Spencer Klein is the voice of Arnold the football-headed-fourth-grader-larger-than-life lead who wants to overthrow Scheck (voice of Paul Sorvino), a corporate mogul who wants to take over the neighborhood with voice of Jennifer Jason Leigh as the voluptuous Bridget. If you’re a fan of the Nickelodeon’s animated franchises, “Hey Arnold! The Movie,” is likely to make you smile. If you’re not, you’ll be left in the dust despite its comic timing and past film references (Men In Black, Mission Impossible etc.). Unlike “Rugrats” which infuses pop-culture references that make the story non-seat squirming for adults, “Hey Arnold” is a drop-them-off-at-the-door movie. But, like “Rugrats” the problem is it comes off not as a big screen extravaganza but just a longer version of the television show.
