Go Jimmy, Jimmy

The film and movie soundtrack are excellent. This is the best nickelodeon film I have ever seen and this is better than the series that was built on its foundation. Wait a tick, Isn't Steve Oddekerk the guy who played the chosen one in the hilarious Kung Pow: enter the fist. The 3-d animation is great and this is hilarious thanks to the fantastic scriptwriters and actors who provided the voices. If There was an award for best nick movie my vote would go to Jimmy Neutron for a great project in filmaking. Go rent or buy the movie if you haven't seen it yet and if you like the film, get the soundtrack as well. Jimmy Neutron Rocks!
