Joyeux Noël Grumpy Cat !

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.

I started watching it with extremely low expectations, just because I think Tardar Sauce is a cute cat and I enjoy the Grumpy Cat memes.

But I actually enjoyed it. Sure, it's corny, but it doesn't take itself seriously and isn't afraid to laugh at itself.

Case in point - one of the scene transitions is from the old batman show, with Grumpy's picture instead of Batman's in front of a whirling background. The transitions to commercials are half the reason to watch the movie.

The rest of it is a silly feel-good movie that manages not to cross the line into stupid. Just a fun laugh with an adorable furry star. The kid is good, too.

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.

It's clearly a stupid laugh that shouldn't be taken seriously, but it made my kids and I laugh actually-out-loud more times than expected. Audrey Plaza is the highlight of this film she's having total fun with the script and it shows. Watch with your kids and laugh! 😆🎄🤶

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.
