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.

marcellosalvadori I wish most people of this planet could recognize what a masterpiece of cinema this movie actually is. Not only it's the best animated movie ever made, it's also hands down the best actual MOVIE ever made. I have no words to express my happiness when I first saw this amazing and breathtaking movie. The screenplay for this movie is absolutely astonishing and riveting. The animation is one of the best i've ever seen. The humor ALWAYS hits and its often clever and funny.To wrap it up, this is an amazing movie.

tjgoalie13 This is an animated movie that often gets overlooked and forgotten but should be remembered as a modern comedy classic. What is most overlooked, and surprising is the depth and narrative heft of the film. The Spongebob Movie is often hilarious, gleefully silly, and surprisingly deep. It may never get the accreditation it deserves, but the Spongebob Movie is a film that should be re-evaluated, and maybe it would gain recognition as a under looked animated gem.The humor in the Spongebob Movie maybe directed at children, but it would take a joyless person who takes life way too seriously not to find the film funny. The jokes are inventive and come early and often. The film is a perfect manifestation of the TV show in filmic form, without feeling like a bloated episode. It's also great, because in an age when animated TV Shows have begun to cater more to stoners than children, including the latter, this movie still has an appeal for everybody.The film is gleefully silly, which only makes the film that much funnier. Admittedly there are a few moments when the film oversteps the threshold of what is funny, and what is over-the-top, but for the most part the film maintains a fun tone. One of the single greatest strengths of is the villain, Dennis, who's one of the funniest villains of all time. The sheer stupidity of some characters, matched with the deadpan seriousness of Dennis makes every scene he's in, even more hilarious.Above the humor, The Spongebob Movie is also surprisingly deep, in both character development and the film's message. While viewers may not think about these things while watching Spongebob, the film has a great message about growing up, and how the world can forget to be silly every once and awhile. The film is actually a really great portrait of today's society, and how everybody feels the need to grow up so fast instead of embracing their inner child.This is a movie that can get overlooked by adults, because it's silly and childish, but as a reflection of the society, the film is brilliant. The film is funny, and is a great film to sit back and watch with the family. For the best viewing experience one should embrace their inner child, which isn't as bad as some would try to make it sound. In the end The Spongebob Movie should be considered a comedy classic, as it's exponentially funnier than some of the best comedies today.

trooper5783 When I was a kid, I loved SpongeBob. A LOT. I've seen all the episodes of it, had some of the plush toys, and rewatched all the DVDs I had, and I knew every line and moment by heart. I remember watching the first film in the theater, and I loved it. I had the DVD of the film, for my love of it(my mom had to buy it again and again because I was not worthy of trust with DVDs). So I rewatched the first film to relive memories, and it was awesome! The jokes are frequently clever and silly, just like the show. Some are bodily functions gags and slapstick, but a lot of them are the highlights of the film. The animation is very nice, whether it be the backgrounds or the Tex Avery-inspired character animation. The music is also soothing and fun to listen to. Overall, before you see Sponge Out Of Water, see the original for its zany comedy antics, vivid animation, and it's really cool soundtrack. Even if Sponge Out Of Water is hilarious, this one is a mile funnier.
