It would be fitting if there were no words to describe The Emoji Movie; if the ephemeral experience of consuming this unique entertainment could only be summarized in a small picture dashed off in a text message. But, no, there are plenty of words that can describe The Emoji Movie. Here are a few of them: Boring. Unfunny. Mercenary. Saccharine. Arduous. And, of course, crappy. If you prefer the poop emoji that works too.
Will The Emoji Movie be horrible? We just don’t know. The premise of “Toy Story, but with the little pictorial icons that live inside your smartphone” sure sounds like something that an executive with an analytics page for a heart would come up with, but it’s the critic’s responsibility to reserve judgement until the film can be seen in full. At least today brings us a bite-sized sample of The Emoji Movie with a new trailer that contains both a painfully out-of-fashion “Bye, Felicia” reference and a sincerely humorous joke about forgotten phone passwords. So it’s really anyone’s guess, at this point.
I'm loving late night television options right now. One show that I rotate to is The Late Late Show with James Corden. I like the open chat format and the fun bits he does like this recent one with Matt Damon.
If you have yet to watch The Late Late Show with James Corden, you're missing the best kept secret in late night television. I loved Craig Ferguson too, but his show had a different, cynical vibe so it's hard to compare the two.
Everyone loves Tom Hanks, and he is such a nice guy. He helped kick of new Late Late Show Host James Corden's late show career with some hilarious improv.
