3.0 out of 5 stars Could've been better... but oh well...., December 13, 2003

This review is from: Hey Arnold: Movie [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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

4.0 out of 5 stars A great movie if you like the the show., July 3, 2002

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

5.0 out of 5 stars I saw it at the film festival!, June 5, 2002

By A Customer

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!
