Aubrey Plaza funny as Grumpy Cat
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.

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..
Enjoyable Awful Film
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.

Much funnier than it should be!
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! 😆🎄🤶
Surprisingly amusing
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.
