The denizens of Bikini Bottom are thrown into jeopardy when their home is suddenly scooped out of the ocean and held hostage at a Texas laboratory. At the heart of this sea-nister plot is business tycoon Sue Nahmee (Wanda Sykes), who wants to transform the inhabitants of Bikini Bottom into Sea Pals -- a mass-manufactured product line of cuddly toys. It is up to intrepid squirrel/marine biologist Sandy Cheeks (Carolyn Lawrence) and happy-go-lucky sea sponge SpongeBob SquarePants (Tom Kenny) to find their way to Galveston to rescue their pals and return Bikini Bottom to its rightful place under the sea.

This isn't a cause for alarm: Bikini Bottom will live to see another day, and so will SpongeBob and his pals. But The Sandy Cheeks Movie is only a so-so day at the beach.

For general viewers, it may not pack as much of an emotional punch, but like SpongeBob himself, it’s thoroughly absorbing.

Rated: 3/5

It’s not as inspired as grown-ups might want, but innocuous enough for the kids.

In 3D, [the characters] feel very plastic and stale.

I watched the newest piece of content in the SpongeBob universe. However, this is not a SpongeBob movie. It is a Sandy Cheeks movie. That being said, it stuck to its roots while being a movie about Sandy Cheeks. But, I go in depth about how this movie feels in my own opinion. I'm a huge fan of SpongeBob and still watch it today. I go back to watch old episodes as a 20-year-old. This movie has fun moments, but if you want to know my full thoughts on everything, this film does well and badly. Be sure to watch my spoiler review coming Wednesday! 5.5/10 Edited · 17w

Dieser Film ist einfach nur ein Klumpen Scheiße.Alles an diesem Film ist so Kacke das man nach der ersten Minute sich die Augen ausstechen will und die Ohren zuhalten will um nichts mehr von dieser Scheiße mitzubekommen.Neben dem neuen The Crow die Absolute Voll Katastrophe des Jahres.
