"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 anydayGive 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 saw it at the film festival!

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."

It's Okay.

"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."
