Seven years after teenage detective Veronica Mars (Bell) left her home town of Neptune, California, she finds herself lured back to her high school’s ten year reunion when her ex-boyfriend Logan Echolls (Dohring) is accused of killing his current girlfriend. Veronica starts investigating the truth about the murder, and discovers that the killing goes back to an incident back in high school that resulted in another student’s death.

Fans of the show that ran in the mid to late naughties will love seeing their favourite characters back, this time on the big screen. The main problem is that many of them don’t get enough screen time, mainly due to how vast the cast was in the show. Thankfully, Veronica hasn’t changed much in her almost a decade of absence, and is still the nosy little sleuth we all knew and loved. Those new to the character shouldn’t have too much of a problem getting up to speed, as there is something of a recap in the opening credits, but this is well and truly made for the fan base.
