Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever

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.

... 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.

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! 😆🎄🤶

-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.

So this movie has somehow become a Christmas tradition in our house. Yes, the acting is weak, the plot is dumb, and the whole idea of a movie based on a meme is just ridiculous. But its actually not too bad.

Aubrey Plaza does a solid job of voicing Grumpy, and her cracks about Lifetime movies and constantly pointing out the inconsistencies and problems with the movie itself are great.

The subtle music jokes that will go over most people's heads are great. I mean, how can you not like a movie that references Cliff Burton from Metallica? or has an argument about the best singer in Van Halen, and it's between Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone?! I mean, that gag is just brilliant.

All in all, it's not a fantastic flick, but it will amuse most people.
