Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

The live-action sequences, in which Antonio Banderas chews the pirate scenery, may not live up to the Looney Tunes madness of the cartoons, but for sheer head-scrambling craziness this is hard to beat.

Rated: 4/5

Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

Intermittently, SpongeBob's latest feature is very funny indeed, even for non-devotees of the original series.

Rated: 3/5

Wendy Ide

Times (UK)

Sponge Out of Water has a frenetic, Looney Tunes pacing and a head-spinning, surreal story that makes you wonder whether it's aimed at children or stoners.

Rated: 4/5

Gets a little water logged when the characters hit land and turn into CGI creations, but it never loses its sense of silly whether it is above or below sea level.
