The Emoji Movie Ratings & Reviews
The Atlantic
Megan Garber
The Emoji Movie is not just a critical flop, but also a metaphor for a Hollywood that is struggling to find the line between branding that audiences love and branding that audiences resent.
Austin Chronicle
Danielle White
Is "meh" the sound the world will make when it finally sputters out? It doesn't matter because we are clearly #sooverit.
The New Republic
Clio Chang
It would be hard to forgive The Emoji Movie its "meh" plotline and the fact that it is literally one giant ad for apps, but its most unforgivable sin is that it perpetuates the notion that emojis are childish.
Chesapeake Family Magazine
Roxana Hadadi
The Emoji Movie is the worst of cinema made for children and families-a lazy, barely developed story that relies on audience recognition of phone apps. Not funny or fun.
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
The film is boldly bad, yes, but also boldly boring.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
There's a justifiable self-loathing running through The Emoji Movie, a fragile attempt to (sigh) deconstruct the meaning of Emojis while also (sigh) demonstrating the profound possibility that Emojis are the language of the future.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
A demonstration of artistic abdication at its most venal, but will the kids like it?
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
Hear that? It's the end of the world.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
There could be far worse ways to spend 86 minutes. But maybe, just maybe, it'd be the better choice to spend those 86 minutes outside, or reading a book, or talking face-to-face with another human being. Because The Emoji Movie could not be more meh.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
This movie's "believe in yourself" message is borne out, in a perverse way, by the very fact that it even exists. And yet the whole thing remains nakedly idiotic.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
The good news is The Emoji Movie, co-written and directed by Tony Leondis, is not evil. The bad news is it's just mediocre, or in emoji parlance, simply "meh."
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
The Emoji Movie shows how low Hollywood will sink for easy 💰.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
Looking back, it seems so obvious. We should have seen The Emoji Movie's utter awfulness coming. But as with so many other things in 2017, hindsight is not so much 20/20 as a giant regret generator.
AV Club
Vadim Rizov
As far as expanding on smartphone-related IP, this is an even weaker starting point than Sony Animation's recent The Angry Birds Movie.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
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.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
If only this smartphone-centric dud, so happy to hawk real-world apps to its audience, could have done the same in its release strategy - coming out via Snapchat, where it would vanish shortly after arrival. But even that wouldn't be fast enough.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
It is one of the darkest, most dismaying films I have ever seen, much less one ostensibly made for children.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
The Emoji Movie is almost as bad and brutally depressing as everything else in 2017.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
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.
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
Crappy. (If you prefer the poop emoji, that works too.)
