“Wow.”

I think Robbie did a brilliant job with this review. A measured and thoughtful essay that really gets right to the heart of all the problems with this film.

"It makes The Boss Baby look like the work of Studio Ghibli." That's beautiful

There's no hiding from this, Mark.

Kermode would've had a field day with this

1. Just imagine him sighing and saying "The Emoji Movie", and you're half way there. 2. The films he doesn't see on his holiday he usually doesn't catch up on unless he really wants to. I don't think he'll really want to see this.

I'm convinced this movie killed Mark, hence why he's not the person reviewing.

Second that, Robbie Collin has a great articulate style. I also used to love it when Nigel Floyd and Boyd Hilton used to fill in for Mark as well, and I wish they'd come back and do more shows as well.

"Makes the Boss Baby look like Studio Ghibli" - XD I do wish Mark had reviewed this, but this Robbie Collin guy's pretty damn good too.

Keith does Mark even know what an emoji is?

What a sad state of affairs when studios get parents to PAY to have themselves and their children exposed to Paid advertising for an hour and half. Such a shame and quite frankly it angers me knowing just how much money and distribution goes into something like the emoji movie when other films and independent filmmakers struggle to get the distribution and funding.

Anyone else think that it's oddly fitting that Doc Brown, upon hearing that Patrick Stewart plays the poo emoji, unconsciously re-creates the Captain Picard face palm? Also, I think the way Robbie Collin says poo is very funny.

Need a GIF of Ben Bailey-Smith's face-palm at 3:50 .

Oh great, now we'll never get to know what Mark thinks of this. C'mon BBC, why can't some movies be reviewed by more than one critic?

Mayo's substitutes interrupt less. That's really nice.

Mark where are you

I can confidently say that this review is significantly more entertaining than the movie. I haven't, and won't, see it, but sometimes you just know these things

It's not just an Inside Out rip-off, it's also a Wreck-It-Ralph rip-off AND a Lego Movie rip-off.

Patrick Stewart plays a review of the film.

Robbie Collin: I cannot imagine cinema this year getting any worse than this. Adam Sandler: Challenge accepted.

It's ok guys, I'm sure we will all see mark talk about it at the end of the year, probably.

If it were hand drawn 2D animation then this movie might not have happened because someone would have eventually put their hand up and ask why are we putting so much time and effort into this turd of a movie.

Really hard not to see any media for this film and think of that one image of steve buscemi in dressed as a high school student going 'how do you do fellow kids?' Sony pictures seems to be creatively dead. Thats something you couldn't even say about Canon at their worst. Drink that in.

Wheres Mark??

love robbie

It would be great if Sony Pictures just cleaned house and hired people that cared about their work product.

Is that Doc Brown in for Mayo? Cool choice - I like him as a comedian/rapper. Apparently he's now a radio presenter too! Good for him.

Mark, please review this film!

I'm getting the feeling Robbie Collin hasn't seen Wreck it Ralph.

So it's basically "Divergent", but with emojis?

Is that my bruddah doc?

This film isn't going to make any money but I'm sure Sony don't mind, the only reason they made it is to attempt for the trademark so they get kickback from the silly emoji merchandise you see on the high street

Christopher C On a $50 million budget. $25 million isn't even half way to breaking even and most studios consider a gross double the budget to be a success. $25 million on opening weekend isnt great, and the across the board terrible reviews this movie is getting are not going to help it. It was truly rushed, and is purely about the merchandising rights, why else would they spend 7 figures on the license yet only give the film (which is an animated one and thus would usually take far longer) only a 2 year development window.

@fromthehaven94

Henry Thomas I can't answer the question about the movie's development, but the first weekend numbers indicates an audience that didn't care about the reviews. I wasn't suggesting the movie would do gangbusters, just that it wouldn't be a financial failure. Considering the budget, it's too early to tell.

Kermode says to be successful a movie has to make at least 2.5 times its budget.

Upon hearing Patrick Stewart's name my reaction was the same as Ben's. :-/

"bidding war?!" "yeah the bidding war to make this movie" *sighs* "oh god"

When there is the review embargo... Well, just watch the trailer. You will get my point

"poo within poo"

Why, WHY did Mark not review this???

I'll take that bet. £50 on Mark not loving this.

Robbie sold this for me.

I'm not ashamed to admit I saw this "thing." I LOVE my animation and I wanted to see how bad it truly was (did not pay money for it.) Trust me when I say it's exactly as bad as you've heard but not in a "so bad it's funny" way., It's just filled with wall to wall product placement and HORIFIC puns/writhing in general when it's not ripping off better films. Came out thinking it was the most cynical film that I'd ever seen.

I can't believe that there were actually studios, as in plural, interested in making this "movie"... Tells you something about the industry I guess...

I’m not a huge Robbie fan, but my sweet Lord How nail on head is he here? “Contemptible beyond measure“ “cynical “ “ beneath ugly “ and lots of other devastating one liners, while his co presenter sighs loudly with head in hands. Bullseye my friend.

So... he wasn't a fan?

It's just cashing in on a dumb online trend. no thanks. I'll stick to my countless superhero movies and spin offs, or maybe another animated animal. Least they're dishonestly bad or repetitive. emojis are dumb and anyone who's anyone agrees.

Young kids are giving this an A- also. Kids are like fish unaware of the water they are swimming through and are easily influenced. This film shouldn't be allowed frankly. You wouldn't allow the advertising of phone apps on kid's TV (at least you wouldn't in the UK) but it's okay to advertise phone apps in a kid's film? If I had kids they wouldn't be allowed to even watch this garbage at a friend's house.

I thought Boss Baby was absolutely delightful. Don't get the dislike for it
