Dreadfully Boring
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Instead of being a jokey movie about dumb internet memes that are taken too seriously or just become too ubiquitous to the point that they're a cliché, the screenplay of this movie is, I believe, a wry commentary on the "Save the Cat!" screenplay formula and its utter overuse in the standard Hollywood product of the day. Grumpy Cat, breaking the fourth wall, is actually the disgruntled screenwriter forced to write the script with basically no premise at all except a generic Christmas movie with a limited budget starring a cat with exactly one expression who does nothing. Watch it with that in mind and you'll enjoy it a lot more.
View MoreI 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.
View MoreI 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.
View MoreGrumpy 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.
