About

'Kristen Bell reprises the sassy sleuth role she played for three TV seasons. She's as sharp, engaging and witty as ever. Maturity has only made her more charming. Directed by series creator Rob Thomas the film works as a suspense thriller, and also as a gentle send-up of the genre. It's effective as a sequel to the television series and works just as well as a stand-alone film.

Veronica (Bell) has just graduated from Stanford Law School and seems on her way to an illustrious career at a high-powered New York law firm. But a shocking murder of a former high school classmate lures her back to the sleepy, corrupt, beach town of Neptune, Calif., much to the chagrin of her loving dad, Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni).'
