The one when I made a movie

Veronic Mars: The Movie
Starring: Kristen Bell, Jason Dohring and Enrico Colatoni

Okay, so maybe the title’s a bit misleading, but hear me out. Remember that time I wrote about the Veronica Mars movie? Well, then I went and watched it.

And oh, my god, I loved it.

It’s ten years after the television show aired, and Veronica’s just about to finish law school. About to start completely new, she is dragged back into the life of a private eye that she had tried to leave behind. When her old high school flame, Logan Echolls’ pop star girlfriend is murdered, and he’s the main suspect, Veronica must return to her corrupt home town of Neptune, California. But as she tries to exonerate him, she gets pulled in deeper than she ever could have anticipated.

I was apprehensive, but it did not disappoint.  The movie was very faithful to the original series, with a very good and realistic plot arc. The acting was consistently good across the board as were the characters, who were incredibly believable as ten-years-later manifestations of the characters. The dialogue was very tight and consistent with the TV series, full with the trademark Veronica Mars wit and sarcasm. I think that it also holds up as a stand alone movie, however as a fan of the series, I was very happy to catch all the inside jokes and references to the TV show.

I don’t know if I can think of anything negative to say about it. It was over all very well executed and made me incredibly proud to have played even a small part in it coming to pass.

So binge watch the TV Show, and then go see the movie.
