Leave your thoughts about Veronica Mars.
| The American ConservativeEve TushnetVeronica Mars, the movie, hits the romance too hard but keeps both the humanity and the noir edge. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirPerhaps you need to be a lover of the original series to fully appreciate this latest effort. |
| Seventh RowAlex HeeneyThere are no perfectly happy endings in noir, but if this is the last word on Veronica Mars, it's a fitting and even hopeful one, but it also opens up some great possibilities for the future of the franchise. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzI can't imagine anyone who liked the show not enjoying this film, even though the first half is stronger than the second, which spirals into a frenzy of double- and triple-crossing that's less engaging than watching the characters reconnect, awkwardly but with feeling. |
| Film School RejectsChristopher CampbellThere have been photo spreads in Entertainment Weekly of old TV casts brought back together that have provided as much satisfaction, for a whole lot less money. |
| Christianity TodayKenneth R. MorefieldThe plot is about clearing Logan. But the movie itself is about Veronica coming to terms with her identity. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanAs directed by series creator Rob Thomas, the movie, like the show, is entertainingly fast-talking in a tidy, faux-serious way. Kristen Bell, if anything, has only gained in appeal. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdFor the most part, Veronica Mars plays like a very solid episode of the series, the kind unlikely to rank among fan favorites. It could, however, serve as fine fuel for a sequel, one that wouldn’t find Veronica resisting — for half of her time on screen — the urge to do what she does best. Keep your hearts (and wallets) open, marshmallows. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunFor devotees of the much loved series, this long-awaited Veronica Mars feature film is a five-star proposition. For everyone else, Veronica Mars is a pleasant diversion. |
| Fresno BeeRick BentleyThomas Wolfe professed you can't go home again. Veronica Mars proves him wrong. This trip back to her old mystery-solving stomping ground is pleasantly entertaining for the uniformed and a perfect thank you to all of the loyal fans. |
