FILM: The SpongeBob Movie - Sponge Out Of Water 3D (dir: Paul Tibbitt, 2015)

REVIEW No. 550!

"Unleash the condiments!"
"With relish!"

At the same time a faithful translation and successful expansion of the TV show format, the second SpongeBob movie is lively, supremely silly and generally entertaining.  With a simple but surprisingly strong through-story, even the superhero-infused third act that takes our cartoon characters onto dry land works, with effective placing of well-designed CGI-characters and strong use of 3D.  Like the (literal) contents of SpongeBob's brain, it is all sugar-rush and little substance, but Sponge Out Of Water is extremely good fun while it lasts.
