Review of The Emoji Movie (2017) by Jacoobi456 — 10 Sep 2017
Awful script:
The hand emoji (James Corden) says 'hashtag truth' and 'hashtag blessed' on two separate occasions... oh boy. Generic, soppy lines that are meant to develop the characters emotionally (keyword being MEANT).
Awful characters:
You couldn't care less about Gene and his stupid face, or his sidekick and Jailbreak. Even the 'subplot' with his parents is deplorable, so predictable and I know the comedy is meant (again, keyword being MEANT) to be that they're 'meh' emojis, none of the scenes were they expressed their love for each other were good. NONE. Just some yellow-faced wastes of code walking around for their son that abandoned them. Completely predictable plot.
Other things I can't be bothered to explain:
Dance sequences that outstay their welcome by the total time they're on screen.
Absurd, ridiculous amount of product placement. I mean, they legitimately explain how Candy Crush works and how to play it. A main 'plot' is them reaching Dropbox.... Who thought this was a good idea? WHO?? Just a disgrace on all these actors/actresses CVs.
