Psych: The Movie

I went back and watched the entire series again before watching this. "The Movie" wasn't Christmas dinner but more of a real good, satisfying late night ham sandwich. Standard Psych interactions. Fun, some good lines etc. The more negative reviews, I get. The plot was thin and it lacked any dramatic moments. Psych has the ability to bring laugh out loud moments and move you to tears moments in the same episode. Few shows do it as well. This wasn't Yin/Yang good (I hope Ally Sheedy is in the next installment), nor as good as the Despereaux or Declan Rand episodes but itt was entertaining and fun. I enjoyed seeing Zachary Levi from "Chuck" although wished he was a client rather than a bad guy. My hopes is that the second movie contains both the humor AND the emotional drama of the better episodes.

It was such a delight to hear the Psych theme song again and see the wonderful cast, including James Roday, Dule Hill, Maggie Lawson, Kristen Nelson, Corbin Bernsen, and Kurt Fuller. The only one missing was Carlton "Lassie" Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) who actually did appear when Maggie contacted him by phone.

When the film begins, it is three years later, and the whole group is now working in San Francisco. Shawn (Roday) continues to search for the engagement ring he wanted to give Juliet (Lawson), Gus (Hill) has a beautiful stalker, and someone is out to get Maggie.

There are the usual one-liners, the singing in harmony, and some familiar villains, including a hilarious bit at the end of the film. There's a scene in a closed insane asylum and one in Alcatraz. All par for the course.

I really miss these guys. I think today we need to laugh more than we ever have, and the Psych group belongs on the landscape. Thankfully, I don't think this is the last time we'll see them.

It's stupid, cheesy, and just as I'd expected. It's a great way to see your favorite characters' storylines continued and their antics played out. There were many times I laughed out loud and I found the mystery storyline to be interesting enough for what I expected. The writing, especially the dialogue, is extremely clever with its movie references and the movie is a great way to have a good time.

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.

This movie is for the fans, it feels like a continuation of the show, like an extra finale. It's great seeing the characters back, sad but understandable we didn't get to see Lassie, but he makes a brief cameo

People who haven't seen the show wont really get this movie. It doesn't stand on its own as a movie, it makes callbacks to the series & just feels like a longer episode

If you're a fan I'd recommend watching this, if you've never seen the show I'd recommend season 1 episode 1
