Kambole Campbell One Room With A View 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. Rated: 1/5 Aug 25, 2018 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) If I'm not dreaming, I've just seen one of the boldest mainstream American movies in ages. Rated: 4/5 Sep 13, 2017 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 7, 2017 Full Review Jason Best What's On TV 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. Rated: 1/5 Dec 20, 2020 Full Review Leigh Monson Substream Magazine 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. Rated: 1/5 Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com No one beyond the smallest of children should be entertained by this shameless money grab that fails in virtually every way. Rated: .5/4.0 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Erik G I actually love this movie. I watch it yesterday night and it was funny and interesting. I thought I was going to hate it because I heard it was the worst movie ever but I don’t understand why? It had good joke and movie had plot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Oak R Okay so not going to lie I went into this movie kind of hopeful and I was really excited to see it. But I have never watched a movie that sucked as so badly. Like the movie would have been better if it was like about a 🍑 at this point cuz it doesn't make sense it doesn't like the story is awful like half of the s*** doesn't like I know it's like about emojis but half of the s*** doesn't make sense. You have one thing happening and then there's a major plot hole. I would not recommend this movie to my worst enemy. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Anne P I kinda liked it until I read everyone elses reviews and then it got me thinking whether it really was worth watching...but the truth is, that it wasn't. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Mathias G This could be considered as sacrilege to the seventh art. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review claire c Watching this movie feels like drinking watered-down Kool-aid from grandma fridge dispenser to go along side a breakfast of leftover chicken thighs where it is mostly fat. If you are into that, this movie is perfect for you! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Leo An animated disaster that nobody cares about. This movie doesn’t deserve to exist Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
