"The central theme of the movie is the pure joy the cartoon takes in childishness."
- Luke Y. Thompson, DALLAS OBSERVER -
"The movie itself triumphs by similar means; it is a marvel of unleashed childishness, like a birthday party on the edge of spinning out of control."
- Dana Stevens, THE NEW YORK TIMES -
"SpongeBob isn't just a hit, he's an institution. From a gang of pirates singing the theme song to countless variation of the Goofy Goober anthem, the audience of young and old sang along as if they were doing late-night karaoke."
- Sara Michelle Fetters, MOVIEFREAK.COM -
"Like the TV show it's based on, it's a daffy, enjoyable creation"
