...think it was. It is also quite funny. I would recommend it to any audience. If you’ve recently become a baby mama, step out to your local movie theater and see SpongeBob for some old-fashioned family fun. With all-star additions like the aforementioned Hasselhoff, Alec Baldwin and the lovely Scarlett Johansson, this movie receives three sponges and a starfish...
