Review Date is July 7, 2002
Animated Family/Comedy-Football-headed, optimistic, and smart Arnold enjoys his inner-city neighborhood. But when a giant marketing firm, leaded by "evil" Scheck, plans to tear it down, Arnold and his friends must stop them. While they are trying to stop the coporation, Arnold and his best friend Gerald get anonymous calls from a "Deep Voice". They must sneak into Scheck's office to find a document saying that their neighborhood is a historical landmark and it can't be torn down.
6/10-A good waste of 75 minutes. The crudely drawn animation was worse than the show. The movie didn't waste any time getting started, which may not have been a good thing, since those who didn't know the show wouldn't have any character developement. The plot seemed rather farfetched, yet it stil entertained for the whole show. It was also quite funny in most parts.
At least it didn't spoil the show. I remember seeing the Rugrats Movie and things that happened in that changed the show. Nothing new happened in Arnoldland when it ended. As if you couldn't guess, it was also predictable. The bottom line is if you enjoy the show, you'll enjoy the movie. If you hate the show, you'll hate the movie.
Rated PG for thematic elements and almost profanity.
