When the evil wizard Gargamel once again attempts to capture the Smurfs to extract powers from them, these blue little creatures enters the human world. Now, they have to figure out how to get back to their world with the help of a couple of human beings.

I had a lot of fun with this movie, though, nothing really special about it, the humor was still there. Also, nothing special about the cast. Nothing special about the story. It was just pure fun and laughter. Indeed, a relaxing one- and cute! |

I started watching this convinced I was going to hate it, convinced my memories as a child watching the Smurfs would be tarnished, but, surprisingly, I didn't hate it. Sure, it's clearly directed at kids without much for the adults to be entertained by (except Hank Azaria's Gargamel, who steals the show), but I did laugh out loud a few times, and I managed to be entertained. Plus, who knew Papa Smurf was such a badass? |

I have a soft spot for the Smurfs and, really, this film is a pretty well-made picture. It doesn't dive into anything deep and is very obviously aimed at children and families, but the contagiously joyful spirit of the Smurfs shines through and makes the film surprisingly entertaining. Loved the brief shoutout to Peyo, also. |

A SMURFIN' GOOD TIME! |
|
When the evil Wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) chases the little blue cuddly Smurfs from their beloved village, a number of them are accidentally transported through a vortex from their hidden forest to New York City. Clumsy Smurf (voiced by Anton Yelchin) ends up inside a delivery box so his fellow Smurfs dash to his rescue, but end up inside a city apartment of married couple Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and Grace (Jayma Mays) Winslow. At first reluctant to have the Smurfs around, the couple soon learn to care for them and strive to protect them from the evil wizard (a gutsy performance from Hank Azaria who is clearly having a ball) and his cat Azrael who have also made their way to the Big Apple. The Smurfs is a fun and enjoyable family film. The smurf voices were good as well, especial... |

The Smurfs review |
|
Had a lot of heart and this reviewer used to love the cartoon version. The film however may have mixed reactions for the generation who grew up watching it. Patrick and Grace Winslow are having a baby. Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Grouchy, Brainy and Gutsy try to rescue Clumsy from humans. It’s the story of the Smurfs as they got lost in New York, and try to find a way to get back home while Gargamel captures Papa Smurf. Pace of the story was a bit slow when Papa Smurf talks to Patrick and the plot was light as the cartoon episode. The film targeted kids since its humor was silly but the usage of the Smurf’s transportation and weapons were creative. Another reservation this critic has is the lack of character development, though it did explain the nature of the blue fellows, only a few o... |
