Storyline

This movie unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone's user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression, except for Gene, an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become "normal" like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak. Together, they embark on an epic "app-venture" through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it's deleted forever.

Crazy Credits

Someone takes a picture of the Columbia Pictures logo on their cellphone and attaches an emoji to the Torch Lady's head.

Alternate Versions

For its UK release, Sony had to remove some mild language in order to receive an U rating instead of a PG - this included a visual use of "WTF" (considered 'disguised strong language' and worthy of a 12A) and a verbal use of "turd".

At Least I Got What I Expected

I wasn't suprised when I saw this Movie. I could tell it from the trailers and reviews. Movie was gonna be filled with jokes that 100% aren't funny, characters that are gonna be so bad and a story which is so cringy. Again this movie tried to be 'Ralph Breaks The Internet' but yeah it failed.*I can't say Ralph Breaks The Internet Was Good Though...'. Story is literally a copycat of Wreck-It Ralph And LEGO Movie. But actually in the end I couldn't find a positive thing, so this is the most I can give. (1.0/10)
