The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

SpongeBob Squarepants was a large part of my childhood. So, of course, I decided to see the movie even though I had to go alone.

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water had an interesting sense of humor throughout the film. It rarely relied on cheap gags like a fart joke. I wouldn't go so far as to call the jokes comedic genius, but there were a few that surprised me. They did end up slipping in some jokes for the parents who went with their kid(s).

I understand that it is a kids movie, but that doesn't mean that it can't have better writing. The story structure seemed a bit off and all over the place at times. There's no real clear arc. The climax was a bit uninteresting and the resolution felt kind of disappointing.

When compared to the first SpongeBob movie, this movie sort of pales in comparison. The first Spongebob movie had a good story structure, a clear arc, and a good climax and resolution.

This SpongeBob edition is a fun movie to see. It is enjoyable. But there isn't really anything to talk about afterwards. It's just a kids movie with no real complexity to it. Sometimes it is enough for a kids movie to just be a kids movie.
