I first saw this movie when I was 13, long before I knew what was a "good" movie or "bad." Granted, it's NOT a cinematic masterpiece, but being a picked-on geek myself, I identified with Ronald and the imaginary world he creates, and tries to drag a teenage girl into. As for the budget, NONE of the movies made at about this time looked good, and girls were supposed to be pretty, not talented. If you'd like to see Scott Jacoby in a much better movie, track down "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane," with a barely-post-"Taxi Driver" Jodie Foster and a still-playing-psychos (a la "Badlands") Martin Sheen.

I just bought a CD from a band that I'd never heard of, just because their name was Bad Ronald ... if you like white rock-type hip-hop, check it out!

I still haven't seen the original movie, but I love the series! I'm 41 and my son is 14, and we like to watch it together. I'm not the biggest fan of CGI animation, but considering all the gadgets that Jimmy comes up with, it works; the animators do a great job, too. I like the fact that Jimmy Neutron, while having an IQ of 210, is pretty much just a normal dorky kid, with normal dorky friends - the difference is in the high-tech way he solves his normal dorky problems. This is geared more towards kids than is "Dexter's Lab," but I still find much to giggle at (like the fact that Jimmy's Mexican buddy is named "Sheen." In case you're not a huge Martin Sheen fan, his real name is Ramon Estevez.) It's cute AND funny -- I recommend it!
