GamerTab That was an excellent one.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
cinephile-27690 I was sheltered from Spongebob because I used to pull my pants down and imitate his laugh at church. I watched his movie a couple years ago and I am glad I was hidden from it. Spongebob bathes with his neighbor, we see his friend Patrick's butt a couple of times,and there other crude jokes. Mindy gets sexual harassment from Patrick too. This should NOT be viewed by kids. The fact that it is shocks me.Show your kids a different movie.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 A joy to behold from beginning to end, this filmic adaptation of the beloved television show is considered by many to be the point at which the series essentially ended - as it marked the initial departure of the founding creative team - but it thankfully lived up to, and indeed exceeded, the expectations set by the first three seasons to become an incredibly funny, beautifully animated and effortlessly charming tale of everyone's favourite pineapple-dwelling sea sponge. 'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004)' is not only hilarious and incredibly smart, working both for kids and adults alike, but also surprisingly emotional and more-than-competent from a story stand-point too, becoming one of the most lasting and memorably smile-inducing animations of the twenty-first century. It's endearing, rib-tickling, smart, side-splitting, laugh-a-minute stuff. 7/10
dejiaw Firstly, this movie is easily a classic of the 2000s. This movie has a decent plot, amazing graphics (provided the way the show looked at the time) and funny hidden humor. Adult humor is sprinkled about, making the movie enjoyable to both the children and the adults. The brightly colored screen made it hard to fall asleep in the theatre, which overall, made it a much more pleasant experience than having to watch the show at home alone. It surrounded the thought (sort of mocks it) of Spongebob and Patrick having to grow up, despite having been rumored that Spongebob is well over 30, and living on his own, as well as have to venture out of the water on David Hasselhoff to save Bikini Bottom. Overall, 12/10.
mwcrunner The SpongeBob movie is amazing and funny and has a great story in it. It's about SpongeBob who learns to believe that he's really a kid instead of an adult. Of course SpongeBob is an adult that acts like a kid and that's what's special about him cause he has a childhood like personality. Now in this one scene of the movie we see SpongeBob and Patrick get drunk....on ice cream!? Now that's something to put in a kids movie like this. Two best friends getting drunk on ice cream. lol. You might even say that the ice cream that SpongeBob and Patrick were eating had butter rum flavor in it. lol. Now the whole plot of this story is that SpongeBob thought he was gonna be the new manager of the Krusty Krab 2, but the job was handed over to Squidward cause Mr. Krabs says that SpongeBob is just a kid and that he has to be a man to be manager. SpongeBob gets very depressed and heads down to Goofy Goobers Ice Cream party boat with his friend Patrick where they get drunk on ice cream. Meanwhile Plankton steals King Neptunes crown and frames Mr. Krabs and the crown is sent to the forbidden Shell City. When SpongeBob see's Neptune about to fry Mr. Krabs he asks if he would be the one to get the crown back and Neptune doubts it until Mindy asks him to give SpongeBob to get the crown back so Neptune sends SpongeBob and Patrick to come back with his crown in 6 days and freezes Mr. Krabs for until then. Then SpongeBob and Patrick go on a long road trip to Shell City in the Patty Wagon. On the way they run into a thug who takes the Patty Wagon and decide to walk the rest of the way. Meanwhile Plankton steals the Krabby Patty formula while Mr. Krabs stood frozen and starts selling Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket. He also sends an assassin to get rid of SpongeBob and Patrick from getting the crown. His name is Dennis by the way and is voiced by an actor that I don't like very much. Alec Baldwin. That guy is a man baby. Meanwhile SpongeBob and Patrick find their car and they try to get the key out of the bar it was parked at and manage to do it. Elswhere Squidward discovers that Plankton was selling Krabby Patties and was about to turn in Plankton until Plankton starts turning everyone in Bikini Bottom into slaves with brain control helmets. Now this was the only time that Plankton did something so big and evil cause throughout the show he is just trying to compete with Mr. Krabs and his plans never usually work. Meanwhile SpongeBob and Patrick deal with an angler fish that uses ice cream as bait and their car gets eaten by it and they stop at deep dark dangerous hazardous monster infested trench. Then they decided to go home until Mindy comes and tells them what's happened back in Bikini Bottom. Then she gives them fake mustaches and they go into the trench and out of it until they run into Dennis. Dennis was about to squish them with a big cleat until he gets squished by a bigger boot which was owned by a horrible cyclops who takes SpongeBob and Patrick to Shell City which was of course a souvenir shop. A fishes worst nightmare. They were being dried up into nick knacks until they are saved by the tear of the Goofy Goober and they come back to life and then all the other fish in the shop started coming alive and they attack the cyclops. Then they tried get back home with a bag of winds but they lose it until David Hasslehoff comes to the rescue and gives them a ride back to Bikini Bottom. On they way Dennis comes back to finish the job until he gets knocked off Hasslehoff by a sail boat. When they got back they fall into a trap set up by Plankton when he puts a mind control helmet on King Neptune. When SpongeBob, Patrick and Mindy were about to meet their doom, until SpongeBob saves the day with the power of rock n roll. Then everyone is free from Plankton's mind control devices and Plankton is sent to jail and everything returns to normal in Bikni Bottom. Also SpongeBob becomes the new manager after Mr. Krabs realizes that he doubted him and he won't make that mistake again. Great and amazing here and just before SpongeBob started going down the toilet.
