One thing that works very well about Hey Arnold! The Movie is the sense of nostalgia the film invokes. As a fan of the show growing up, it was certainly nice to get back into this world Nickelodion created. Looking back with adult eyes, I can see why children loved this series, including myself. It's a series about best friends going on adventures and the "romance" between Arnold and Helga. I was disappointed with this movie in a regard, because it does not tie up an important storyline which was important to the series. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this nostalgic trip.
This film has Arnold and his best friend, Gerald rescuing their neighborhood from the evil Mr. Scheck who wants to turn their homes into a modernized shopping complex.
Overall, Hey Arnold! The Movie is worth the trip down memory lane since it has been years since I have last seen an episode of this cartoon. It was never my favorite series, despite me finding it passable. The bickering between Helga and Arnold goes on a little more than I would have liked. I did like the spoofs the movie has to offer, especially the Men in Black spoof. A merely passable film for the family.
My Grade: C+
