Years after walking away from her past as a teenage private eye, Veronica Mars gets pulled back to her hometown - just in time for her high school reunion - in order to help her old flame Logan, who's embroiled in a murder mystery. On the eve of graduating law school, Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) has put Neptune and her amateur sleuthing days behind her. While interviewing at high-end law firms, Veronica gets a call from her ex-boyfriend Logan (Jason Dohring) who has been accused of murder. Veronica heads back to Neptune just to help Logan find an attorney, but when things don't seem right with how Logan's case is perceived and handled, Veronica finds herself being pulled back into a life she thought she had left behind. Based on the popular TV series of the same name. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

That's how it goes when kids play grown-ups and embark on solving tricky crimes. It’s as believable as a fool, and it doesn't even remotely resemble the mystery genre. The romantic storyline didn't help either, as it was pretty bad. I haven't seen the series, and after watching this movie, I certainly won't be wasting my time with it. (40%)

People say I'm a marshmallow. And when I see how many people boast in their reviews that they never followed the series but eagerly jumped on the movie and then had no idea what was going on, so they give it a low rating, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the (lack of) intelligence of the individual reviewers. But let sleeping dogs lie. The film, which was originally supposed to be a slipshod gift for the fans, is an ode to one of the most adored teenage series and an unbelievably precise work. The decision to develop the case around the high school reunion, though unfortunate because it revolves around characters that nobody really remembers – and the real players Wallace, Mac, and Weevil have (as in any great plot) only a symbolic role, but works perfectly on the personal level. Despite the surprisingly abundant involvement of Piz, who never grew close to my heart. Perhaps that's why it is so obvious who was always the right one for Veronica and who the overwhelming majority of viewers will always want to see her with, even though the analogy with another dose of drugs surprisingly lands. As Jason Dohring himself said, "higher highs, lower lows". All of this would probably work even better in the form of a miniseries, but I believe that seven years after the series was cancelled, such a morsel had to feel like fresh water for all Marshmallows everywhere.

I was pleasantly surprised that the film is understandable even for those who have never seen the series, which includes me. It serves as an introduction where basic information is succinctly and simply summarized. The whole film revolves around a case that Veronica and her friends solve. It also touches on her future a bit, and there's a sense of nostalgia throughout, but it's something that only fans will truly appreciate. In the end, it's a fairly pleasant film that won't offend anyone but probably won't impress much either.
