I understand this is a kids movie based on the beloved 90s cartoons, Hey Arnold, the cartoon was witty, calming, enjoyable, had good life lessons, had bizzare yet goodly drawn characters, fun, heartwarming and unforgettable, what does this movie have? None, it was just a 90-minute-abomination that's supposed to be a TV movie instead, it was puzzling, unmemorable, unfunny, boring, cheesy as chalkboards, mediocre dialogue, painful to watch and extremely confusing.
This movie has terrible direction, Schek himself is soulless, one-dimensional, unlikable and stereotypical who has no personality or emotion, and spends half his time saying "Change is good", just woeful, the characters feel watered down or either shoehorned at the last minute into being bland characters, the confession for Helga was poorly written, the ending is just a copy of the 1994 film Speed, in which case Speed had a better ending than this, the fight scene with the "we need to save the neighborhood" cliché is one of the most insensitive ideas I've ever seen, EVER, and finally this movie was a flop at the box office because people hated this garbage
Overall, Hey Arnold The Movie is shallow, boring, soulless and overlong, it's got nothing good in it, so grab the kids, dodge this movie in every single way (unless you want kids to think only change is always good) and rent The Jungle Movie instead, the Jungle Movie should've been released in theaters, and this travesty never should've been made in the first place
Why, Nickelodeon, WWWWHHHYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!
