The Emoji Movie is a movie about emojis and it's a real movie and it's out in theaters right now and it's also, allegedly, very bad. Like, very, very bad. So bad that for a few brief but spectacular and shining and earth-shattering moments, it achieved the nearly unachievable.
The film received a zero percent rating on the popular film review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, joining a small but prestigious club. At the time of this writing, the film has managed to precariously climb from the shallow depths of zero percent to a solid six with the help of two reviewers bravely willing to go against the grain.
