Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
The popular tv series makes me laugh no matter how many times I have seen each episode. I finally had the time to see the animated film based on the tv series recently.The premise of the film has Plankton scheming to steal the recipe for krabby patties from Eugene Crabs. He does this by framing Mr. Crabs for a crime he didn't commit which was stealing the crown from King Neptune. In order to save Mr. Crabs from a horrible fate, Spongebob and Patrick quickly goes on a road trip to find the missing crown which they are given only six days to find and bring back. During the journey, Spongebob has a self-discovery moment about himself and becomes more aware of himself.Although the film wasn't as laugh out loud funny as the tv series, I still enjoyed the film for what it is. Some of the funniest moments involved Patrick Star. I loved seeing him wearing fishnet stockings and stiletto high heels. I also had to laugh when he parachuted into the grand opening ceremony with his boxer shorts and wearing absolutely nothing but his birthday suit. I was relieved to see that Sandy Squirrel was not given any screen time since I always found her annoying. The musical in the last five minutes of the film was not terribly interesting nor entertaining. I thought that was pretty pointless making the ending rather disappointing.The various guest appearances were great. I even thought David Hasselhoff was funny and I can't stand the guy. Scarlett Johanssen's appearance as Mindy the mermaid was pretty memorable but brief. I loved Jeffrey Tambor as King Neptune. He was so over the top. Even Alec Baldwin was good as the hired hitman Dennis. Despite its flaws, "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" was very entertaining.
