Summary: Fast-moving Enjoyable Flick for the Whole Family
Review: As an adult viewer, I found this film very entertaining, with more of the charm of the TV series and a fast-moving tale as Arnold, Gerald and company try to save their neighborhood from the wrecking ball.
Kids can enjoy the animation, while adults can enjoy the interesting character perks Craig Bartlett has bestowed on even the most minor characters. Think about it: how few TV programs aimed at adults have such well-defined peripheral characters as Big Bob Pataki?
The film gets to the point right away in the first few minutes, so pay attention. And then enjoy watching the football-head save his neighborhood, and teach us all what's really important... saving our heritage!

Summary: One for the fans...
Review: As has been noted, this isn't a bad flick at all - if you're a fan, that is.
Yes, the movie's animation needed work, but until Nickelodeon flip-flopped mid project and shifted what was intended to be a 'Nick Flick' television premiere into a theatrical release everything was sailing along quite nicely.
Given, a lot of reviewers have shown a bit of distaste, to put it mildly, for the manner in which the film evolved, and the fact that the characters were underdeveloped. But the truth is this was a movie made for those of us who were all ready familiar with the show's workings and the character's motivations.
Having originally been designed as a TV Movie it was probably intended to run during, or at the end of, a marathon of the show's more noteworthy episodes, which would have brought any latecomers up to speed.
All in all, even for those who haven't seen the show, the plot was decent, the animation was okay, and the voice actors, as usual, did a very good job - nothing great though, right?
That is, unless you, like myself, are a fan of the show because of the righteous jazz music, wacky local scenery (a juxtaposition of Seattle [skyline], New York [P.S.*** school system] Chicago [old brownstones], etc.), and the instances of magic realism evidenced throughout the series.
It's great the way Bartlett and the rest of the writers/artists on the show managed to draw out and make wonderful again those things we, as adults, often take for granted.
Like urban legends, school plays, holidays - even the local lunatic who, upon close inspection, isn't quite so much creepy as interesting and mysterious.
Basically, it's not perfect, but yeah, I dig.

Summary: Fun For the Whole Family!
Review: 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!

You know he saves the neighborhood- but during some parts u just dont believe its gonna happen! And u gotta see it for the romance too! Its a total twist on movies like scooby doo, MIB, etc. Go see it!! Lil Romeo's song aint bad neither!!!

Summary: "Not what I expected, but good..."
Review: Even though this is a Hey Arnold movie and I am a huge fan of the show, I just didn't think this was a good movie. After about 3/4 of the movie it got kind of boring, they should have started it off like a normal episode, like Arnold at school, or maybe Arnold getting up in the morning, we should've seen more of Arnold's grandpa and grandma, but his grandma doesn't appear much during the movie and neither does his granpa. But it was pretty funny when Mr. Hyunn, Oscar, and Grandpa were in the sewer, that was pretty good. Even though I am a huge fan of Hey Arnold, this just wasn't what I expected, but I still recommend it to any Hey Arnold fan.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Hey Arnold!:The Movie is rather disappointing considering it is nothing like the TV series itself. The TV series was successful in many ways, one of the most important being its realism unlike other shows where characters and fictional people are able to achieve phenomenal, humanly impossible tasks. Unlike the series, such things as these occur in the movie, whereas basically three 9 year old fourth graders drive a bus, jump an opening in a concrete overpass, and save a neighborhood from destruction, among other things. Besides this, many of the other lesser-known characters by people not too familiar with the show, but who play a major role in the plot (especially for the show's bigger fans) have no role in the movie at all. They may appear in a seen or two, maybe even get lucky enough to have a line or two said. Last but definitely not least, the main theme of the story since the episode first aired 7+ years ago was Helga's secret, obsessive love for Arnold. I, among others, feel that the confession of her love to Arnold in the movie was not only in the wrong place at the wrong time, but also the reaction of Arnold at the end of the movie (as well as his immediate reaction) and how they both pretend nothing happened was not really how many of the fans of the show really wanted to see it turn out, after some had been waiting seven years to be able to witness Helga's confession to Arnold. Despite all this, I cannot give this movie a review of less than 3 stars, as I still love Hey Arnold! deeply and could never rate anything from both the show or even the movie less than that.

Summary: A great movie if you like the the show.
Review: 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
