Forget about the big blockbusters hitting the theater on Christmas day because there will be a holiday-themed Grumpy Cat movie airing on Lifetime. Appropriately titled 'Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever,' the first on-set photos have hit the Internet, to the delight of all who not only loves Grumpy Cat, but also memes in general.
The Grumpy Cat movie will impressively feature Aubrey Plaza's voice as the main character. Known for her blase attitude and sarcastic wit on 'Parks and Recreation,' she is the 'purrr-fect' fit. The Grumpy cat movie follows a young girl, Chrystal, who befriends the cat (named Tarder Sauce) after learning she's the only one who can hear it speak. The Grumpy Cat movie is set to premier on November 29.
