The world is a little less grumpy ... because a cat with a real sourpuss attitude has sadly bit the dust. Grumpy Cat -- government name Tardar Sauce -- died Tuesday. She passed "in the arms of her mommy, Tabatha," the woman who's owned the critter since birth. As for the cause of death, according to the feline's official Twitter page, "Grumpy encountered complications from a recent urinary tract infection that unfortunately became too tough for her to overcome.

Our hunt for overlooked Christmas films? Well, we thought it was a Home Alone film we didn't know about. Turned out it wasn't...
I was wary the moment I opened the package from Den of Geek and saw the words Home And Alone For Christmas staring back at me. I’m a big fan of the original Home Alone films, the ones starring Macaulay Culkin, but it’s a franchise that took a heck of a nosedive after he left, with a series of increasingly obnoxious-looking child actors being asked to recreate Culkin’s head-in-hands pose for the DVD box. So if Home Alone 5: The Holiday Heist was bad, how bad was the film piggybacking on the franchise’s success going to be?
Despite promising some festive magic with its doesn’t-quite-work tagline ‘When all elf breaks loose’, Home And Alone For Christmas (original title 3 Day Test,...

Is The Asylum’s Santa’s Little Yelpers a hidden Poundland Christmas gem? Er, read on to find out…
Santa’s Little Yelpers (originally: Golden Winter, a name presumably changed to avoid sounding like something a sexual deviant would pick from the menu of a shady massage parlour) is a Christmas kids’ film made by The Asylum.
The Asylum, as a rule, does not make good films. Appreciating that, among the knock-off ‘mockbusters’ and Netflix-plumping mega-monster flicks, might there sit a shiny gem of a Christmas picture? A movie, yes, written in under ten days for less cash than the average parent spent on Minions Kinder Eggs this summer, but a real bobby-dazzler nonetheless?
No.
To begin with, Santa’s not even in it. That means the titular little yelpers—Rory (likes jumping out of boxes), Snoozer (narcoleptic), Tinkle (incontinent), Jumper (no discernible character traits) and Scarf...

We continue our hunt for an overlooked Christmas classic in the DVD bargain bin. Our latest treat? Grumpy Cat...
Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever is a hard film to write about.
Without wishing to exaggerate its effect, it almost makes you feel like you need to unlearn everything you thought you knew about cinema in order to give it a reasonable assessment. I suppose I should start by saying it’s not a 'good film', but then value judgements feel futile in the (adorable and super-smooshy) face of Grumpy Cat. Besides, whatever insult you could level at this film’s content is redundant. Odds are it’s already been covered by the mega-meta self-loathing that oozes from every scene.
What makes it so compelling, though, is the simple fact that it exists. That you can buy it on DVD. That you didn’t just pass out...

Magic in the Moonlight I found Magic in the Moonlight to be middle-of-the-road Woody Allen. I liked the performances from Emma Stone and Colin Firth and a lot of what Allen was exploring, but the end just left me cold. It felt like a cop out as if one Woody Allen made the first two-thirds of the film and a completely different person wrote the final third. You can read my full review right here.

Grumpy Cat would hate her movie. Like, hate-hate it. Lifetime's weirdly meta film, Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever—which comes complete with Aubrey Plaza appearing onscreen to announce she's voicing the beloved Internet meme—is, essentially, the story of one young girl's attempt at making friends and saving a mall. Yep; it sounds about as interesting as it is to watch.

Late in Lifetime's "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever" TV-movie, the cat that launched a thousand memes objects to a plot twist by asking, "Is this not my movie?" The film (it debuts Saturday night at 8), written by "SpongeBob" vet and "Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties" director Tim Hill (who also directed this) and Jeff Morris, seems at war with itself as to how much it should — or can — be Grumpy Cat's movie, and the answer is "not enough," unfortunately. But at least the movie is aware of that problem, since it opens with Grumpy Cat (aka Tardar Sauce) — played in voiceover by Aubrey Plaza, in a piece of casting that feels like destiny — getting excited at the thought of how disappointed we'll be "when you realize this movie is just a sappy melodrama about me, Grumpy Cat." Except it's only vaguely about Grumpy Cat, and primarily about Chrystal...

Everyone's favorite frowning feline, Grumpy Cat, is hitting the small screen in her movie debut this holiday season. Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever, which stars Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza as the voice of the famous cat, will premiere on the Lifetime network just in time for the holidays.

While the real-life Grumpy Cat is used in most of the scenes of the movie, Lifetime reached out to Jim Henson's Creature Shop to create a few different puppet versions of the internet star to be used as stunt doubles and in some wider shots.

Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever movie actually exists and it will air on Lifetime. I'm sure some of you will even watch it because we're bound to have to some Grumpy Cat fans as readers. I personally don't get society's strange fascination with this whole Grumpy Cat thing, but that's the kind of society we live in today, folks. Here's the first trailer for the movie that features the voice of Aubrey Plaza as Grumpy Cat. The movie looks stupid as hell, and even the voice of Plaza can't save it. I posted the trailer, though, just in case some of you are curious.
Grumpy Cat "plays" a lonely feline who develops a sour outlook on life after living in a mall pet shop. Then, over the holidays, a 12-year-old girl named Chrystal (played by Megan Charpentier) enters the pet store and realizes she is the only one who can hear the cat talk.

A tiny kitty with feline dwarfism named Tardar Sauce became an Internet sensation thanks to her permanently pissed-off mug. Dubbed "Grumpy Cat,” a photo of the grouchy darling was submitted on Reddit and the rest is Internet celebrity history. Except Grumpy Cat’s stardom has lasted much longer than the usual 15 minutes of fame... and now we can all gawk at the surly pussycat when her new movie premieres on Lifetime. Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever will feature Aubrey Plaza as the voice of Grumpy Cat, which is either the best or worst thing you’ll hear this week. Vulture advises that the movie centers on a 12-year-old girl named Chrystal (Megan Charpentier) who can communicate telepathically with Grumpy Cat — and now this is getting really weird...

In June, Lifetime announced its plan to turn Grumpy Cat--the cantankerous feline made famous by a popular image macro--into a movie star. Grumpy Cat (whose actual name is Tardar Sauce) has starred in her own videos before, but her feature film debut will take her acting career to the next level. The trailer for the film is now out, and it has been mostly panned by the YouTube audience. The film is called Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever, and yes, it's a holiday movie. It stars Tardar Sauce as a disgruntled mall cat who goes on an adventure after serving as the subject of a young girl's Yuletide wish. Aubrey Plaza voices the titular cat, who seems to be powered by CG throughout the majority of the trailer (unless I missed the part where cats know how to fire paintball guns). If this sounds to you like Lifetime scraping...

It's dubious enough that Grumpy Cat, a 2013 Tumblr phenomenon, gets its own TV movie. But in the trailer for "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever," which premieres November 29, you learn there's more to be depressed about than a cat who can basically be described as Real-Life Garfield. "Fail," said the cat who is famous for having Orson Welles eyes. Movies with talking animals are sometimes fine. "Homeward Bound" is -- wait for it! -- good. But what makes this movie more depressing than it should be is that awful voice-acting performance by Aubrey Plaza with its contrived languor and dryness. You can hear her regretting every syllable of her performance. Nothing is grimmer than realizing the star of a movie is actively wishing she were cooler than the movie. I am disappoint.

"It's a Wonderful Life." "Christmas in Connecticut." That Muppets special where John Denver sings a bunch of songs with the Muppets and it makes you feel oddly gooey inside.

Just watch the trailer below for confirmation.
In the movie, which is of course based on the Grumpy Cat meme that became a kind of merchandising bonanza (which was probably to be expected given how much Grumpy Cat resembles Garfield), concerns a young girl (Megan Charpentier) who is given the Christmas miracle of being able to communicate (via mind powers or some such) with Grumpy Cat (voiced by Aubrey Plaza).

The grumpiest cat is just as grumpy as we'd hope in this first trailer.
Grumpy Cat, the famous feline, is still not smiling as a movie star.
When it comes to her new movie, she's saying on Facebook with nearly seven million fans, "I had a movie trailer once. It was awful."
Voiced by Aubrey Plaza, the cat stars in Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever, a Lifetime original about a 12-year-old girl who has her holiday wish come true. She gets a "holiday friend" that she can "depend" on, but as Grumpy Cat says to her, "you really screwed up your big wish."

The world does not need a movie about Grumpy Cat, but it's happening, and it's ridiculous. This is one of those movies that makes me shake my head in shame at Hollywood. That being said, this is a Lifetime movie, and they are sure to make a lot of money from it because, for some reason, people love Grumpy Cat and have a fascination with the feline. I just don't get it.
Mashable reports that Aubrey Plaza will voice the cat in the film, which is called Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever.

Grumpy Cat speaks! Or, more accurately, Aubrey Plaza is going to be speaking as Grumpy Cat in an upcoming Lifetime original movie. Titled "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever," the new film will feature the cat in question (real name Tardar Sauce) as "a lonely feline living in a mall pet shop." As for the grumpiness, the synopsis explains that, "Because she never gets chosen by customers, she develops a sour outlook on life." It is true that most cats can't talk, and in the film only one person will be able to hear Grumpy Cat speak. That is a 12-year-old girl, Chrystal, who meets Grumpy Cat at the mall and develops a relationship with her. The movie is directed by Tim Hill who has plenty of experience with talking animals having directed "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and "Garfield 2." He also co-wrote the screenplay for this original alongside Jeff Morris, who...
