Hidden inside a smartphone, the bustling city of Textopolis is home to all emojis. Each emoji has only one facial expression, except for Gene, an exuberant emoji with multiple expressions. Determined to become "normal" like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his best friend Hi-5 and a notorious code breaker called Jailbreak. During their travels through the other apps, the three emojis discover a great danger that could threaten their phone's very existence.

One wishes that this movie could be erased from existence - but for now, let's hope that the burning wreckage acts as a warning to never, ever do this again.

If I'm not dreaming, I've just seen one of the boldest mainstream American movies in ages.

Occasionally it's as if The Lego Movie is reaching out a long, friendly arm to Inside Out and falling into the chasm between. But the film is inventive too.

It's hard to decide what is most annoying about this cinematic botch: the ugly animation, the contrived story or the blatant product placement, or the fact that the filmmakers spoil almost every gag by underlining it twice.

It's a horrifying scene set atop a pile of trash, but the pure absurdity of its existence is enough to make one laugh in shock and disbelief.

No one beyond the smallest of children should be entertained by this shameless money grab that fails in virtually every way.

This movie might have been the most unfunniest, corny, cringe, stupid, dumb piece of media I have ever laid my eyes on. Maybe I would laugh if I was still fucking 2 years old but this piece of garbage worst than The Amazing Digital Circus. The story sucked, the main character is ahh, he can’t even keep a straight face for one fucking second, and don’t get me started on “the emoji bop????” What the fuck does that mean? Nobody’s life is gonna be changed because of a face changing emoji that you sent to your ugly ass girlfriend. This movie should get deleted off of the internet and sold to Israel because that’s all this movie is from anyway. I’d rather get raped than watch again. I disliked this movie. 0/5👎👎👎👎

The emoji movie was a terrible mockbuster of a movie. This wasn't a movie. I'd rather watch the entirety of Hazbin Hotel over this garbage.

I hate this movie so fucking much. I want that hour and 26 minutes of my life back. None of the jokes were funny, I was meh the entire time. The constant poop jokes WERE NOT FUNNY. I get that it’s a kids movie but i would never force a kid to watch this and ruin the rest of their life. I hated this movie before even watching it because of James cordon but i decided to give it a chance and that was the biggest mistake of my life. No good will ever come from watching this movie again, it would be better if it was never made. If I had a Time Machine, the first thing I would do (before stopping any major tragedies) would be going into the directors office and ripping the script into 2000 pieces AND THEN pissing all over it and lighting it on fire. But even that wouldn’t be enough, I would lock it in a fireproof safe in the middle of Indiana and drive an 18 wheeler into it and then blow it up. Any tv that ever played it needs to be destroyed. I can’t even explain how much I hate this movie
