Goofy as Hell...Give it a Shot!
I saw this movie earlier tonight with a friend, and both of us being fans on the show, we expected the same silly, slapstick humor that so often gived us the giggles. Well, we went to the latest showing (10:35), so there was only my friend and I and maybe three other groups of two people in the theater, so I'd say about 8-10 total. So the movie starts in the above sea world, which as fans who watch the show will know isn't cartoon-y (only BELOW the sea is cartoon), and we see a bunch of pirates singing an altered version of the theme song. This whole scene was kinda hokey (even for Spongebob) and pretty unfunny, but then we finally go underwater, thus go into the cartooniness. It's still pretty bland, that is until Patrick comes in about 10 minutes into the film. After that, the movie just seemed to be more entertaining. Patrick makes everything better.Anyway, the story is of Planton, still jealous of Mr. Krabs and his Krusty Krabs resturant making all that money tha could be his, finding out he had a Plan Z after all (if you wanna get it, go see the movie). This plan is to steal King Neptune's crown and frame Mr. Krabs, which would anger Neptune, causing him to come after Krabs, an if Planton's lucky, kill him, giving Planton leeway to break into the Krusty Krab and steal the resturant's Krabby Patty secret formula. Well, he does steal Neptune's crown, so Neptune comes to Mr. Krabs and is just about to kill him, that is, before Spongebob interferes. It turns out Planton hide Neptune's crown in a far away forbidden place, a place with monsters and a evil fish eating cyclops. Neptune agrees to give Spongebob and Patrick 6 days to find his crown, and if they don't, Krabs will die. A rather silly plot when you think about it...but you're in Bikini Bottom now.This movie, for the most part, is pretty entertaining, for kids and adults. I'm 14, and my friend and I both enjoyed it very much. There's the humor for the kids, then there's the humor for the adults (not explicit humor or anything like that though), and then there's just the humor that anyone can like. There were several parts where my friend and I were on the verge of tears...it's just a hilarious movie. Patrick of course gives the most laughs, with his odd facial expressions and constant stupidity.I don't recommend this movie to people without much of a sense of humor...you won't like it. This humor is completely childish and offbeat. But if you like silly stuff, you'll absolutely love this movie, no matter how old you are. And the battle scene between Spongebob, Patrick and the bounty hunter Dennis on the back of a swimming David Hasselhoff is a must see.
