Storyline

Grumpy Cat is a lonely cat living in a mall pet shop. Because she never gets chosen by customers, she develops a sour outlook on life...until one day during the holidays, a very special 12-year-old girl named Chyrstal enters the pet store and falls in love with her after realizing she is the only person who can hear this unique cat talk. As the two develop a close friendship during the holiday rush, Grumpy reluctantly thwarts the kidnapping of an exotic dog she dislikes, and on Christmas Eve rescues Chyrstal after the mall closes. Through her adventures, will Grumpy learn the true meaning of Christmas? Or will it be, in her words, the "Worst. Christmas. Ever?"

User Reviews

Surprisingly amusing

I started watching it with extremely low expectations, just because I think Tardar Sauce is a cute cat and I enjoy the Grumpy Cat memes.

But I actually enjoyed it. Sure, it's corny, but it doesn't take itself seriously and isn't afraid to laugh at itself.

Case in point - one of the scene transitions is from the old batman show, with Grumpy's picture instead of Batman's in front of a whirling background. The transitions to commercials are half the reason to watch the movie.

The rest of it is a silly feel-good movie that manages not to cross the line into stupid. Just a fun laugh with an adorable furry star. The kid is good, too.
