Yes, I will admit it, I am 20 and Hey Arnold is one of my all time favorite shows :) It is practically the only good cartoon Nickelodeon still has- they could take away Ren & Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life, but they're not gonna take away THIS one :)

Believe it or not, this actually IS a really good show- unlike all other crap on Nick these days, this show actually DOES have some meaning behind it- This isn't about a talking sponge or a cat & a dog stuck together,, this show has real-life 4th graders with the type of problems that high school kids have, ie: family problems, relationship problems, problems fitting it,, yep, every episode seems to have a little lesson behind it-and not only that, but the show is also very funny- Being a fan of Family Guy and Clerks you'd think that a Nick cartoon would be the last thing to make me laugh,, well let me tell you,, seeing Euguene fall into a hole and then be well enough to yell out "I'M OK!" is just as funny as Stewie yelling "DAMN YOU ALL! VICTORY IS MINE!" :)

Anyway on to the movie- This basically was the same thing as the "Save Mighty Pete" episode- big corporation wants to tear down the neighborhood, and of course Helga's dad, that arrogant jerk "Big Bob Pataki" joins in... and then Arnold & etc do everything they can to stop it... Yea, u can kinda tell what was gonna happen easily...

Also, Euguene wasn't in the movie enough(He's my all time favorite character,, but well his little "singing" part WAS hillarious :), and Curly wasn't in it, my other favorite character, or Chocolate Boy, haha :)

All in all not a bad movie,, but I'll definitley take the show over it anyday

Give Hey Arnold a shot if you've never watched it- It's a very funny and realistic show, and well it's really not part of all the "new nicktoons"- it's been on since like 1997

I am on 21 years old and don't watch very much TV, let alone Nickelodean but there are a few shows on Nick that I do regularly watch. The ones shows that I watch are: Wild ThornBerries, Spongebob & Hey Arnold!. These are the few that I actually like. Out of all 3, Hey Arnold! is probably my favorite.
When I heard about the movie a few months back I very stoked about it, but also afraid that I would be dissapointed since the vast majority of cartoons that become movies, usually are not very good.
So I steeled myself and went to see the movie and I was only slightly dissapointed.

The basic plot of the movie is this: A big time corporation is trying to bulldoze Arnold's entire neighborhood to build a giant shopping mall. Arnold not standing for this does whatever he can ( along with his friend Gerald.) to keep Sheck the leader of the corp from bulldozing their neighborhood.

The movie starts out kind of slow, but once it gets past the first half hour, the movie begins to really pick up & doesn't slow down until the movie is over.

There is plenty of humor in it and some of the funniest parts are when it's ripping on other movies as well as other things. Some of the younger audiences might not get some of them but since I'm 21 years old I was able to understand most of them.
My personal favorite part had to be when they rip on the Incredible Hulk. I laughed harder at that part more than any other point in the movie.

the only real problem with this movie is that people that haven't ever watched the TV show probably wont know who most of the characters are.

But if you are a fan of the show like me then I can guarentee that you will enjoy this movie

It was a wonderful movie! It was in a premiere in the Film-Festival here in New York! there was no empty seats and everybody enjoyed it to the max even our on Craig Bartlett creator of "Hey Arnold!" was there I had a blast and when it premieres in June 28 all the fans will have the time of there lifes with this romantic-action-packed-humorous-woderful movie!!!

Incase you don't know what's about it's about Arnold has to save his neighborhood from a man named Sheck who wants to destroy it and build a "mall-plex", Helga finds out that his dad (Big Bob Pataki) himself is involed in the building and he is planning to build a new bigger Beeper Store right where Arnold lives. Helga must choose or Love or beeing rich with his love's house tron down and is up to Arnold and his Friends along with a mysterious Deep Voice to save his neighborhood! A totally AWSOME MOVIE!

I'm a big Hey Arnold! fan and I think this film does justice to the show in most cases. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but it's definitely a good movie kids and kids at heart will enjoy. There are also some lessons anyone can learn from it. For one, Arnold is always the optimist, showing kids to look on the bright side because "Somebody has to." The kids all band together despite differences for a common cause. Despite almost impossible odds, Arnold, Gerald and even, yes, Helga do their best to persevere and save their neighborhood. Finally, when Helga's father offers her the chance to be rich (His beeper store will be placed in the new mall-plex), she ultimately choses to pursue her unrequited love object by helping Arnold save the neighborhood, showing how those we love are more important than money. All in all, HA! is a funny, feel-good movie that'll have kids cheering as well as teaching them some important lessons.

This movie was alright. It could have been a lot better without the constant use of the word "Neighborhood." Hearing that word over and over again is just irritating.

Being a middle aged soccer mom, I'm not interested in taking my kids to the very violent minority reports, or the insulting scooby doo. Basically that meant I was at a loss in that entertainment field. The kids wanted to see a movie, but nothing out there appealed. Then, I was invited to a screening of Hey Arnold! The blissful innocence that inhabit these kids remind us of all our own childhood and kids. I recommend this film to families who are out of options at the cinema. This is the perfect family flick!

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.

Like many other children across the USA I was really looking forward to the first movie of Hey Arnold the Movie.Like alot of the movies that I look forward to they mostly end up bad but not Hey Arnold.Hey Arnold was as charming as it looked like it was gonna be.The plot was engrossing and even the animation looked as if it were an old cartoon classic.

The Plot:When a bigshot corprate agent buys the neighborhood to want to knock it down to make a big mall it's up to Arnold the saw the neighborhood and the people who live in it.Helga who has had a love for Arnold ever since she first met him decides to secretly help him out as Deep Voice.She becomes Deep Voice after learning that the town is a national landmark but there is a lost document that declares it a landmark.She learns it is locked in a safe deposit box and gives Arnold anonymous infomation.Will Arnold and Gerald find the document and save the neighborhood?

Don't miss seeing Hey Arnold The Movie.It's a don't miss movie that I will surly buy on DVD!

ENJOY!

The plot is as follows: A man named Sheck says he'll destroy Arnold's neighborhood. Arnold and his friend, Gerald, try to stop him. Pretty routine stuff, but with these characters, I'm interested.

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.
