Soak Up With This One
With a swashbuckling beginning, "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" leaves the uninitiated a little edgy. Once Spongebob hits the screen, however, the newbies and us old fans settle in for a wonderful little nautical treat that is worthy of multiple viewings. The plot is rather simple, and not very new. Plankton is after the beloved and highly guarded secret recipe for Krabby Patties.....again. He decides to frame Mr. Krabbs for stealing King Neptune's crown. This results in Mr. Krabbs being taken into custody, or chilled. Spongebob and his idiot friend, Patrick Starfish, decide they will go to Shell City and recover the crown in order to prove Mr. Krabbs' innocence. What follows is typical, yet hilarious, Spongebob humor.Some won't understand, others will refuse to understand it. That's okay with me, because I enjoyed the entire film. If you love Spongebob, expect the same silly fun that he's always been known to produce. My daughter and myself have watched this film numerous times, and we'll probably watch for quite some time. It is definitely worthy of purchase.You have to admit that, with questions about his sexuality afoot as of late, Spongebob has managed to keep his icon status in check. Hopefully he'll be around for a long time to come.
