Joyeux Noël Grumpy Cat !

I stumbled upon the 2014 movie "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever" and were surprised that they even made a movie with this cat. My son wanted to watch the movie, so I ended up sitting down with my son to watch this 2014 movie.

Oddly enough, I will say that the movie was actually entertaining enough. Sure, this was by no means an award-winning movie in any way, but the movie was just strangle entertaining in a way; mostly because of the cat, of course. I must say, at the same time though, that the storyline was fairly simplistic, so you shouldn't be expecting a grand cinematic masterpiece from "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever".

It was a shame that they had opted for Aubrey Plaza to voice the Grumpy Cat, because her performance was just bland and monotonous. It just felt like the cat had zero energy and spunk. If Aubrey Plaza had gone for a more varied voice performance, the movie would have been all the more enjoyable.

"Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever" is a movie that is aimed for the younger audience, no doubt about it. And yeah, you can sit down as a family and enjoy this movie.

But if you look at the movie objectively and get past the movie being made for the sole purpose of the Grumpy Cat, then this movie was bland. I am rating it a mediocre five out of ten stars.

-Grumpy Cat has his own (Lifetime) movie and pairs up with a little girl to save a store in the mall from being robbed and, along the way, learn values of having friends.

-I'll be honest, for a Lifetime movie I actually didn't hate it. Yup.

-I really could not care for the story they borrowed from Mall Cop. It's just silly.

-The pace is not bad, but it does have some problems staying on track with some really irrelevant scene.

-I'll go ahead and point out the best thing about it: Throughout the entire film, Grumpy Cat, still in character, talks about how horrible the film is. This includes cheesy product placements, meme references, other film references, breaking the fourth wall a lot, and slamming Lifetime movies hard. Well played Grumpy Cat. Well played….

-The acting is on-par with a Lifetime movie. Cheesy and over-the-top. The voice of Grumpy cat is annoying, but pretty fitting actually.

-The music is like the worst Christmas music ever. Grumpy Cat pointed it out.

-The moral lesson in it also doesn't really add up. But Grumpy Cat pointed that out to.

-It is rated-G and has some jokes that should really make it PG.

-So as a film it's not that good, but it points out all of its own flaws in a funny way. Still not great though. I would probably give it a very high 6.5, and if you are interested it's not a bad watch on Netflix/Redbox. But if you are like 'meh' like most people will be, Grumpy Cat's Worth Christmas Ever is not really worth watching.

Tardar Sauce better known as Grumpy Cat in her very own Worst Christmas (Movie) Ever! That's right the film pride's itself on being awful - it is bad yet it's a fun movie! I will say I enjoyed this.

The one thing I didn't care for was Grumpy's voice. I'm sure Aubrey Plaza is fine in other films but I didn't care for her Grumpy Cat voice - not nearly grumpy enough. Otherwise this a really good bad film - if you are into that sorta thing.

R. I. P Tadar Sauce/Grumpy Cat

8/10.

Grumpy Cat (voice Aubrey Plaza) is hopelessly unsellable in the shopping mall pet store. She's very grumpy. The pet store is close to being closed but then they get a million $ dog. Mall Santa gives little girl Chyrstal a wish and she asks for a friend. She helps out at the pet store and discovers that she can hear Grumpy. A couple of idiots try to dognap after the mall closes. Chyrstal goes back to the pet store after hours. Grumpy reluctantly helps Chyrstal thwart the dognapping.

Aubrey Plaza is the perfect sarcastic voice for Grumpy Cat. The movie works whenever she's doing Grumpy Cat. She gets to break down the fourth wall. She's great. The problem is the lame story surrounding Grumpy and the bad acting. The characters range from bland to annoying. Zack and Donny are really important comic characters like the Wet Bandits in Home Alone. But the actors are pretty bad. It's a Grumpy Cat movie that needs more Grumpy Cat, anything to keep the movie away from all the bad acting.

If you have seen Paul Blart: Mall Cop, you have seen this film. If you haven't seen Paul Blart: Mall Cop, either watch that instead or avoid this film for all the same reasons you're avoiding Paul Blart: Mall Cop. This film is exactly what you'd get if The Asylum made a mockbuster of Paul Blart: Mall Cop called Paw Blard: Mall Cat, then someone else made an amateur review of it on YouTube by occasionally cutting away from the film to video of their cat with them making sarcastic comments about the film.
