The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run

Unfortunately, the film didn't feel like it really had a story. It felt like a series of sketches, and most of them weren't very funny.

Though not as joltingly outrageous as its predecessors, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge On The Run is a winsomely wacky good time, alive with laughs and light-hearted lunacy.

There's nothing stiff or self-serious about "Sponge on the Run," which plays equally to young children and college stoners alike.

Sweet, silly, with that profoundly bizarre world view that makes a snail trail gag open to everyone for a laugh, this may not change SpongeBob forever, but it's more SpongeBob as we love him, and that's all the fun you can need.

Watching one of these movies is like having a vision of Cthulhu; you walk away from the experience a changed person, possibly raving about the apocalypse.

The movie is an act of loony generosity we shouldn't refuse. This is ludicrous entertainment for frazzled times.

This is the first Spongebob movie to make a full shift to CG animation, and it’s honestly all the lesser for it. The whole movie feels oddly restrained because of the animation switch.

Among all of the SpongeBob movies, Sponge on the Run is easily the weakest of the three.

I always welcome a hit of SpongeBob's particular brand of candy-coated insanity.

One of the heirs to Looney Tunes. Witty, slow to hit its stride, but enjoyable nonetheless.
