Joyeux Noël Grumpy Cat ! (2014)
Grumpy Cat is a lonely cat living in a mall pet shop. Because she never gets chosen by customers, she develops a sour outlook on life…until one day during the holidays, a very special 12-year-old girl named Chyrstal enters the pet store and falls in love with her after realizing she is the only person who can hear this unique cat talk. As the two develop a close friendship during the holiday rush, Grumpy reluctantly thwarts the kidnapping of an exotic dog she dislikes, and on Christmas Eve rescues Chyrstal after the mall closes. Through her adventures, will Grumpy learn the true meaning of Christmas? Or will it be, in her words, the “Worst. Christmas. Ever?”

    Internet sensation Grumpy Cat, has written a movie!

    I would give it a 6.4 because it managed to hold my interest, make me laugh, and it even had a twist to keep things a little interesting.

    I began the movie with zero expectations, or possibly negative expectations, and I was quite surprised I was enjoying myself.

    The movie makes fun of itself as it goes, with Grumpy Cat constantly crossing the "Fourth Wall", talking about scenes, plot points,the movie budget, and advertising profits.

    I think the Fourth Wall jokes were my favorite, and they were plentiful. I was surprised to see that it was actually written by Lifetime, because they do a great job making it seem like Grumpy Cat wrote it (I was thinking perhaps her owners had pitched it). There's one joke near the end, that I would just love to share with you guys (but I won't), concerning Lifetime movies, that felt weird and out of place but also really funny.

    All and all it's a silly Christmas movie, narrated by Grumpy Cat, and it should be fun for the entire family. I don't know if I would suggest it for adults, but I'm not a kid and I laughed.

    Saying your film is terrible doesn't excuse it from being terrible

    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.

    Grumpy Cat Saves The Day

    When all hope seemed lost for both a lonely cat and a little girl. They suddenly find themselves finding each other. Grumpy Cat (voiced by Aubrey Plaza) a lonely, very cynical and just down right grumpy teams up with Chrystal (played by Megan Charpentier). Along with other animals at the local mall pet shop they all come together to catch three men Donny (played by Isaac Haig), Zack (played by Evan Todd) and George (played by Roebuck) from stealing a very valuable dog that will set the pet shop owner for life. All in a course of Christmas Eve night. This Lifetime channel and Grumpy Cat Limited movie took what was a very popular internet meme that pictured Grumpy Cat (aka Tardar Sauce) in different pictures pretending to say some funny but what would be taken as a cynical way of life. This, however, was made into a made for TV movie. This movie, while seriously lacking in story was filled with lots of one liners, funny little quips, breaking the fourth wall and making fun of Lifetime itself. The movie didn't take itself seriously. It knew it was a comedy and it showed. This movie was a fluff movie. It was made for entertaining at least children if not a whole family that doesn't mind stuff like this. The production value wasn't really there. It all took place at a mall and in several parts Grumpy Cat actually told you about how tight the budget was. It was funny. The acting was OK. You got a sense of what they were trying to accomplish (which by the way wasn't much). The writing at least when it came to the funny parts was actually funny. However, comedies that take a more of a deep feeling route don't always work and in this movie it bombed. You get what they were trying to say, but it didn't mesh as well as you would have hoped. When the script was being written, the writers should have not put deep feelings into this movie. At least not when you get to some sort of philosophy on life. Overall, the movie wasn't bad. It wasn't that great either. It was entertaining and not a bad way to spend a couple of hours. Especially if it is a couple of hours you need to kill. It is mindless popcorn TV movie entertainment. Don't take more out of it. It is what it is. If you have children they may want to watch it more than once. If you are an adult, you may not care too much to see it again. At least for me. Once was enough and I can appreciate attempt on the entertainment value. I give it 2 Grumpy Cats out of 5..

    Pointing out all of your own film's flaws? Not bad.

    -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.

    "The Secret" is we're all a little grumpy...

    ... and little "Tardar Sauce" AKA Grumpy Cat wears an expression that really symbolizes what most of us feel at least some of the time. Come on, wouldn't you just love to scowl at someone - in-laws, your boss, annoying coworker, etc. and tell them just once that they are "Just awful"? Now two hours of this minus commercials would get tedious, so a cute little contrived "sappy melodrama" - in the words of Grumpy Cat - is constructed complete with bumbling thieves and a cute kid from the Home Alone formula so that you don't get too much of a good thing. The gimmick - the little girl can hear Grumpy talk and becomes her only friend as they both battle the thieves in a mall after hours to retrieve a valuable dog whose sale will save Grumpy Cat's home, the mall pet store. The fact that this movie continuously makes fun of itself and Grumpy Cat's fame to boot is what keeps it from being corny and adds to the humor.

    I don't understand all of the haters of this film. It was hawked as what it is - a cute little family film with a big dose of Grumpy Cat that is suitable for kids and the holidays. Some of these folks hating on this film probably think Pacific Rim is brilliant - at least it might be better if it had not taken itself seriously, which is what this movie did.
