I'm a big fan of the Veronica Mars TV show. I didn't back the project on Kickstarter but I am devoted enough to have travelled ninety minutes away to the closest cinema that was playing this movie. I'm happy to say that it was certainly worth the journey as Veronica Mars is a perfect piece of fan service.
This movie feels exactly like an episode of Veronica Mars, which is perfect. As much as I love the show, it's undeniable that the finale was very unsatisfying. The movie fixes that by finally giving some closure, with plenty of references back to the show that will make fans very happy. The characters have changed as we would expect them to in the nine years that have passed since the show ended, but they still maintain parts of their old personalities that we came to love in the show. The writing is sharp, hilarious and the plot is like that of a classic Veronica Mars episode.
Kristen Bell is one of my favourite actresses because of her Veronica Mars portrayal, and she continues to perfectly embody the character in the movie. Jason Dohring is great as usual, and Ryan Hansen is very funny as he always is. It's great to finally see so many actors from the show return as these beloved characters, with cast members like Chris Lowell, Percy Daggs III, Tina Majorini, Francis Capra and Enrico Colantoni all giving excellent performances. There are also some surprise cameos, one of which was completely unexpected but was very funny.
Rob Thomas gives perfect direction, as, like said above, the movie feels exactly like an episode of the show, just with higher production values. I have huge respect for the way in which this movie was made by Kickstarter, as it opened up a new world of possibilities for cinema that many other filmmakers are now exploring. This movie is 107 minutes long, yet time flew by. I was praying that the movie wouldn't end because I was enjoying it so much. In fact, that's where my main problem with this movie comes in, which is that there wasn't more of it. Although this certainly gave more closure than the season three finale, I was still left wanting more. I doubt that will ever change as Veronica Mars is my third favourite TV show, but here's hoping we see another movie or even something along the lines of a Netflix series in the future.
Although Veronica Mars is perfect for fans of the show, I'm not sure as to how accessible it will be to non-fans. If you've never watched the show you will probably still be able to enjoy the movie,but you won't understand it as much as those who are familiar with the show will. The only reason I'm not giving this movie a perfect score is because of that, as this movie gave me absolutely everything I wanted from a Veronica Mars movie. Call me biased, but I completely adored Veronica Mars.
