Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever

source: Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever

Yes, I gave this full marks providing you are an 8 year old child watching the show. This is very, very light entertainment. The script is 1st draft without going to a rewrite-room. The entire execution of this production; writing, filming, casting seemed slapped together overnight, in a haste to get this film released before the fickle hype generated by social media falls flat on its back, ironically not on its feet. The voice of the dog, in my opinion, sounds very much like Morris The Cat from late TV commercials of the 70's, which I think they threw in as homage. There are many Morris The Cat lines from the commercial that I recognized. "That's it, Iam out of here..."

This is a low budget Lifetime film based on the internet meme of the Grumpy cat stretched out to full length film with product placements and the like, some wisecracks and a plot that rips off Paul Blart:Mall Cop. An introverted 12 year old girl, Chrystal can understand the sarcastic thoughts of Grumpy Cat, a cat in a pet store in a mall that is constantly returned by its new owners because of her sour looks. Grumpy and Chrystal thwart the kidnapping of a valuable dog from bumbling thieves but there is a mastermind who is now after them. There are a few Home Alone type shenanigans, some off beat humour which the kids will enjoy but you get the feeling it is a mediocre movie to promote Grumpy Cat merchandise who I felt was awfully voiced.

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.

I didn't actually expect to enjoy this movie, but it was quite good. The story line, while at times jumbled, never felt strained because of Grumpy Cat's ability to joke around and make us laugh through the rough parts. The acting was superb, with the voice of Grumpy Cat doing a fantastic job of portraying the supposedly annoyed, annoying, and sarcastic cat on the planet. This is a wonderful family Christmas movie for anyone who loves cats, cats driving things, cats using paint ball guns, or just family and friend comedies. What are you waiting for? Go watch Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever and be ready for the grumpiest and most annoying cat tell you a heartwarming story.

I think it's pretty hilarious. The fact that they do not hide the fact it's a sappy movie and makes light of all of its own flaws is priceless.im actually surprised lifetime made a decent movie,or something other than sappy love stories.i love grumpy cat.i can't take Christmas movies and the fact this one is cynical makes it watchable. Zack was also amazing.The pure fact he needs to be pumped full of aderoll,makes the movie worth watching just for him.the fact that this movie also has the subtle feel of " rescue a friend" (showing what happens,to animals,that are not adopted ) makes it a movie worth watching.

Let's start with: I love cats... especially Siamese cats. I have had nine Siamese cats (not including the ones at home during my childhood) over forty-three years. Grumpy cat has become an Internet phenomena. What a face! This delightful Christmas film is not just for 'kids', as one reviewer suggested. It'll appeal to all ages. The characters (animals) that require voice-overs, have some clever and very funny lines, especially the little lady herself, Grumpy Cat. The basic premise is that 'you can get what you wish for', and that life isn't as miserable as it appears at any given moment. The film also suggests that if you're 'rotten and mean' to your fellows, you just might not get nice things in your Christmas stocking on Christmas Morning. So...the lesson is: Be a pleasant person. Not just at Christmastime, but always. Enjoy this film ~ it'll lift your spirits ~ at a time, in this world of ours, that could do with a bit of spirit lifting. I rather liked it and think many others will too ~ especially cat-lovers! You won't be disappointed. I give it 8 out of 10. Wishing all readers a very Happy Christmastime. Spend wisely and remember, it's the thought that counts - not the price.

"Grumpy Cat" became a social media star well before this "Lifetime" movie aired. The cat has coloring and features which give it a perpetually grumpy look. Like celebrities who presently become famous for looking sexy (and bad behavior), Grumpy became famous for looking grumpy. Grumpy is more popular than "Toonces" (the cat who could drive a car), but probably won't overtake "Felix". By the time "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever" premiered, the frequently photographed cat had already run her course. Facebook hardly noticed the movie. Twitter flickered. Herein, we find Grumpy lives in a mall pet store. Great setting. The cat is much cuter in live action. She's one smart kitty, but never picked for adoption due to her grumpiness... You would pick golden blonde-haired Megan Charpentier (as Crystal) as easily the cutest and most popular 12-year-old in her class. As a bonus, she's smart and friendly. Yet, inexplicably, Miss Charpentier doesn't have any friends. Thanks to Russell Peters and the spirit of Christmas, she wishes for a friend and is given the ability to understand Grumpy's language. They become comrades and help solve a dog-napping mall crime. The wise-cracking cat isn't very helpful, leaving Charpentier to do most of the heavy lifting. "SpongeBob" writer Tim Hill works well with the cast, allowing Isaac Haig and Evan Todd to get the most out of their characters. The feline star is voiced by Aubrey Plaza, who has a playfulness that's memorable while the movie isn't.

I love Grumpy Cat so when I saw there was going to be a movie I was a bit sceptical. I thought they would make some sickly sweet Christmas movie. How wrong was I? Although the storyline was a bit silly its actually a very funny film that pokes fun at itself. The voice of Grumpy Cat is perfect and the bungling thieves were well cast. I'm not going to write about the plot because there isn't much to write about to be honest. I found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion and as I get called the human version of Grumpy Cat that's some mean task. I hate Christmas and all the Christmas films that are full of goodwill etc etc bah humbug. This is my type of Christmas film. All hail Grumpy Cat. She can act better than half of the stars out there right now. If you want a funny film that will entertain kids and adults alike then this won't disappoint. Its certainly my Christmas pick this year

My daughter loved it. She wants to watch it again on Christmas Eve. It's a very kid friendly movie with a sarcastic talking cat who helps a young girl foil a robbery and find a friend at the same time. Lots of visual jokes, lots of subtle sarcastic comments that a little kid might be making to themselves about their classmates. It will be very easy for your child to make a connection to the brainy but unpopular cat. Highly recommended if you have young children.. and love talking animal movies.
