Psych: The Movie

"I may make a jump for it. How many sharks do you think are in the bay?"

"At least one."

Three years after moving to San Francisco, Shaun Spencer (Roday Rodriguez) and Burton "Gus" Guster (Hill) are still investigating crimes. Shaun has designed their office to look like Gremlins, and Gus has another job so he can pay for everything. 

Life is not going as they planned. Psych is struggling. Karen Vick's (Nelson) daughter Iris (Emma Tremblay) is in trouble. And then Juliet O'Hara's (Lawson) partner, Detective Sam Sloane (Sam Huntington), is shot. Juliet refuses help from anyone, including Shaun. Despite that, Shaun decides to investigate. Can they find the culprit, who has his sights set on Juliet, before more of their friends get hurt?

This is a Peacock TV movie follow-up to the USA TV show, Psych.

The Good:

The entire main cast from the show, along with some favorites are back for the movie. The characters are older, but it feels like a natural progression from where we left them. James Roday Rodriguez's Shaun is still ridiculous, but good at what he does. Dulé Hill's Gus is the perfect scene partner for Shaun, and just the right amount of quirky. They are a great pair and play off each other well.

Timothy Omundson had a massive stroke before filming started, so he has a brief cameo. He appears in the perfect moment and brings the right amount of feelings. 

The Bad:

I wish it was a little longer. 

Other Comments:

-Peacock has made 2 more TV movies: Psych 2: Lassie Come Home and Psych 3: This is Gus.

-If you enjoyed the show, you will probably enjoy this film 

-The villains are known by the nicknames Shaun and Gus give them: the Thin White Duke (Levi), Black Gentleman Dandy (Nathan Mitchell), and Heather Rockrear (Charlotte Flair).

-I enjoyed hipster Henry and the way they incorporated McNabb (Sage Brocklebank).

-I enjoyed this film and look forward to the sequels, and look forward to more in the future.
