The truth is in here.

An FBI agent has been abducted and as usual they're stumped.
The only lead they have to the missing agent is convicted pedophile Father Joseph Fitzpatrick Crissma (Billy Connolly) who seems to have a psychic connection to the missing FBI agent.
Due to the unusual nature of the case, FBI Agent Dakota Whitney (Amanda Peet) has little choice but to call in the experts, mush to the annoyance of her skeptical partner Agent Mosley Drummy (Alvin "Xzibit" Joiner).

So in step in Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). Scully is now a doctor at a Catholic hospital and is reluctant to assist in the investigation because of an on-going case with a terminally-ill boy at the hospital and she claims she's "left the FBI life" behind her. Mulder on the other hand is ready to jump in full-force because he lives for nothing but the strange but he has also relied on Scully's participation over the years. So how will it turn out now that they both have different views and have their own demons to chase?

I used to be a fan of the show. It was pretty okay sometimes. Yeah sure sometimes it was pretty stupid but most of the time it was pretty interesting to watch.
And like most of the TV shows made into movies (like this year's Sex & The City), this was just another extended episode.
The problem with that was - this was one of the sucky episodes.

Some parts were pretty okay. But for the most part of it they were just trying to full up spaces so they have enough filmed to make the movies.
The castings of Amanda Peet, Xzibit and Billy Connolly were horrendous mistakes and the script was actually pretty shite.
And they are picking up from where the first movie left off. Worse.

I think the only people who should watch are people who are fans / have been following the TV show (so you know what's going on).
The problem with that is that the people who are fans / have been following the TV show will be sorely disappointed.

Final Verdict:
