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.

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.

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.
