	Movies - Hey Arnold!: The Movie

Hey Arnold!: The Movie is a theatrical release based on the Nickelodeon animated television series Hey Arnold!. In this film, Arnold and Gerald set out to save their neighborhood from being converted into a mall by the main villain played by Paul Sorvino (Helga's dad Big Bob also has something to do with this) by looking for a document that proves the historicity of their neighborhood (something involving a tomato fight, which might possibly be a send up of the Boston Tea Party), with the help of a few others (Jennifer Jason Leigh and Christopher Lloyd). Also in this film, Helga finally reveals her secret love to Arnold, as had been promised by series creator Craig Bartlett .

The film was originally intended for television as "Arnold Saves The Neighborhood", but was made into a cinema release in hopes of making a quick buck, so to speak, while what had originally been intended as the cinema release (eventually scrapped, see the Hey Arnold! article for details) was being written. The film received negative reviews from critics, and even some Hey Arnold! fans were somewhat disappointed at several things, for example, the relegation of most of the regular kids to bit roles (especially Phoebe), the lack of PS 118, and showing the secret love revelation in the advertising for the film. The box office results suffered as result: It opened at #6 for the weekend, and ended up grossing about $13m overall.

Tagline: A Big Problem Calls For A Big Head.
