This movie is tough to review. It's a low-budget TV movie based on a cat from internet memes, so you can't expect it to be good. However, compared to many other comedies, I wouldn't say it's bad, either. 6 stars seems low but 7 stars seems too high, so I leaned towards 6 stars.In this movie you can expect to find a story about a young, introverted girl who wishes for a friend and ends up meeting Grumpy Cat and can understand her speech. Together they try to save the pet shop Grumpy Cat comes from. Grumpy Cat has a feminine though bored and glum voice, and her pessimistic and sarcastic remarks appear throughout the movie. Her bitter attitude is surprisingly amusing and she even makes remarks about the movie's low budget, so at least the movie producers point out their own flaws. I see a lot of people complaining that Grumpy Cat had a girl's voice but this is because Grumpy Cat in real life is a girl.The movie was of cringe-worthy acting and editing but somehow it was also very amusing and the cat is super cute. It's not something you should take too seriously; the film itself practically wants you to laugh at how bad it is. There are even references to other cat memes. The movie is to make you laugh and nothing more; it doesn't try to impress you and that is okay. There is, however, a nice message or two in the movie. I expect cat lovers will enjoy watching this just to see how adorable Grumpy Cat is on film.There are a few adult jokes in the movie but I think it's okay for kids for the most part, especially because of the talking animals. I think the main girl would be relatable to many tweens.So in all, don't expect much if you plan on watching the movie but if you watch it with a light attitude you may get many smiles and laughs out of it.
... 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.
