Moviegoers are saying
This SpongeBob sequel divides audiences between nostalgic fans who find healing in the familiar yellow optimism and critics frustrated by formulaic plotting that recycles elements from the superior 2004 original. The film's breakout moment appears to be Ice Spice's 'Big Guy Pants OK' song, which has achieved meme status among viewers regardless of their overall opinion.

Inherently funny that the plot of this one is technically repeating elements of the first movie in many ways. Best part was the TMNT short they played before it about how AI sucks

- Cos is "meh" onThe SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants
It was okay. Way too sexual for a kids movie. Story was kind of good, would’ve been just as good without all the butt stuff. The song was kind of weird. Why would ice spice do a kids song?

- Weasty is "meh" onThe SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants
54/100. Some silly movies work, some don’t. Unfortunately, this leans towards the latter for me. This was a nice movie to go see in theatres and just have some fun with, but some things held it back quite a bit. The animation was too exaggerated for me, and most jokes didn’t land
Presi likedThe SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePantsAll the excitement because of ice spices song, it’s addictive but uh not the best collab for kids, it’s a good watch yk interesting story but it just got boring while they extended the stages just for crab to come later, you should have just kept it like it should have been

This movie is a classic of silliness—no ifs, ands, or butts.

It might not be the best of the bunch, but the infectious childlike spirit (and intestinal fortitude) remains firmly intact.

Search for SquarePants comes down vigorously on the side of exuberance.
