Leave your thoughts about Hey Arnold! The Movie.
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionMalcolm RitterIt all unfolds just about as a grownup might expect, though at a leisurely pace that makes the movie's 72 minutes seem longer. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekCommits the cardinal sin in a children's film: it's boring. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckRudimentary animation and a less-than-witty screenplay result in a film that plays like a simple installment of the series. |
| San Francisco ChronicleC.W. NeviusIt is great summer fun to watch Arnold and his buddy Gerald bounce off a quirky cast of characters. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIt's an unspectacular, unexciting movie, to be sure. But what's relevant is whether it will entertain kids. Will it? I don't know; I'm not one. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsValerie KuklenskiCraig Bartlett and director Tuck Tucker should be commended for illustrating the merits of fighting hard for something that really matters. |
| New York PostLou LumenickThe story is also engaging and hip enough to make it a far easier sit for parents. And it's hard not to like a hero who takes public transportation to a showdown with the bad guy. |
| Globe and MailLiam LaceyThe updated Dickensian sensibility of writer Craig Bartlett's story is appealing. |
| New York TimesElvis MitchellThis may be the first cartoon ever to look as if it were being shown on the projection television screen of a sports bar. |
| Reel.comMary Kalin-CaseyOffers enough compelling dramatic moments and adventure to keep Arnold fans entertained. |
