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. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review

1/5
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. Go to Full Review
Leigh Monson Substream Magazine 09/25/2020
1/5
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. Go to Full Review

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

See more Feona S @Feonaswan 3d Movie concept enjoyable for kids and parents. Entertaining family movie 🍿 See more Joaquín M @Moviessuckatthistime 4d This has to be the worst movie of all time because it ruins the lore of emojis. Considering the fact that the LEGO movie and the emoji movie follow the same story like this is just crazy: emo woman, complicated villain, a hero but not exactly the hero. Wow, sony. You were making such great movies until you made the emoji movie. Garbage movie. See more Brayden B @Brayd3nBr0wn0514 4d I will admit, there are plenty of flaws in this movie and it may not tell the best story. But it sure tries to tell a good one. The concept is a great idea, they just didn't excecute it correctly. It's still a good movie nonetheless. With better writing and better people on board, it could have been better.
