Veronica, az egykori tinidetektív lassan befejezi a jogi egyetemet. A barátjával, Pízzel él New Yorkban, és mostanában a menő ügyvédi irodákba járkál állásinterjúra, hogy megalapozza jövőjét. Egy nap Veronica váratlan telefonhívást kap. Az egykori barátja, Logan nagy bajba került, azzal vádolják, hogy megölte a barátnőjét. Veronica hazautazik Neptune-ba, hogy segítsen neki találni védőügyvédet, de végül saját kezébe veszi az ügyet. Idővel egyre inkább úgy érzi, hiányzik neki az az élet, amit itthagyott. (HBO Europe)

People say I'm a marshmallow. And when I see how many people boast in their reviews that they never followed the series but eagerly jumped on the movie and then had no idea what was going on, so they give it a low rating, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the (lack of) intelligence of the individual reviewers. But let sleeping dogs lie. The film, which was originally supposed to be a slipshod gift for the fans, is an ode to one of the most adored teenage series and an unbelievably precise work. The decision to develop the case around the high school reunion, though unfortunate because it revolves around characters that nobody really remembers – and the real players Wallace, Mac, and Weevil have (as in any great plot) only a symbolic role, but works perfectly on the personal level. Despite the surprisingly abundant involvement of Piz, who never grew close to my heart. Perhaps that's why it is so obvious who was always the right one for Veronica and who the overwhelming majority of viewers will always want to see her with, even though the analogy with another dose of drugs surprisingly lands. As Jason Dohring himself said, "higher highs, lower lows". All of this would probably work even better in the form of a miniseries, but I believe that seven years after the series was cancelled, such a morsel had to feel like fresh water for all Marshmallows everywhere.

I was quite surprised that the movie is understandable even for those who have never seen the series, which is also my case. It is also an introduction where basic information is briefly and simply summarized. The whole movie is then one case that Veronica and her friends solve, a little bit of her future is also discussed, there is a sense of nostalgia in it, but only fans will truly appreciate it. In the end, it's a fairly enjoyable movie that won't offend, but probably won't impress much either.

That's how it goes when kids play grown-ups and embark on solving tricky crimes. It’s as believable as a fool, and it doesn't even remotely resemble the mystery genre. The romantic storyline didn't help either, as it was pretty bad. I haven't seen the series, and after watching this movie, I certainly won't be wasting my time with it. (40%)
