Adapted from the popular Nickelodeon show, this feature continues the adventures of the blithely cheerful, football-headed Arnold (voice by Spencer Klein) on the big screen. When corrupt developer Schek (Paul Sorvino) threatens to buy the run-down urban neighborhood where Arnold lives, he and his best friend Gerald (Jamil Smith) rally the neighbors to keep their homes from being turned into a mega-mall. After their peaceful efforts fail, they turn to espionage in a spoof of Men in Black and other action films. Hey Arnold! suffers from the same difficulty as many theatrical features spawned from TV cartoons: the characters have to solve a problem that's too big. The James Bond-style gadgetry and car chases don't fit into the slightly skewed vision of fourth-grade life that made the series popular. The limited animation and awkward designs will work better in the video release. Rated PG for cartoon violence. --Charles Solomon

"I've always loved you, ever since I layed eyes on you stupid football head!".......2006-08-10

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.

FOOTBALL HEAD!!!.......2005-10-13

the REAL best movie of 2002.......2005-08-27

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.
