Review-Veronica Mars(2014)

Veronica Mars is the big screen debut/update of the popular television show that ran from 2004-2007. Before you ask, you can still watch  the movie without ever watching the show(but it is more enjoyable if you have). The story centers around Veronica Mars(Kristen Bell), who was a private investigator at the age of 18. Throughout high school and into college, it seems that trouble would follow wherever she went.  As Veronica moved away from her home town and the drama that surrounded her, her life got better. On the eve of her becoming a lawyer at a prestige law firm, her ex boyfriend Logan Echolls(Jason Dohring) is accused of murdering his girlfriend. The timing of helping clear his name and the school's ten year reunion draws Veronica back into the home town she tried to avoid. For those who were waiting for Veronica Mars to come to the theaters, you won't be disappointed.The movie structure flows so you can walk into it for the first time and not miss a beat. If you like a murder mystery with a lot of humor and charm into it, you should definitely watch Veronica Mars. For the fans of the show, there are a lot of returning faces and references made that will make you laugh and smile. There are times when certain scenes/actions taken might seem out of place but it won't stop you from enjoying the film.

Rating: 9.0 out of ten

P.S. If you  are a fan of the show Freaks and Geeks, there is a few hidden(or not so hidden) moments in the movie for you.
