I like when film novelizations or tv tie-in novels mention relationships from the film/television, but I like it when the relationships are approached the same way as they are on the show/movie, as interactions throughout the actual plot of the movie or show. I don't like when stuff loses their plot just to follow a romance, but I sometimes like a well developed relationship in a film or films that explore relationships for reasons other than pleasing the box office. I wish films didn't feel like they automatically need to have a love interest though. It always seems better if that kind of stuff comes from the chemistry, not the requirement of films of any genre having romance.
I want to read some of the Psych tie in novels, but I haven't yet. I've read a few Star Wars expanded universe a long time ago.
I think most of the movies based on books I see are ones I didn't even notice were based on books when I saw them, so I guess smaller books some of the time. I'm also more likely to watch a movie if something interests me, but I don't know too much about it. If I'm interested in a few aspects of plot/etc, I'm more likely to watch a movie because the time commitment isn't as big. Those are the times where I will read a book after a movie.

Times a million! Many movies already have more than enough plot without adding unnecessary romance. A lot of the time it's so unrealistic, too. You can definitely tell they only added "romance" so they can have a sexy scene or a woman getting undressed. *eyeroll*
I think I actually own one of the Psych tie-ins, but I haven't read it yet. :p
I'm a fast reader. Depending on the book, the time commitment isn't as big a deal for me. But there's still less effort involved in watching a movie. Plus, if I'm not sure whether I'll like it, I'd rather watch the movie. I'll be less mad if it turns out I don't like it. *g*
