Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever

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.

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! 😆🎄🤶

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 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.

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.
