Every line, every twist and every note of music feels painstakingly focus-grouped.

For a movie about someone learning to come out of their shell, Jem and the Holograms is utterly confounding about what it even means to be authentic.
Alison Willmore, BuzzFeed News
Rotten
As silly and sometimes nonsensical as it is, the movie is surprisingly sweet and well-intentioned.

What it lacks in humor it makes up for in sheer weirdness -- it's a master class in How Did This Get Made? It feels focus-grouped to within an inch of its life, but it's so strange that it's impossible to imagine what process led us here.
Molly Lambert, Grantland

Not being part of the generation that watched the show, I can't vouch for its merits. But it's safe to say that it must be miles ahead of this wan, bloated screen version which forgoes the original's sci-fi and thriller aspects.
