5/5 Good combinationi of many episodes
  by C. D. Pause (Ann Arbor, MI USA)
If you're looking to avoid buying entire seasons of Spongebob, this video is a good way of doing it. It allows you to get several good episodes that generally center around a theme - this one involves the constant battles between Mr. Krabbs and Plankton for the Krabby Patty recipe. My children got several laughs out of this DVD.

4/5 The kids will probably kill each other if they didn't get...

..at least 3 times a week, no joke!!

They live for Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Gary, Sandy, and Mrs. Puff.

But I don't and can't blame them really; Spongebob is a catch and from time to time, the show itself is actually quite funny. It all takes place at Bikini Bottom, a town underwater, away from most sharks and beneath all the humans who dwell on earth. From time to time, Spongebob and Patrick make it a rare habit to come up out of the water, and take a looksee around. Immediately, they puff up like Mrs. Puff, Spongebob's driving teacher. He never learns how to drive successfully either. He's no good in that department, and should stick to the Krabby Patties!

Anyway, I'm gonna describe and then rate all of the characters and then rate a few aspects of the actual film:

Spongebob Squarepants: Very silly, upbeat and so nice to everyone that is nice to him. Even if you're mean, he tries to see the good in everyone. My second favorite character. A

Patrick Star: Super goofy and kinda spaced out, he's basically Spongebob's right-hand man. His personality, while goofy, consists of being nice to Spongebob but he tends to have an anger spout here and there. An OK character. B-

Squidward Tentacles: Another keeper, character-wise. He's the moody, selfish and very negative critic of the series. Many enjoy his company, especially Spongebob, but funnily, Squidward doesn't feel half the happiness when around the yellow sponge. He'd rather have his hands around his neck, doing the unthinkable. B+

Mr. Krabs: Very work-oriented, and a decent man who tries to instill the work ethic into Spongebob and Squidward also. Spongebob follows, and Squidward carries on, as if Mr. Krabs said NOTHING. Not one of my favorite characters. C-

Gary: My absolute favorite! I can't really pinpoint a true-blue personality to him, but he makes cat sounds, is usually quiet, which leads me to believe that he's an introvert as opposed to an extrovert, and loves Spongebob till the ends of the sandy ends of Bikini Bottom. A+

Pearl Krabs: The whiny, big-headed whale-daughter of Mr. Krabs. She's so ridiculously spoiled that I would slap her if I was an imaginary fish, residing in Bikini Bottom. She's not a bad character, and is usually super-dramatic. B+

Sandy: Level-headed and sweet, Sandy is nearly as friendly as Spongebob. Get on her bad side though, and she's unafraid to show you a piece of her mind! B

Mrs. Puff: She holds one of the absolute worst jobs in Bikini Bottom; trying to teach the unteachable Spongebob to drive! She goes crazy every time she spends 5 minutes with him, and for very, very good reason. A-

Cover Art: B
Story: B-
Dialogue: C+
Characters: A-
Comic Relief: B-
Overall: B-

3.7 stars.

5/5 Friend or Foe?: One of the BEST!

I've enjoyed this DVD ever since I got it for my B-day. I'm a HUGE Spongebob fan, and when I saw these in Wal-Mart, I knew I wanted them.
The episodes are:
Friend or foe: A-
The Original Fry Cook: B
Night Light: B+
Rise and Shine: A-
Waiting: B
Fungus Among Us: C
Spy Buddies: A+
I Wasn't very happy about Fungus Among Us. Who wants to see a episode about Spongebob getting infected with Fungus??!!
But besides that, I think DVD is 5 stars worth. I've been watching this ever since I got them for my birthday along with the other spongebob DVD'S I got. You won't be disappointed once you get Friend or Foe!


5/5 Friend or foe
  by
I liked this dvd very much. I have enjoyed the funny episodes like Rise and Shine, Spy Buddies and Night Light. Rise and Shine is how Patrick gets ready in the morning. Spy Buddies is when Mr.Krabs sends Spongebob and Patrick to spy on Plankton. Plankton is actually in Robo-Krabs and Mr.Krabs is actually in Plankton's suit. (It's very weird but so funny) Night Light is when Spongebob gets lots of night lights because he is afraid after reading a scary book. He disturbs Patrick, Squidward and Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy. The Original Fry Cook is slightly dull. Spongebob gets jealous when Mr. Krabs adores Jim, the past fry cook. Friend or Foe, Waiting and Fungus Among Us were average episodes. Check it out in the library or buy it. You won't be sorry.

4/5 A Solid New Spongebob
  by Kathleen L. Newman (Sherborn, MA)
I own this DVD, and i thought some episodes were hilarious! My favorite being Spy Buddies. There are tons of great jokes. I also liked Rise and Shine, a four-minute short about Patrick's "daily" routine. It's really funny too. The downside to this DVD is that it has flaws too. I thought the episode The Original Fry Cook wasn't very good, and it didn't have jokes! Fungus Among Us is an iffy episode at best. It's point isn't very good for the kids who are really into this TV Show. Night Light is another pretty good episode involving Spongebob getting scared by a book before bedtime. It's very funny because he brings many different lights into the house and uses them to wake up all the neighbors (not intended). All in all, a solid DVD buy it!
