Product: Spongebob Squarepants: Movie
Rating: 3.0
If you LOVE SpongeBob......
I took my two children (girls 5 & 7) to see this movie today. The 5 year old loved it. The 7 year old and I couldn't wait to get out of the theatre. My observation is that if you already love SpongeBob, Patrick, et al., you are likely to enjoy the movie. Otherwise, this film is not likely to appeal to you.I doubt that this movie will win many new fans for SpongeBob. There were only a handfull of people in the theatre - at a matinee during winter break. The plot was not enticing, and the characters have one or two "tricks" that become tiresome quickly. The cast of characters, who may be fine in small doses for the casual fan, drove me crazy after a few scenes.One cute aspect were the scenes in which the cartoon characters "interact" with real people. Those actually caught my attention.So, if you feel confident that you really like Bob and crew, this movie may be a good choice for you. Otherwise, approach with caution.
