Psych: The Movie

psych the movie totally complements the series and at the same time stands on it's own. The old gang back in action brings laughs and wakens the love for the series. Guaranteed every psych-o and non-psych-o will love it. Definitely comedy highlight of 2017. Though it's been three years since series finale, it seems like psych never left. Still goofy and brilliant psych is back in it's glory. I hope this movie is not the last.

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.

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.

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.

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
