''Jem and the Holograms'' is a 2015 film [[InNameOnly very, very,]] ''[[InNameOnly very]]'' loosely based on [[WesternAnimation/JemAndTheHolograms the '80s cartoon of the same name]]. It was made with a budget of $5 million. The film centers on Jerrica Benton, who gets popular when her sister Kimber uploads a video of her singing to Website/YouTube. This leads to Jerrica and her sisters getting a recording contract. Also, there's a little robot named Synergy, whose parts are scattered all over the place.

* JustEatGilligan: In order to fix Synergy, Jem and her friend need to get Jem's earrings back from Erica Raymond's safe. So they sneak into the building and break into the safe, despite the fact that, in addition to a number of reasons to why they wouldn't need to sneak into the building, there's no reason why they couldn't just ask Erica to give them back the earrings as she has no reason to want to keep them. This only happens so that [[spoiler:they can find Rio's father's will that explains that he's the real owner of Starlight Records.]]

* OffTheShelfFX: Google Earth is used in {{Travel Montage}}s.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: In the home movies from the '90s, Jerrica and Kimber are shown playing with My Little Pony toys… from the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic 2010 incarnation of the series]].

** Jerrica is blonde in the cartoon but is brunette here. In a different case Jem performs entirely with pink hair - but here she performs with blonde, white and pink at different times.

* CreatorCameo: [[spoiler: Christy Marx, creator of the original cartoon, cameos near the end as Lind-Z.]]

** In TheStinger, [[spoiler: The Misfits appear and Pizzazz says "Our songs are better, we're gonna get her."]] This references a line from the classic Jem theme song.

* SequelHook: [[spoiler: Erica approaches The Misfits and convinces them to take Jem down]].

* TheUnfavorite: Kimberly wasn't as cherished by her father as Jerrica was, at least going by Jerrica being the only oen their father's recording specifically mentions.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: The movie's Synergy, a RobotBuddy, is a far cry from the show's, who was an ArtificialIntelligence who served as TheObiWan and was capable of generating incredibly advanced holograms.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Jerrica is blonde in the cartoon but is brunette here. In a different case Jem performs entirely with pink hair - but here she performs with blonde, white and pink at different times. Rio has purple hair in the cartoon but is brunet in the film.

* ManipulativeEditing: The film features a number of [=YouTube=] videos of people talking how much they love Jem. These are from a contest the film held asking fans to make videos about why they love the series, meaning they were talking about ''any other incarnation of the series'' but this one.

** Likewise, the clip of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson praising the band's song "Young Blood" is actually taken from a {{Vine}} of him talking about Music/TaylorSwift's "'''Bad''' Blood". See also QuoteMine below.

** When the girls move into Starlight Mansion, Rio tells Jerrica to call him if "the place is on fire." The original Staright House did catch on fire in the cartoon, necessitating the move to Starlight Mansion.

* InstantWebHit: Jerrica became one of the world's biggest celebrities thanks to a video of her playing acoustic guitar in her bedroom. Strangely enough, said video only had 36,000 views, which is considered small potatoes on YouTube.

* ReedRichardsIsUseless: So Jerrica's father invented a robot that is both sentient and able to project holograms of videos and maps. If he (or Jerrica) had patented the robot or sold it to an electronics company to be mass-produced, their financial worries would be over. Possibly [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in Jerrica's case since it's an item that's very personal to her.
