So Chris Stuckmann's Review of this is pure gold. He drinks and talks in a monotonous voice before screaming "IT SUCKED!!" 

 

Ironically...we should have all seen this coming though. TJ Miller had his very first interaction with an Emoji, in Deadpool and the Emoji he had the interaction with was the shit emoji.

The critical response section of this movie's Wikipedia page is pretty funny. Real clinical stuff.

Critical response

The Emoji Movie was panned by critics, with several unfavorably comparing it to Inside Out and Wreck-It Ralph.[8][9] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 8% based on 36 reviews, with an average rating of 2/10. The site's critical consensus simply displays a no symbol ("🚫") in place of text.[38] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 9 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".[39] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[37]

David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a D, writing: "Make no mistake, The Emoji Movie is very, very, very bad (we're talking about a hyperactive piece of corporate propaganda in which Spotify saves the world and Sir Patrick Stewart voices a living turd), but real life is just too hard to compete with right now".[40]Alonso Duralde of TheWrap was also critical of the film, calling it "a soul-crushing disaster because it 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".[18]

Glen Kenny of The New York Times described the film as "nakedly idiotic", stating that the film plays off a Hollywood idea that the "panderingly, trendily idiotic can be made to seem less so".[41]Owen Gleiberman of Variety lambasted the film as "hectic situational overkill" and "lazy" while viciously criticizing the film, writing: "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."[42] Writing in for The Guardian, Charles Bramesco called the film "insidious evil", expressing the view that it was an little more than an exercise in advertising smartphone downloads to children, thinly disguised as a feature film.[43]
