The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

“The jokes are consistently hilarious, with enough variety to tickle the funny bones of old salts and young fishies alike.”

Alonso Duralde, TheWrap · 88

“The visual effects and fast and furious quips combine for that rarest of releases: one that both parents and kids can enjoy (just like the show), leaving viewers of any age hoping that the next SpongeBob movie isn’t an entire decade off.”

Gwen Ihnat, The A.V. Club · 83

“At times there’s a genuine sense of daring to the film’s freewheeling anarchy, its refusal to stick to a central theme or impart any sort of lesson.”

Andrew Barker, Variety · 80

“The spirit of the series remains true: cheerfully random jokes, blink-and-you’ll-miss-them references and, above all, a silly, stubbornly sentimental streak that only the crabbiest cynic could dismiss.”

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News · 80

“It’s high-brow, low-brow, and just about every brow in between, replete with meta winkiness and manic energy.”
