You know the type. It's so terrible it's amazing? Yeah, this is on my list. They have some very talented voice actors, so I'll give them that, but that's all this project was to them: an acting job.

But I don't know what else to put for this review. I'm just filling the space to make the 600-character mark. I originally watched this film because I enjoy Liam Aiken's work (as well as the other more prominent names), and the film about emojis...was as good as could be expected from a movie where emojis have emotions.

Have I reached 600 yet?

It's not amazing writing or amazing acting, but it is...an emoji movie.

Factually, definitely Wikipedia-based, which means most likely not completely accurate. Nobody said it was a documentary; it's fictional, which means they were more concerned about an interesting story than depicting her life. The major points in her life were true, like the spousal abuse, single motherhood, conjuring up Harry Potter on a train...

That being said, in terms of entertainment, acting is meh, the script is a joke at times ("liver and tripe"? Really?), but as a writer, it does motivate me to go to my local Starbucks and work on my screenplay. What can I say? It was never a nominee for an Academy Award, but it inspires me.

The comedy aspect makes sense considering the duo casted as our Mulder/Scully characters are from hit comedy shows, and I enjoyed the funny bits. Being a fan of "The X-Files" when it aired and being OBSESSED with "Supernatural", the storylines were expected, but it was too predictable for me. I want to say it's X-Files for dummies, but in a nice way...but once in a while, the acting is just not believable, which is surprising for me because I know the cast is full of talent.

I'm not motivated to watch the second episode. I'm still open to it, but only if I'm not in the mood to think. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since I watch "Family Guy" when I want to wind down with a comedy where I don't have to think, and "Family Guy" is the type of show where you're just there for the laughs and not the brains.

It's definitely more "Supernatural" than "X-Files" in my opinion, and I think the writers intended on this being like "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"; you didn't expect the police department to be a hilarious workspace, but in that show, it is. With the success of B99, I can tell the writers for "Ghosted" were striving for that level of comedy, but as a hardcore "X-Files" and "Supernatural" fan (although that's basically the same show since SPN was based to some extent on X-Files), this is a no for me, but with some flexibility.
