Review of Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever (2014) by Ted W — 14 May 2017

Alright look. It's obviously low-budget, low-quality, cringe-inducing... the list goes on. But HEAR ME OUT. This movie KNOWS. It totally gets that it's not fooling anyone, not you, not even *itself*.

But it's still going to give you its all anyway. It's not about the talent or skill of the actors, or tastefulness or presentation. What's REALLY going on here is that *they had fun making it*.

Nobody goes into a Lifetime Original Movie thinking it's going to be a worthwhile investment of their time, let alone their AUDIENCE'S time - that's right, I was talking about the *staff* of this flick there.

But dammit, they tried. Some may say "they should not have tried", but I say to you, this was inevitable. And of all the possible grumpy cat movies that could have flopped unceremoniously into your cable box, I promise you that this is the best outcome of them all.

If you don't like it, no one can fault you... but if you find that sweet spot, where you can get in on the joke, where you buckle down and realize that we're all in this crapsack world together, you will actually find yourself laughing WITH these folks instead of just turning it off.

I say give it until Grumpy Cat describes what a mall is, and if that doesn't make you think "... okay, maybe I want to hear a little more", go ahead and shut it off, no harm no foul. But if you can get just that far in, this might just be a worthwhile watch for you.
