‘Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie’ Review: SpongeBob’s Latest Is a Chipmunk off the Old Blockhead
If you want to catch SpongeBob SquarePants' new movie, you'll need to swim over to Netflix, where his STEM-luvin' squirrel pal gets her own adventure.
Pulling out her portable computer, Sandy immediately uncovers the culprit: Someone named Sue Nahmee (sounds like “tsunami”) has stolen her friends — starfish Patrick, cephalopod Squidward and crustacean Mr. Krabs, all played by the original cast — for a mysterious “Sea Pals” project. By contrast, these recent SpongeBob movies strike a nice balance, using live-action much as the series has: to augment the animation or, in some cases, to make a loopy situation seem all the more surreal (like the zen tumbleweed with Keanu Reeves’ face on it we saw in “Sponge on the Run,” or David Hasselhoff’s speedboating cameo in the 2004 feature). The rowdy outing also boasts a run-in with rattlesnakes, a couple of musical numbers and a Cheeks family reunion, featuring Johnny Knoxville as twin brother Randy, Craig Robinson as her proud Pa and versatile voice actor Grey DeLisle as four other characters.
