The Emoji Movie

In the mobile messaging app Textopolis, all emojis live with the hope of being used by the phone's owner. Meh, an emoji born without a filter, is determined to be a 'normal' emoji. He teams up with Hi-5, a popular emoji with too many fingers, and Jailbreak, a codebreaker emoji. Together, they embark on an adventure through the phone to find the code that will allow Meh to become a 'normal' emoji, all while evading deletion by a security program.

The Emoji Movie was met with overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and was a commercial disappointment. It is widely considered one of the worst films of 2017 and has been criticized for its shallow plot, weak humor, and blatant product placement.

• Universally panned for its nonsensical plot and lack of humor.

• Criticized for its heavy-handed product placement and perceived lack of creativity.

• Often cited as an example of a film that failed to translate a simple concept into engaging entertainment.

Google audience: Audiences were largely unimpressed with 'The Emoji Movie,' with many finding it to be derivative, unfunny, and a missed opportunity. While some younger viewers might have found mild entertainment, the overall sentiment from Google users indicates a lack of satisfaction and a consensus that the film failed to deliver on its premise.

Won multiple Golden Raspberry Awards including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Ensemble.

The film's premise was reportedly conceived by a studio executive who saw his daughter trying to text, and the film was fast-tracked into production with minimal development.
