'Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever' Trailer

I love the idea but most certainly hate the execution.

I'm a freak for any and all things involving cats, kittens and animals that are feline in nature.

I have spent countless hours poring over cat videos and images throughout my lifetime. My own cat might be jealous that I devote more time to watching cats get startled or kittens rolling around than feeding her.

That is why it should be obvious that I have always been in love with the famous Grumpy Cat (AKA Tarder Sauce.) The face just says everything each one of us is thinking each day.

You might imagine my excitement when I came across the above Youtube trailer for the Grumpy Cat movie coming to Lifetime later this year. Now imagine all of that excitement being thrown out the window when I pressed "Play."

This movie seems to do just about everything wrong. First off, the choice of the voice actor for Grumpy Cat must be questioned. Aubrey Plaza is great in so many ways, but her portrayal of Grumpy Cat is a bit lacking. She sounds like a bored English teacher who has had her soul whittled down by countless years of misery and insults from students.

I want Grumpy Cat to have a grouchier tone and, in fact, she doesn't need to have a voice at all. HER FACE is all you need to see in order to get what he is thinking.

The point of Grumpy Cat is that you don't need to add much else to make it funny. You certainly don't need a cheesy Christmas plot littered with forced internet references. Who needs the bad jokes when you can just see her face?

A Grumpy Cat movie should not be a cheery Christmas-themed romp through holiday wonder. It needs to be as dark as the frown that graces that awesome cat's face. Her face is a reflection of the twisted nature of humanity that we keep locked tight.

She is our greatest darkness.

Here is my idea of the perfect Grumpy Cat movie:

A bohemian twenty-something-lover-of-life is opening up a coffee shop in New York and decides to adopt Grumpy Cat for his girlfriend's Christmas present. His cheery demeanor and positive outlook on life soon fade as Grump Cat slowly erodes his sense of well-being. His coffee shop goes bankrupt, girlfriend breaks up with him and he has to commit petty crimes just to eat each day. He starves to death on the street and his corpse is then eaten by none other than Grumpy Cat. Merry Christmas to all.

Now THAT is a film worthy of the title 'Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever."
