I've watched this movie about 50 times before (not exaggerating), owned 3 dvd's of it, and watched it almost every day. With that being said, it's a good movie, but it isn't like a lot of people might make it out to be. If you want to kick back and just enjoy a fun, silly movie with your friends or family, this movie is for you. It's no Titanic, it's no Matrix or Spy Kids, but it gets the job done, and it does its job very well. The movie looks nice for animation in 2004 as well. When I first saw it, I thought it was made in 2011. There's some funny stuff in there, like the "Now that we're men" sequence in the movie, and I thought a few others were pretty good in there too, like "I'm a goofy goober" (who could forget that part, right?). Overall, it's a good movie to chill and watch with the boys, the family, anybody. It's a good introduction to Spongebob and Bikini Bottom's calm and chaotic nature, and Spongebob and Patrick's friendships and character. If you haven't watched this movie before, give it a try, and I'm sure you'll like it, or even love it.
