The main appeal of the movie is what drew viewers to the show--snappy dialogue, a truly great bromance, and enough references to satisfy the most obsessive of pop culture geeks.
Three years may have passed, but Psych's return doesn't feel "too-soon" or in any way tired. It feels like a just-right dose of cheer at the holidays, even if it's only tied to them by timing and some Christmas trees in the background.
Its brand of zany, self-referential comedy isn’t for everyone. But those who enjoyed the USA series in the past will likely revel in more of the same in this fizzy outing, in part because the main characters actually care about each other, and the cast does a fine job of conveying that.
Their [Shawn and Gus'] singsong buddy banter is still the best reason to watch. It's certainly not the plotting carrying this lightweight caper. [27 Nov - 10 Dec 2017, p.9]
In truth, the movie isn’t quite up there with some of the more memorable episodes from the show, but whether you’re a veteran pineapple-head or a newcomer to the silliness, Psych: The Movie is welcome comic relief.
