zor9000 Where to begin, this movie is the worst thing I have ever seen. First, this movie does not have an original bone in its body. The movie break the 4th wall more than Ferris Bueller's day off and Deadpool combined. Their 4th wall breaks and reference humor is never funny, it just drains your life essence with each crappy reference. Two of the villains in the "film" are just terrible recreations of Marv and Harry from Home alone. The plot is just a D list Paul Blart story with predictable twist. The acting and the cinematography are the same as any other lifetime movie, bland and boring. I hoped going in to the movie I could at least laugh at the movie for being so bad, but I could not even do that. I had one laugh throughout the whole experience, one fat joke at beginning of the movie, an admittedly low hanging fruit. I should have listen to the Grumpy Cat when it told me multiple times during the "film" to stop watching this garbage movie, something she stressed after each commercial break.

TheBlueHairedLawyer It's only in the age of technology that society would praise a full-length movie based on an internet icon cat. People today are WAY too easily amused and really need to learn to pick up a book or go for a drive and experience the world in ways away from glowing screens.One thing that sets this movie apart from others in its genre though, is that the makers knew it was a terrible movie and it makes fun of itself. So if you're forced to watch it, at least you can get a kick out of it. It wasn't really the cat itself that made the movie so bad, it was more the actors chosen. They didn't really fit the characters they were playing, and they were all such generic cardboard cutouts that at first I thought it was intended. The soundtrack was terrible. The plot was just a rip-off of movies like Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009).It's an okay movie for really little kids though, they can laugh at the hideous cat and enjoy a Christmas adventure over the holidays. But if you're an adult, don't go into this expecting much. Just like that television program they made of that The Annoying Orange internet media sensation cr*p, this is just another sign that society as we know it is degrading to the point where even a movie about a cat that looks angry is considered funny and original.

reneeroseholland I only decided to watch this because there wasn't any other movie that grabbed me that night, so I went ahead and viewed this one.Glad I did. The movie itself reminded me in many ways of the original Home Alone movie. You have the good guys, the bumbling bad guys and all that goes with it.What made it pretty darn good was the comedy that grumpy cat tossed in there that you weren't expecting. The writers did a great job of showing us the cats annoyed disposition and general annoyed attitude with a lot of surprising extras.I can't say any more that that without spoilers so yes. I recommend this. It's really cute and very, very cleaver.

Robert W. As many reviewers point out, this film obliterates the fourth wall. Its a schtick to try and make the script cheeky and maybe edgy and it ends up being bizarre, cheesy, campy, awful...and suddenly the credits rolled and I thought...oh no, that was so bad...that it was good. Honestly, the script is dreadful...like atrocious and the acting is possibly even worse (for the most part) but then you have the fact that the dialogue is so painful that it ends up being funny, that Grumpy Cat is so completely misused that it ends up making you laugh, the film is satirical, offensive, dumb and I can't say worse things about it because I watched it and after I got over the initial "how bad it was", I found myself enjoying the style. Of course "Grumpy Cat" keeps making constant references to how bad the film is and you can't argue with her so you have to sit back and enjoy how bad it is. The film is rated G which I'm not fond of. It was far too dark to be "for everyone" or even for families. Sure it wasn't in your face inappropriate but when Grumpy Cat is having a nightmare about being thrown into the street and eventually gassed to death...that's a bit dark for youngsters. She also makes mention of being put to sleep a few times. There is a small moral message here about friendship and saving Christmas but it gets buried in sarcasm and satire.Grumpy Cat is essentially an even more negative version of Garfield. Garfield's voice was legendary and Bill Murray actually nailed it in the film versions. I am not a big Aubrey Plaza fan, I think she's over-hyped for her deadpan, boring humour but I actually thought she might do a decent job with voicing Grumpy Cat (who is apparently played by THEE Grumpy Cat "Tardar Sauce") Plaza is okay at best. I feel like she just doesn't nail the voice over thing and the one-liners don't work. I think a voice actor with more experience could have made Grumpy Cat hilarious! Plaza missed an opportunity here but it is a Lifetime movie and the rest of it is terrible so Plaza fits in okay. Now that she's done it once, if they do another one (God help me I'd watch it too) I'd want Plaza to do it again. A lot of IMDb reviewers really trash the performance of Megan Charpentier as the young heroine but I actually think she did really well. I mean you can only be so good in a film this bad but she plays her role well and she's charismatic and I think kids will enjoy her. Legendary character actor Daniel Roebuck, Evan Todd and Isaac Haig are our buffoonish villains (think Pesci and Stern in Home Alone only not funny at all or talented in any way.) They are really, really awful but I don't blame the actors as much as the part written for them. Not to be outdone, one of the "good guys" played by David Lewis is incredibly badly written too.I swear that as bad as this is, many of you will finish this thinking...holy crap that was entertaining. I laughed when I didn't want to, I shook my head more times than I can count and I winced at the terrible dialogue and I enjoyed it so I guess I'm crazy. I think I would even watch it again it was so bad-good. Tim Hill directs and co-writes and Hill comes from Spongebob Squarepants which I never understood the popularity of so maybe he has a style of making things so terrible that people love it. The idea behind Grumpy Cat and having a Christmas movie is actually full of potential and it might have made more sense animated but it is what it is and I want to tell you how much I hated it but I loved every awful minute of it. Its the worst Christmas movie I've seen this year and its just the way Grumpy Cat would have it so go watch it...or don't...I don't care and neither does she. 6/10
