Animated feature with voices of Alec Baldwin, Scarlett Johansson, Jeffrey Tambor and David Hasselhoff based on the Nickelodeon TV series, the most-watched childrenÕs TV show ever. The movie depicts the idyllic deep sea Bikini Bottom where SpongeBob flips patties at the Krusty Krab eatery. His adventure is to thwart the villainous Plankton, owner of the rival Chum Bucket, from his frame-up of SpongeBobÕs boss in stealing King NeptuneÕs crown. Neptune's daughter Missy may help, but a biker thug of terrifying Shell City does not. Like so many Saturday cartoons thrown up onto the big screen, the film is too small of purpose, theme, animation technique and characters to please any but kids and ardent followers. For others, it's a crowd of noisy shapes and unsubstantial characters occasionally saying funny things. You have to be in love with that annoying character to be able to sit through the film.
