Review of Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever (2014) by Kj P — 05 Dec 2014

Never once did I imagine an interenet meme becoming a film, but then again, ideas are few to none these days, so here it is. I will admit, I felt obligated to view this film, but I am glad I did. Is "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas" ever the worst movie ever? No, but it is not very good either.

The film begins ver self-aware and continues on that notion throughout, but the film becomes a little repetitive and annoying. Having about a million fourth wall jokes get's a little old, even if you are trying to be aware.

There are films out there with the smarts to do it right, and althoug this makes a slight attempt, it still comes off as a ham-fisted sloppy comedy. I really loved Aubrey Plaza's voice, and here monotone voiceover acting is what made this so enjoyable.

With some very bland writing, a cliched plot, and characters that children may not even care about, "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever" tries really hard, and while it does have it's clever moments, it ultimately falls short.

Underwhelming, but not unexpected.
