7/10
Decent enough for a comedy
25 February 2016
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.
