Teenager Jerrica (Aubrey Peeples) is an extremely shy but talented singer-songwriter whose dreams of stardom come true when she forms the group Jem and the Holograms. Other members include her younger sister Kimber (Stefanie Scott) on keyboards, drummer Shana (Aurora Perrineau) and bassist Aja (Hayley Kiyoko). With help from Rio (Ryan Guzman), the son of the CEO (Juliette Lewis) of Starlight Music, the four young band members find their own voice while taking the world by storm.

Critics Consensus

Jem and the Holograms ignores its source material's goofy charm in favor of bland by-the-numbers drama.

3/5

A highly flawed, occasionally dumb, but fascinating blast of neon, revisionist girl power, and social media wanderlust.

2/5

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.

Jem is honest enough in its aims that the sacrilegious divergence from the original material can almost be forgiven.

This may not be the film adaptation of the cartoon that the fans wanted...but even so, it is still very true to the heart of what made Jem so special.

Upbeat, polished, bland, and overproduced: An apt surrogate for modern pop.

I loved this movie! I thought the story was great, music was great, acting was fun. I loved the emotion, singing, hair, costumes, relationships among the sisters, and the story with the Dad and robot. This was a feel good movie with heart, and the good guy and gals won. I had never seen the animated stuff. My first exposure to Jem and the Holograms was this movie. I loved it!!!!!

This movie is loose and just like it doesn't stick to the original (like the fans actually wanted) it also doesn't stick as a good movie and here's the thing, who in their right mind doesn't love Molly Ringwald, but I don't know if she was in her right mind when she accepted this role

Terrible movie! I wasted time and money on this flop. I did not enjoy any of it. A terrible plot that was miles away form the Source Material, bland acting, sub-par story overall, bored out of my mind

This is a trash movie and a horrendous addaptation.

I have never seen the show but even i can see what a cash grabbing sellout this movie truly is. The only good thing about this movie are the songs, and even they are not enough to say this movie is decent. If you are a fan of the show, AVOID THIS MOVIE.
