Score: 5.5 / 10

That’s the only predominant thought I had coming into Sponge on The Run. The third film based on the 20(!)-year-old Nicktoon is one of the first major theatrical releases during the current COVID-19 pandemic – at least in Canada, anyway. The US won’t get the movie until 2021 on VOD. Will this be the movie that convinces Canadian movie fans to come back to a big-screen experience? Not really.

The setup is immediately familiar to those who’ve even slightly watched the show. SpongeBob SquarePants (Tom Kenny) is living the good life living in the underwater town of Bikini Bottom, spending his days working as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab and goofing around with his friends. This time around, his beloved pet snail Gary gets kidnapped by King Poseidon (Matt Berry) and must travel to the Lost City of Atlantic City with his best friend Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) to get him back.

Final Thoughts:

While it’ll be loud and colorful enough to entertain younger viewers, but Sponge On The Run lacks a lot of the creativity that’s made the show last so long with fans.
