The old man asks, "Who's Arnold?"

I never watch Nickelodean anymore since my youngest son is 18. We used to watch Ren and Stimpy, Clarissa, and the shows of the late 80's. So I don't know who Arnold is. My first question: Why does everyone else look rather normal and Arnold has the head of a football? For someone who can no longer enjoy kids' movies and cartoons, I rather enjoyed this movie. Paul Sorvino was a very good bad guy. The kids were fun, the neighborhood comfortably close and the story was rather brisk and entertaining. Also, I liked watching for little adult jabs for the parents that kids won't get. 5/10

Well first of all, I thought that this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen, personally. And the second thing to answer your question, i watched the show growing up and the two things that they never told you about Arnold was the reason he has a football head and his last name.

I thought it was below average as a kids movie and for me.Since its the last part of the Arnold franchise it would be nice if Helga wasnt joking when she said all those things about Arnold.

They do explain the reason for his head, though. The original Arnold character was made from flat clay peices, and Craig didn't have a circular cookie cutter. So he simply used a football shaped cutout. :) And I guess he just kept it that way!

Do you have that one with that guy who was in that movie last year?

THIS MOVIE WAS AN VERY GOOD

IT WAS NICE TO SEE MY CHILDHOOD FAVES ON THE BIG SCREEN - IT WAS A NICELY DONE FILM , THAT DIDNT TRY TO BE SOMETHING NEW OR HIP, JUST AN HOUR OR SO OF SOME LAUGHS AND GENTLE FEEL GOOD STORY - AS LIKE THE TV SERIES

THIS MOVIE SHOULD NEVER BE PUT DOWN IN THE TURKEYS LIST

ITS A NICE FILM WITH SOME GREAT MOMENTS

Me too. I didn't think the movie was THAT bad. I actually enjoyed it. It was actually funny to see Helga confess all her feelings to Arnold, and then Arnold asking if she really meant it and she it took it all back.

"Arnold, my love, why must I worship you...and NEVER EVER tell?" 

Well I, for one, think this was the last great movie that Nickelodeon made...Man, I miss this show.
