Top Critic The film even manages to pull off a hilarious comic song ("Now that we're men!"), as well as providing new additions to playground vocabulary such as "Knuckleheaded McSpazatron".

Top Critic
The Nickelodeon cartoon series about an oceanic sponge and his starfish sidekick washes onto the big screen with a tide of weak one-liners, exaggerated reactions, and vaguely nauseating gags.

There are a few laughs for adults in this film. There are a few clever cultural references. Mostly, however, I found it underwhelming.
03/06/08
The new feature film has some of the charm of the small-screen original, but it lacks the sustained goofiness of the series.

It's back to the drawing board for the TV show's creators, who have previously proven themselves capable of much better than this soggy and waterlogged miscalculation.

Top Critic The story is so good-naturedly silly that while not exactly challenging, it should keep even the grown-ups at least smiling.

...asks the audience to endure three times as much frenetic potty humor, repetitive jokes and screechy voice acting as they are used to. The result is exhausting.

SpongeBob is still SpongeBob, and his unflagging innocence and lack of irony make for a much-needed and much-appreciated hero.

Normally, when I’m watching it in my Scooby-Doo underwear eating my Cap’n Crunch cereal I don’t even think of it being a kid’s show but here I noticed it.

The writing is sharp and the characters cool, while at the film’s heart lies an innocence that resonates with us all.
