Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone's user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression - except for Gene, an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become "normal" like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak.

Before the jacked-up antics get to be too much, director Tony Leondis and co-writers Erich Siegel and Mike White get in a few satiric licks at a technology we've all come to call home. Read full review

There have been worse ideas, but in this case the execution isn’t good enough to bring the notion of an emoji movie to funky, surprising life. Read full review

A work so completely devoid of wit, style, intelligence or basic entertainment value that it makes that movie based on the Angry Birds app seem like a pure artistic statement by comparison. Read full review

The film is boldly bad, yes, but also boldly boring. Read full review

There are plenty of words that can describe The Emoji Movie. Here are a few of them: Unfunny. Saccharine. Nonsensical. Painful. And, of course, crappy. (If you prefer the poop emoji, that works too.) Read full review

It is a soul-crushing disaster because it lacks humor, wit, ideas, visual style, compelling performances, a point of view or any other distinguishing characteristic that would make it anything but a complete waste of your time, not to mention that of the diligent animators who brought this catastrophe into being.

The Emoji Movie is the best movie ever made. I cannot believe that one film could sum up all our lives, but it does. The film is terrible, bland, short, and boring, just like ourselves. Never would I have thought that a movie would make me reflect on my incredibly useless life, but The EmojiThe Emoji Movie is the best movie ever made. I cannot believe that one film could sum up all our lives, but it does. The film is terrible, bland, short, and boring, just like ourselves. Never would I have thought that a movie would make me reflect on my incredibly useless life, but The Emoji Movie did. The Emoji Movie shows us that we're all just trapped in our own world, we're useless, and we should only have one sole purpose. The film is too good for all our puny human brains to process, and it even made Kim Jong Un cry. If you don't like the film, it is because you don't understand the sheer beauty and perfection that the film delivers. Go clean up your dirty minds and keep watching it until you understand it. This film is an international treasure and should be shown to everyone.… Expand

I Especially Hate this Movie Because First at all, It's Boring, Second, It's More Unfunny That Great Movies Like Spider-Man, Into The Spider Verse And Other Funny And Great Movies, and Third, It Mades Me Cringe, So if you Reading This, Don't Watch This Movie!

More of an advertisement for various applications you can get on your smartphone than an animated film that should have good characters and an engaging story.

One of the worst movies that I have ever seen. Luckily, I didn't pay to watch the movie. If you want to watch a good movie, go watch Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek The Third, Shrek Forever After, or the Bee Movie.
