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.

It was a great "sequel" to the series finale. The main cast knocks it out of the park. For the psych fans, in the first episode Shawn helps the police get a guy who busted a tail light because fragments were in his shoe. That same guy is then interrogated in the movie by the people chasing Shawn. Great cameo for us psych fans.
... View MorePsych: 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.
... View MoreOK, maybe this one would be better titled a "bias" review.You see, the TV show had this thing where it made me laugh out loud at least once an episode. At LEAST. And honestly, there aren't that many shows that have really made me laugh out loud.And then, well, James Roday and Dulé Hill are just brilliant together, hands down the best comedic duo I've seen in a VERY long time.So...walking into this, well, I had high expectations and, I kind of already knew I was going to love it...Except...Timothy Omundson, breaks the heart about his stroke and he was missed, a lot, because, yeah, he was hysterical too.And, as in the the TV show, the only week part is really Maggie Lawson and that's not her fault, she just...the straight one. She does a good job, but with Roday and Hill sharing scenes with her, it's hard for her to get out of those shadows.Still, "Shawn stop talking," she has her moments.And the same pretty much stands for this movie as well. Everyone is hysterical, Roday and Hill play off one another to great effect, and poor Lawson is stuck playing it straight while Corbin, Fuller, and the rest get to ham it up until, well, until you're laughing.Really, they came back without missing a beat. It was like they were all made for their roles.AND...did I mention it was funny, like really funny? Isn't that the most important part? I laughed out loud again. It was hysterical, just like the show and...just reminded me how much I missed it.So funny that there were scenes you just had to rewind a few times.Just so funny and, with shows like this, that is all that matters.It was really like seeing old friends again.
