Plot Synopsis
Note: This will only cover the SpongeBob plot

SpongeBob wakes up and heads to work at the Krusty Krab for its eleventy-seventh anniversary. Upon arriving he, Mr. Krabs, Squidward and Patrick get stuck inside the freezer after an incident with SpongeBob's ice sculpture. After panicking a bit, they head into the vents and eventually split-up.

After falling a bit, they land on Plankton which leads to SpongeBob remembering when Mr. Krabs told him the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. Before Plankton can write down the formula, Mr. Krabs in the flashback throws him out saying he'll never get the formula.

The crew eventually get out of the vents via a battering ram, and after a musical number everyone enters the Krusty Krab, and the film ends with SpongeBob laughing.

Reception
Truth or Square received generally polarized reviews, most of them criticizing the Patchy segments. As of March 26, 2020 the film has a 5.7/10 on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).

Roy Hrab of DVD Verdict said "This is without a doubt the lamest SpongeBob episode I have ever seen[...] In fact, nothing interesting happens at all. The Patchy interludes and reliance on cameos merely draws attention to the episode's lack of substance."
