The funny thing is, apparently the actress voicing Grumpy Cat mostly ad libbed after the rest of the movie was done. She didn't even have a script, so in effect she was making fun of the movie on her own terms.
Can you sight where you heard that? The blonde girl practically repeats Grumpys’ lines one point about the pet shop owners wife and I can’t find anything to support your claims.
@@geoffreysorkin5774 so wait did the Director just not get what made Grumpy cat endearing? Her snark and dry direct cynicism. She’s the EMBODIMENT of “suffering? GOOD!” If anything he should thank her for saving Grumpys image and not ruining her while she was still with us!
I have a theory for this film. Audrey Plaza must've read the script, realized the kind of crappy pile she got herself into, and decided to ad-lib a metric ton of riffing against the film. The director, however, did not get the sarcasm and, thinking that her ad-lib was hilarious, decided to keep it for the final product.
+TrvialMatter the adlib does make the movie tolerable and I think the people knew it was sort of not that good of a script so they just went with it.. I dunno it pretty much knows it's a cheap rip off and just accepts it lol.
+TrvialMatter That's almost exactly what happened according to interviews: IIRC, most of her lines are ad-libbed. Though the sarcasm and riffing was the point of the movie.
At least Grumpy Cat is still cute. When worst comes to worst, you could just mute the movie and look at the cute cat. You can't say the same about Tyler Perry.
I will give the movie this, it's nice to see a movie that openly admits "Yeah, fuck it, this is gonna suck. Let's go full-out meta as much as humanly possible." It actually ends up being one of the more harmless christmas movies Snob has ever watched.
+Juan Nunez (Faded Endless) It didn't seem to be a bad impression of Daria, I thoght it was a bad job at doing a general human impersonation. Certainly too energetic for Daria, or a grumpy cat.
+Brandon Croker A Very Brad Christmas Have yourself a Snobby Christmas. "All the good Christmas movie titles were taken so we just have up and are calling it A Cinema Snob Christmas' A Cinema Snob Christmas.
+Maemyers agreed this movie self awareness made it worst than the other ones because that means they're trying to say it's terrible to make the unfunny funny
To be honest, that seems like a very chill and friendly cat. I mean, my cat is pretty chill, but even he wouldn't put up with constantly being carried around everywhere.
Probably because she adored the attention she got. From what I could gather, Tartar sauce was a very VERY friendly cat. Just she didn’t realize her fur pattern and rich blue eyes would equal an internet worthy fame
this movie feels like a huge drawn out recreation of the scene from "Spaceballs," where master yogurt explains the purpose of the move is merchandising.
Truly, as long as Lloyd is in this review, your job will be spared, since we come for the snark and stay for the kitty...until Lloyd learns to operate a camera, lol
I feel so bad for Tardar Sauce. All she wants to do is sit at home, eat kibble and get pets, she doesn't wanna have to fly all over, go to shows, get manhandled on tv and countless press events...
Give credit due to Aubrey Plaza. Her adlib pretty much gave Grumpy Cat her much dry snark and attitude the Internet cane to know and love. That and constantly putting off Snob’s complaints by officially mocking the movie is a plus.
i tend to hate this kind of humor but just love how meta this is its shit in knows it and just has fun with it i especially like how it point out how dumb its own existence is and the whole grumpy cat franchise
I have a siamese cat too (a huge black one), and thankfully she's incredibly people friendly, because she could probably make a snuff film easily too (with over half inch long claws...)
This is one of my favorite reviews of yours. In fact, I got this movie last year and watched it with my folks on Christmas Eve. We laughed the whole way through. Thank you for providing an idea for our Christmas.
This is a painfully bad movie, but I will admit, they cast a good voice for Grumpy Cat. Granted, I thought Grumpy Cat was a boy with a Garfield-like voice, but I like Aubrey Plaza's voice.
Fun drinking game: Drink every time he mentions Lloyd and every time he brings up the fact that it is a lifetime movie... You'll be dead in ten minutes!
That Lloyd snuff film needs to happen - hopefully he'll forget to remove the tape from the camera before returning it to the video store, so that we can a Bloody Video Horror that made me puke on Aunt Gertrude twist thrown in. :p
Gotta love when a movie that has absolutely no shot at being good tries to be "self aware" of its badness..."We're so self depreciating! Isn't that SO clever? We're critic free, you guys!"
Grumpy Cat stopped being funny the moment they started exploiting her so much. Then again, if I owned a deformed cat and there were millions of complete idiots willing to throw money at me, I'd exploit the hell outta it too...
I Have to admit, this wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Maybe it's because i can such a low bar for Lifetime movies, but it reminded me of Garfield and Friends at parts. Aubrey Plaza gave a good performance too.
This...was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. Oh it was still bad, but I was pleasantly surprised and I got less of a "Let's point out how bad the movie is!" vibe so much as "Lifetime movie writers hate their jobs and finally got a single chance to tear into what they do on a regular basis so long as they met certain guidelines."
Lol. Loved the Silent Night Deadly Night reference for worst christmas hashtag brad. You are just so fricking awesome. Keep up the wonderful work and once again amazing video.
3:17 My parents named our first cat Toonces, both because he looked like the same type of cat and because he once got his claws stuck together, and as he struggled to get them unstuck, it looked like he was driving a car.
I kinda feel bad for Tardar Sauce: the cat clearly has no desire to be here, and someone is constantly propping it up and wiggling it around. I usually don't talk about "muh animal rights", but I just feel sorry for it (him? her? Never did find out Grumpy Cat's gender.)
+Jacob Smith It's a her, and a cat that does not like what's being done to it tends to get bitey and scratchy. Tardar just seems to be nonplussed, that look on her face is just a permanent thing no matter what her mood. Some cats just have grumpy faces even when they're happy.
murrfeeling I know that: I own two of 'em. And I know about Grumpy Cat (who doesn't?). It's not just the face though, the whole film feels like one of those home videos where you bob your cat up and down to make them dance. And not all cats get bite-y, I had one cat who seemed to not even notice that he had claws. Of course, he was a cuddler, but have you ever met a cat that liked cameras? Ok, stupid question. (Also, about naturally grumpy cats, I always wanted a scottish fold, the ones with the droopy ears.)
Well.. my cat is a complete camera whore actually. ^ ^; So I can believe a cat would want to "perform". But generally I just don't like animal movies because well... animals can't act or anything really. Or understand what they're supposed to be doing. It's not the basis for making a good show.
I've heard that Tardar Sauce (a she) is actually quite friendly and pleasant. She just has an expression that looks that way. A sort of resting bitch face. Considering that people are mostly doing things around her and are just adding CGI or at the most bouncing her a bit or holding her, the worst it could get would be some loud noises, some strangers, and some flashing lights, but I'm betting they keep her off set until they are ready anyway. If she's well socialized, she may actually dig the attention, or at the very least be used to it.
I'm not gonna lie, I really like this movie. I know it's not great but it's a lot better than I was expecting and sarcastic humour is very much my thing, so I honestly laughed throughout and enjoyed it immensity. It's become a yearly Christmas watch for me.
