"When number one daughter was young, her skills were sharp like blade of sword. Now, brain dull like blade of plow." (Keith Mars)
I admit that I enjoyed season 1 of Veronica Mars the show, half to 3/4 of season 2 and basically none of season 3. Which is uncontrollably awesome for a series on the CW about a pintsized very attractive high school, and then regrettably college, super sleuth. Quirky, fun background characters, and occasionally epic writing.
The Veronica Mars movie is lovably more of the same chemistry, tone, and writing that made the show a hit in the first place. Unfortunately, it was nothing more. It was like to going to a Phish concert again in your mind for the third time. Good vibes Man. Good vibes. And just like in any good reunion tour, the band can't stop until its played all the hits. In this case, this meant the movie meandered through finding tangential and plot related ways to include basically every fan favorite character for a cameo. Everyone. I mean everyone.
So relax, enjoy, slip on a comfy pair of slippers and eat some Cherry Garcia with a spoon. Binge on the series and then enjoy the reunion bus tour.
On a scale of UNNECESSARY to a demand curve of infinity, I give the Veronica Mars movie an "I'm glad this was made" out of 5 stars.
