Apart from being made from re-used ideas, the movie is also badly toned.
What should be serious (to the plot, the characters) is played sarcastically.
Keanu Reeves character was supposed to be played light-touch and serious, but was played flippantly, as if the story is a joke.
An announcer introducing a temporary villain character came across homely and attracted to the villain, even though their image was supposed to create fear and worry for the good guys, not attraction for the villain and doom for the good guys.
A scene involving excessive love/patronising of spongebob by many characters for more than 10 minutes, including the love of failure, drawn out with tears, sympathy trophies. Later, a song & dance that's completely tone deaf.
Everything at the end is basically a break down of all character roles into an "it's okay to fail, everyone loves everyone", full stockholm syndrome moment, then happy dance music plays.
The "pick yourself up and dust yourself off" message should have been a 5 minute segment, and the characters should have been themselves.
