WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the underwater town of Bikini Bottom, the secret recipe for the Krabby Patty – the primary item on the menu at popular establishment the Krusty Krab – is stolen by forces unknown, causing the town to descend into chaos. It is up to SpongeBob SquarePants (Kenny) and his friends Patrick the Starfish (Fagerbakke), Squidward Tentacles (Bumpass), Mr. Krabs (Brown) and Sandy the Squirrel (Lawrence) to reclaim it, in a journey which eventually requires them to go up to the surface…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Nickelodeon’s most popular cartoon series gets a second big-screen adventure, this time incorporating more CG animation, more creativity to go with its overall strangeness, and Antonio Banderas let off the chain as a burger-consuming pirate.
