I have not watched the Veronica Mars series, so I can't make the comparison. I know the gist of it, though. Veronica was a teenage private eye in a fictional town that looked suspiciously like a suburb of Los Angeles. There were a lot of connections with the people there and the film brings back a lot of the actors from the series.
Now, about the movie. It wasn't that bad. The kind of ScoobyDoobish intrigue was a little bit annoying, but overall it made sense. Veronica Mars returns to her hometown, even if she just landed a great job in New York, in order to help a friend accused of murder. I am not spoiling anything if I am saying she solves the case. The ending also lends to a sequel.
My conclusion: average film, probably better suited for fans of the series.
