Spongebob, well I've seen the show before so I knew what I was getting into. Think Ren and Stimpy for kids. It's a little too "smart-ass humour" for my liking....it offers little in the way of ed-ma-cational value other than teaching your kid how to be a wise-ass, which tends to be a trend with kids these days, just my opinion, feel free to disagree. It did offer something of a message that kids can overcome many odds and that they can succeed but it almost seems like the creators threw that message out there to snow the audience to make up for an hour and half of toilet humour. So I probably do have some regrets, taking my kids to this personally.
That said it's possible I've probably missed the boat since the movie is reviewing really well right now.
The movie has an extremely creative opening involving a musical sequence and live action pirates but that creative spark is lost to double-entendres not really appropriate in this type of movie (in fact they were probably jacked up for the movie). They're intended for the adult watcher but they're no where half as smart as what pixar can pull off.
The David Hasslehoff cameo is completely lost on the movie's intended audience in that they had no idea who he was. So I question the relevance of including him (was sort of funny but like the rest of the movie "over the top")
I'd say the movie is recommended *only* if you are a fan. My recommendation would be to have a run through first unless you are completely comfortable with your kids viewing this kind of humour.
