The inherent problem with any movie from a T. V. Series is that it inevitably ends up feeling like just another T. V. episode. Not saying that's a bad thing, I happen to be a huge fan of Psych, or "Psycho" as we call ourselves. But even as a psycho I would say that this is just another episode, and to be honest not even one of their best episodes.
The movie has moments that take our two main characters a few too many steps past over the top. The opening scene with Lassie and a scene where the two argue about a purse in the bathroom are prime examples. The movie also has a lot of loose ends that they never tie up. It feels like 4 different characters have story arcs that don't get any satisfactory pay off. This may be fine if it were a T. V. series and those plot points would be resolved in later episodes. But as a movie, it just seems like they are sequel baiting.
All that being said, this movie was very funny. It had double digit number of times that a joke would make me laugh embarrassingly loud. For every joke that I think went on too long, there were about 2 more jokes that hit their mark just right.
Much like the crime solving duo themselves, the movie may take a while to get to the solution, but it always manages to get the job done in the end.
