The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie Review



SpongeBob is one of my favorite cartoons of all time. There. I said it. I know I should be "too old" to love this show as much as I do...but fuck that, I love it. I know the show has really dipped in quality over the past, you know, 5+ years or so, but I don't watch the new episodes, so I don't really give a shit. I mean, look at The Simpsons. That show has over stayed its welcome for quite a while now, but I will forever love that show. With all that wumbo jumbo (see what I did there? Oh, you don't like SpongeBob? Nevermind.) out of the way, it's time for me to start talking about this movie.

This movie came out in 2004, so I was 14 at the time. To say I was the perfect age for this movie at the time would be very accurate. Though I still love the shit out of this movie, I'd say my 14 year old self probably loved it more. Not only is this a heart warming movie, it's also completely bizarre and fucking hilarious. I'd imagine watching this movie stoned out of your mind would be quite the experience. Did I also mention that Scarlett Johansson provides her voice in this movie? Oh wait, that doesn't matter...because you don't get to see her being all hot and stuff. Moving on.

Fuck it, here she is being hot.

Another thing that is great about this movie (not to mention the show) is the great songs in it. The fact that this movie ends with SpongeBob saving the day with Rock and Roll is fantastic. Oh yeah, SpongeBob also gets drunk from eating way too much Ice Cream, seriously....it's hilarious.


See? He's wasted.

The whole point of this movie is that nobody believes in SpongeBob because he's a kid (Is he really? I have no idea how old he is.) But he and Patrick end up saving the day. It's so simple, and yet it works so well. You'd be an ass hole to just assume because it's a cartoon that you're going to hate this right off the bat. (I'm looking at you, Dan.) Trust me, if you give this movie a shot, you're going to love it as much as I do. With all of that being said, I'll leave you with a picture of Patrick in fishnets.

I can't really explain this one.
