May 14, 2011fb1360693664Like most children cartoon movies (especially Nickelodeon films), the charm of the original series comes no where close, and that is the only difference. It's just as unoriginal, and boring as the rest.

July 12, 2011a smart, action packed comedy with thrills and fun at the same time! with a crispy script and colorful animation, it's one the best animated films of the year! A+

August 22, 2010a pretty forgettable chapter in the franchise. I always loved Hey Arnold as a kid, and my appreciation for it continues to grow. its humour is a mixture of dry wit and corny zingers that cover a broad range of maturity levels. the writing is also incredibly clever and intellige... read more

September 11, 2007This came out near the end of the "Hey Arnold!" tv show that ran on Nick. Good way to end a series and pretty decent of a film. Actually having a story is a great way to make a movie out of something.

The simplistic drawing is closer to Peanuts than The Lion King, and the dialogue is strangely anachronistic. Full Review

Malcolm Ritter, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It all unfolds just about as a grownup might expect, though at a leisurely pace that makes the movie's 72 minutes seem longer. Full Review

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
A good laugh every half-hour or so is not enough for me to recommend this film to anyone who's not a fan of the TV show. Full Review

Hey Arnold! The Movie is what happens when you blow up small potatoes to 10 times their natural size, and it ain't pretty. Full Review

The ethical, independent-minded kid has his unhip charms, and so does Hey Arnold! The Movie. Full Review

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Neither funny nor suspenseful nor particularly well-drawn. Full Review

Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star
It all unfolds predictably, and the adventures that happen along the way seem repetitive and designed to fill time, providing no real sense of suspense. Full Review

It is great summer fun to watch Arnold and his buddy Gerald bounce off a quirky cast of characters. Full Review

Kids surely will like it. And for adults, it's perfectly watchable in a Rugrats-y sort of way.
