The film is loosely based on the ‘80s cartoon of the same name - so loose that its mere existence seems to have upset some longtime fans (I found a YouTube video of two grown adults espousing the reasons they were “outraged” over the trailer, so I can only assume they speak for some people). There are certainly worse movies to come out of 2015 (believe me, there are so many), but few are as needless and unmemorable, and the dull thud it made at the box office is well-earned. As Hollywood continues to dredge the depths of ‘80s and ‘90s pop-culture nostalgia for a hit - any hit - we come to Jem and the Holograms.
