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.

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.

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.
