters showing up to not do enough. It is nice to see so many of the cast back, but at the same time there is a lot of shoe-horning in there and maybe it would have worked better if it had been more focused and kept supporting characters' time down. The plot itself isn't great, but it provides a decent enough frame for the duo to be themselves. Mostly this is enough, although it doesn't quite have the spark and freshness that it once did - again a feeling added to by weight and baggage of the characters. There are some nice laughs and enjoyable sections, certainly enough for fans who are just happy for new material - but it is far from classic Psych and it does make it feel like it needed a tighter hand to make it happen the way it needed to. The cast are all on reasonable form - although Roday and Hill don't quite gel as they have in the past, and the rest of the cast feel too present but without enough material - Fuller has a high hit rate though, but Bernsen didn't need to be there, and Omundson is hard to watch even though it is a nice gesture by the film. All told it is a so-so movie, which is patchy but offers enough to justify fans watching. If they do another I will be there for that, but will be hoping that it can be a better product than this.

For nostalgia's sake, great to see the cast reunited.

Great movie with old cast and new laughs. I was so upset when the series was canceled. It was my number one go to show while deployed in Afghanistan. Every deployment I would watch the series more than once and would turn others who have never seen the show into fans. This last deployment I left right as this movie came out and of course I had to watch the whole series again before watching the movie. I feel that's the best way to enjoy this movie is to rewatch the series. I hope some day they bring the series back. There would be so many new crimes to solve in San Francisco.

Psych is a show that had a lasting impact on the procedural genre, even if that wasn't their intention. Comedy has to be a part of every dynamic from now on and the ones that embrace it fully seem to last longer on the air than those that don't (see Castle, NCIS: LA etc.). This Psych movie was far from perfect, but it was a perfect return to the world of these crazy detectives and cops. Every character was on point and they did not miss a beat with the random cultural references (including an episode of Flight of the Conchords where Jemaine pretended to be David Bowie) or the returns of past guest stars. Funny, enjoyable, I never got bored, which is rare for a 2 hour TV movie. Glad USA did this and maybe it can become a tradition every two years or so for the network.

Sure it wasn't perfect and everything but i say so what. This is one of the most happiest I've been in a while watching a movie, and all thanks to the old gang that made millions laugh for 8 years straight. The movie isn't something you can watch without watching the 8 seasons. It starts with everything that we as psych fans came to love. One of the best TV shows, followed by the perfect movie a PSYCHO could ask for.

I'll put it nice and sweet: If you like Psych you will loooove this. Same funny writing, same performances. I don't know if other people will enjoy this as there are a lot of parts where the series is referenced and they might be lost and confused by everything. I had a blast watching it!
