Grumpy Cat's Worst Christams Ever (2014)

Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever holds the distinction of being the first movie based on an internet meme. This Lifetime  Network  production is a kind of break-the-forth-wall meta comedy that finds internet star Grumpy Cat unwittingly trapped in a syrupy TV holiday movie plot, and you know it works. Aubrey Plaza proves great casting a the voice of  Grumpy Cat as she gives a running, lightly sarcastic commentary on the events of her own movie. The tried and true 'must save the pet shop or school or church or what have you from bankruptcy before Christmas' plot is appropriate here as well. I also enjoyed the rife on magic movie Santa Clause's with the obviously fake seeming mall Santa who turned out to be magic after all. The goofy crooks worked too. I hope Lifetime take advantage and puts another Grumpy Cat TV movie into production soon. **1/2
