A strange, fascinating children’s movie in the mold of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Hillenburg’s film is obviously torn between its inherently adolescent audience and the adults (myself included) who find the television show wildly hilarious. Add to that a peculiar psychadelic scene, some bizarre dialogue (“You don’t need a license to drive a sandwich”), and a great cameo from an overly tan David Hasselhoff, and this film holds true to what’s made it such a great (if not wonderfully infantile) franchise.
