If you like the cartoon "Hey Arnold" how can you not enjoy this episode? As is the case with most Nickelodeon films this movie is basically a long episode of the TV show. The characters are the same, the plot is similar and it is quite enjoyable. I think children or adults would like this movie.

4 Out Of 5 Stars.

This movie wasn't bad. It was a typical Hey, Arnold! affair:

-Arnold uses his usual level-headed point of view
-Helga teases Arnold about how "pathetic" he is (but we all know how that *really* goes)!
-Gerald assists Arnold in almost whatever he does, but doesn't stand by as an empty tool

But the movie has a premise: Arnold and his friends have to protect the city from losing a big part of itself because ATi, a new and big corporation wants to come in and tear it down; the flower shop, the meat shop, etc, etc.

It has all that you have come to expect, with a small twist at the end. One of my favorite characters (besides Arnold, of course) was the quirky mortician towards the end, he was creepy but in a very nice way.

Do Arnold and friends save the day? Well, I'm sure most of you saw this back in 2002 or have seen it since, but if not, then rent it from somewhere and watch it. Worth a look.

3 1/2 stars.

I saw "Hey Arnold: The Movie" the first day it came out in theaters in 2002, and I must say, I was very impressed. It had the heart and the humor of the TV show, but with more action and excitement. Although the animation is crappy, it still has that classic "Hey Arnold" look.
But if I hear the word "neighborhood" one more time, I'm gonna throw myself off a bridge.
The DVD's special features for this movie are awful. Couldn't they at least have had a behind-the-scenes documentary or something like that? There's a sneak peek of the new special edition of "Charlotte's Web", a theatrical trailer, and a gay interactive game (promoting the DVD premire of "Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure") where you have to guess which animal the narrator's thinking of.
If I hear "Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure" one more time, I'm gonna throw myself off a bridge.
Oh, well. All in all, the movie is excellent. It's a rental if you're a Nickelodeon fan.

Hey arnold and his crazy shinnanigans,its a hilarious master piece, every time i here someone shout football head i drop on the ground and laugh until i cry.one time i even laughed so hard i crapped my pants,this movie was so good it should have won 10 emmies.anyhoot this movie is the hamsters sweater.if you dont like this watch it 5 more times and i think youll change your mind.

I love this movie even more than honey combs cerial. I love it, with all my heart. Every bit of it, and even some of my lungs and liver. I love it, what else can I say. I have posters of it all in my room, I even have a Hey Arnold lamp and chair. They came together, as a box set. Then I have a Hey Arnold sticker. I got that at the doctors. I had a boo-boo. Anyways, I have a Hey Arnold ringtone. Its the best thing I have ever spent money on (besides the DVD that is). When some one calls, my phone goes "Hey Arnold". Some people dont get it, cause my name is Doug, and not Arnold, but I tell them about them movie, and they get it. Sometimes, when Im tired and they ask me, I just say, I dont know, the phone doesnt know my name. I like cheese. Exspecailly the round kind. I dont know why, I just do. Like a mouse, but not really. That made no sence. Anways, I have to go, my Honey Combs are getting soggy. I love the movie, buy it, now. Now now now, now now now, now now now now now. Ok, have a good day, eat some cheese. And Honey Combs, if you can get to your local general store. But eat cheese first, Arnold would be proud of you.
