Film: Veronica Mars










GENRE: Crime/Drama
RATING: PG for some violence, sexuality and language
RUNTIME: 1 hour and 47 minutes
STARRING: Kristen Bell (Frozen, Forgetting Sarah Marshall )
Jason Dohring (series), Enrico Colantoni (Flashpoint, Remedy)
DIRECTOR: Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars series)
WRITERS: Thomas & Diane Ruggiero (series)
PLOT: Veronica reluctantly returns to Neptune to help out Logan Echolls who is accused of murdering a pop star.

FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1 This was basically a glorified two part episode of Veronica Mars and that was fine with me. I think I would have been disappointed if it didn’t look like a classic Veronica Mars episode. All the elements were present which made me happy.
2 I loved that everyone returned for the movie. While some got more screen time than others, I enjoyed that all the characters had some great moments.
3 Dick Casablancas (Ryan Hansen) stole every single scene he was in. I hear they are making a web series for him. Awesome.
4 Martin Starr (Freaks & Geeks, Party Down) used to look extremely nerdy and now was hardly recognizable as Cobb.
5 Enjoyed the James Franco cameo. Very funny.

RECOMMENDATION: See in theatres marshmallows.
UPCOMING REVIEWS: Grand Budapest Hotel
