hey arnold . be a slow paced and slightly boring movie . the plot be not very creative . the paul sorvino character ( shenk ) be buy all of the decrepit and low price building in order to build a gigantic mall and shopping complex and office building . this plot go back to many 1960s kid movie . it be boring . paul sorvino be not very excite either and so the idea of him a the bad guy be not very scary . gramps remembers something about a historical document and and the rest of the movie be about the last 36 hour when arnold and jamal must find the document with the undercover aid of helga and whose father be hop to become rich thanks to shenk mall . the kid must move around town on bus and and so the exciting chase scene involve a bus be not only silly and but underscore how this movie be write for very young kid . hey arnold and the tv cartoon be usually very entertaining and and it have enough humor to appeal to adult . the tv cartoon be usually faster paced and more imaginative than this movie . hey arnold the movie and be about five time more sedated and and a good way to put anyone and include kiddy to sleep . hey arnold be a tough one to stay awake all the way until the predictable and totally boring end . if you want to send your kid to a totally non offensive movie and this be it . i get the feeling that instead of try to make a 90 minute movie and the producer start out with a 30 minute tv cartoon script and try to expand it into 90 minute . this mall story definitely could have be cover in the tv cartoon . hopefully arnold will bet a good writer if there be ever a sequel .
