"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 2/4 "These daffy sea creatures pale enormously next to the infinitely superior joys of The Incredibles and The Polar Express."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3/4 "The film is not only true to the show’s zany spirit, but manages to sustain that zaniness for a whole 90 minutes."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "Watching 82 minutes of it in a theater made me as giddy and hyper as if I'd eaten a pound of cotton candy and washed it down with crack."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "Sprightly, colorful and fun...Familiarity with the characters will doubtlessly increase the enjoyment, but even the uninitiated should have a pleasant time."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 7/10 "[For] kids (and kids-at-heart) who can appreciate nerdy lunacy."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "It has a freshness and energy that make a reassuring change from the typical hackneyed “family” films, both animated and live-action, that are ... foisted off on children."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 2/5 "SpongeBob SquarePants is one of those newer generation cartoons where obnoxiousness has replaced bitter sarcasm and gross-out humor has replaced violent slapstick."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr B+ "We're all goofy goobers deep down inside, and it's great news that there's finally a movie that invites us to embrace it."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll B "Aquarium and seaside gift shops may never seem the same"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford B- "SpongeBob’s resilient, Pollyana-like nature is hard to resist."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "War is peace. Ignorance is strength. Freedom is slavery. SpongeBob is God."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/5 "Simply too much fun for anyone not to enjoy it."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "Sublimely ridiculous – and absolutely hilarious."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "Spongebob is as trippily goofy as ever, but it's still just a television show on a big screen."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3.5/5 "Almost blissfully silly"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "There are a few laughs for adults in this film. There are a few clever cultural references. Mostly, however, I found it underwhelming."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "What's remarkable about The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie is how much care Hillenburg and his crew of writers, animators and actors have taken to make it undeniably movielike."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 6/10 Read review   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel 3/5 Read review   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 9/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 78% Fresh Page   1
