Trivia
Nickelodeon's first feature film.

Goofs
The boom mic is visible over 24 times in the open matte (4:3) version of the movie. In the 16:9 matted widescreen version, it is only seen one time: when Harriet realizes that her notebook is missing after she and her friends play bumper tag. The boom mic dips very quickly into the frame in the upper left corner of the screen.

Quotes
Ole Golly: You know what? You're an individual, and that makes people nervous. And it's gonna keep making people nervous for the rest of your life.

Crazy credits
During the opening credits, items from Harriet's spy kit (i.e. magnifying glass, flashlight, and compass) are seen interacting with the credits as they appear.

I loved this movie! ~!

this movie i went and saw when it first came out. After watching the behind the scenes promos on nickelodeon i was really shocked that Nickelodeon can do movies as well as a television network. Brilliantly written and acted i loved the acting and all the characters. It shows that what you are thinking is not always good to write down for fear of someone finding it. It also show's her trials and tribulations going through 6th grade wanting to be a spy and having a nanny in the mix. I loved Rosie O' Donnell in this film she is truly an awesome actor and during the movie you can't help but get a little teary eyed and crack up when your supposed to. I recommend for anyone especially a movie night for the family and/or friends! ~!
