Summary: A Little bit Boring
Review: Harriet the Spy is the best Nickelodeon Movie. This is movie is #3 best Nickelodeon ever. Clockstoppers is #2 and Hey Arnold! the movie is #1. The best Nickelodeon Movie better than The Rugrats Movie. A good film Rose O'Donnell and Michelle Trachtenberg made. You should see this film. If you thought this film was stupid, you are wrong. But 3/4 of it got really kind of boring. I think Harriet the Spy is the best Nickelodeon movie ever. That Nickelodeon movie along with Hey Arnold! the movie is a must-see Nickelodeon Movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The one mark Nickelodeon should be proud of
Review: This has to be one of the best children's movies I've ever seen. Most children's movies and shows are a far cry from anything I'd ever enjoy. This movie, though, has appeal to anyone who's ever been a kid. Adults, teens, and kids can all watch this movie. It's hard to believe Nickelodeon wouldn't do more entertaining things like this film, becuase now all they seem to air are badly made cartoons that kids can enjoy for about two years. Then they move on. This is a movie you don't outgrow though, and Harriet is a fun and easy to believe character.
This film is witty, has fantastic acting, is original, and is worth a watch or two. No matter how old you are.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outside in the Cold...
Review: Harriet M. Welsch (Michelle Trachtenberg) is an 11-year-old-spy who dreams of being a writer. She explains her obsession with writing by saying: "I want to remember everything, I want to know everything."

In her PRIVATE notebook, she writes down her secret thoughts. Sometimes her comments are all too honest and not that nice. Harriet doesn't yet understand the power of words, but soon she learns, when all her friends become her worst enemies.

Rosie O'Donnell plays the perfect nanny. Her advice to Harriet is that while she might want to know everything, it won't do her a bit of good unless she uses her knowledge to put beauty into the world.

Harriet goes through a great learning experience where she finally realizes she should participate more in life and learns to let go of her writing obsession in order to embrace life. After all, true friends are what makes life wonderful and worth living.

This is a funky, modern story that teaches a wonderful lesson. It is about learning to forgive and being vulnerable enough to be able to say you are sorry.

A great lesson for all ages!

Summary: Not as good as the Book
Review: This book was my favorite book when I was little (I am now 17). When the movie came out, I found I did not enjoy it. The script followed the book loosely. I found my imagination portrayed the story better than the movie. I enjoy the Nickelodeon channel and the actors/actresses in the movie, but I strongly feel that if a movie is going to be made from a book, they should follow the book and make the characters like the ones from the book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good News For Girls Bad News For Boys.
Review: I hate this movie. Only girls watch this movie. Harriet the Spy should spy out of stores. This movie is really bad. In fact there are more felmale actors then mnale actors. If the company of this movie wanted to make a movie with more actress than actors. Then they should have dropped the male actors out of this movie. Do actresses and actors has to be in the same movie?

Harriet spys around her neighorhood. School is begining for Harriet and she is entering 6th grade. She is 3 more grades away from high school. Harriet's teacher tells the class that Harriet M. Welsch and her rival are runing for 6th class president. Which including taking attendance and working on the 6th grade newspaper.

Harriet loses to her rival. One night Harried goes out with her nanny Golly (Rosie O'Donnell) and a male along on a movie and dinner date. Harriet (Michelle Tractenberg) arrives home late. And her parents are mad. Harriet's mother (J Smith-Cameron) fires Golly. And Golly says it is the right time to leave Harriet. Harriet's mother and father (Robert Joy) try to talk Golly out of it.

So now Harriet is on her own. Soon she faces crisis. Her rival finds her notebook and reads it and soon she finds her classmates aginst her. They plot to get back at Harriet by dumping blue paint on her after her parents order her to stop with the notebook for a while when they find out they she is not doing her school work. I give this movie * star. This movie might be good for girls up to age 12 and girls after that might find this stupid.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest movie made by Nickelodeon
Review: I've read some of the reviews and think some people didn't even watch it. I mean, they probably heard about from somebody who hates Nickelodeon. I've been watching nickelodeon for 13 years(or my whole life) and it is a great channel. Now about the movie, it is about a girl named Harriet who is 12 years old and is in sixth grade,and loves to write and likes to spy (in a good way) she has a nanny named Golly (Rosie O'Donnel) her parents are not like the ones on full house who hug all the time but there the average 90's parents. She has two best friends named Sport and Janey,(sport is a comedian, and Janey is a Scientist ) The best part is when they start school and Harriet rates all the students. This is a movie for kids and adults, it will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will also make you want to watch it again and again.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: I'm not mean to give it 1 star, I'll give it 2 stars!
Review: HARRIET THE SPY is one movie that back in 1996, at eight years of age and had read the book more or less ten times, I was anticipating. Wanting to see so badly I'm sure my parents were getting tired of my protests. Finally, Mom took my best friend and I to see the movie we had been waiting for. What a mistake. I loved it back then, with Harriet doing all kinds of stuff probably our moms would never let us - but then again the Welsch family seems as if they don't go for the mushy hugs that our families did, and were TOTALLY distant from their eleven year old precocious daughter - and everything was just plain fascinating for our eyes. Now four years later at twelve, I watch it again. HARRIET IS, to put it bluntly, A TOTAL BRAT. I mean, she refuses to go over her friends' houses just so she can spy, and all the time she is spyin' away and worrying whether a guy is a veggie thief in Hong Fats Grocery she could be with her friends, who aren't doing anything with her. Finally when Marian the jerk finds Harriet's notebook, at eight I was screaming "NOOO", now at almost thirteen I am screaming "Go, Marian!" Harriet needs to learn that friends shouldn't be taken for granted. Only Rosie O'Donnell has a superb part in this. And that's why I'm giving it two stars.
