wtf 😳
I’m somewhere in the middle on The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. I can see why people rock with it because the tone is there. The movie has stretches where it really works, then other stretches where it slips out of your hands. For me it lands as a decent watch, not a personal favorite.
