Joey goes to the movies; SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE, 27 November 2004
Author: Joey Nolfi (SimpleAndClean@netzoola.com) from Coraopolis, PA

Spongebob takes hilarity to an all-new level. It's almost an art form. This film proves to me that Spongebob can actually make it as a good movie that keeps the feel of the show. Viewers of the show will appreciate that. This movie completely surprised me with it's dozen-or-more laugh-out-loud moments.

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie has everything a good animated film should have. Heart, funny voice actors, good animation, and (an unwritten rule in the book of creating an animated moie) a great message for the younger viewers. That message is to be true to yourself because you are who you are, and you should be yourself no matter what. Also, this movie is so lol funny. Spongebob and Patrick are so outrageously funny.

BOTTOM LINE: Sea it (haha). I know this may sound silly, but I truly think that Spongebob brings out the best in people. Spongebob has a unique style of comedy, and young-and-old appreciate that. When you see adults taking their children in the theater to see this and they are laughing with their children and enjoying the movie, you'll know what I mean.

Letter Grade: B+ #Score: 8.5/10 Stars: ***/4
