Disappointing but not as bad as expected
This movie is no Oscar material but it's not as bad as I expected it tobe after reading some of the reviews. Hank Azaria does pretty well as Gargamel and I loved seeing the Smurfvillage. The latter is what actually disappointed me in this moviebecause it's mainly set in our modern New York instead of in the worldof the Smurfs so you barely get to see this wonderful place. The storyonly has a couple of Smurfs in it for the most part and I think that'ssuch a pity! I especially missed Hefty, Jokey, Lazy, Painter, Vanityand Chef! I honestly think that they should have just taken one or two episodesof the t.v cartoon series and made that into a movie. I would haveliked that a lot more because it would have given us a much bigger viewon the Smurf's world and it would have created a more original plot forthe movie.

Great Adaptation, an Smurfs Spirit faithful
I don't have any children of my own, but I am a big child myself. Bornin the 80s and having grown up watching The Smurfs cartoon ontelevision I was really looking forward to seeing The Smurfs on the bigscreen and for me it didn't disappoint.This movie has got so many awful reviews but let's be honest, it wasnever going to win an Oscar but it can win the hearts of people whowant to enjoy a lighthearted movie with silly giggles along the way.The Smurfs stayed true to their cute and happy selves throughout, andthe voices of the characters were extremely well suited.I had a lot of fun watching this movie and would definitely recommendit.

A very BAD movie!
I wanted to like this as I am a child of the 80's and was excited to see that The Smurfs where being introduced to a new audience. I usually don't write any bad reviews, but I must tell the world how I feel about this movie. The worst. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Right on par with "Battlefield Earth" or "Catwoman". Yes it is that bad. Don't believe me? Go ahead and get it - don't say I didn't warn you!

Better than I expected, despite a dumb story-line
When trying to escape Gargamel (Hank Azaria), a small group of smurfs (Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Grouchy, Brainy, Clumsy and Gutsy) stumble into a magic portal that transports them to NYC. There they meet Patrick Winslow (Neil Patrick Harris) and his pregnant wife Grace (Jayma Mays) and....give Patrick the practice he needs to be a father "I'm serious!." While the Smurfs need a blue moon to get home and Gargamel "who followed them to NYC" is closely catching up to them. Can they warm up Patrick to the idea of having a kid "I'm serious" and also escape the wrath of Gargamel ? The first 10 minutes "or less" are like the show and have the Smurf Village, then the ingenious "being sarcastic" screenwriter J. David Stem came up with the idea to transport the smurfs to NYC. He also gave us a Scottish smurf named Gusty Smurf (Alan Cummings) that wasn't even in the show and him being in the movie doesn't even make sense when they are all related and no one else is Scottish. Smurfs being used for an upcoming father to warm up to father hood...is also pretty lame. As a fan of the show, I was surprisingly amused by a lot of the jokes though, like how they poke fun at how the smurfs use the word smurf...to describe everything. Gargamel's cat Asriel also supplies some laughs, while the movie has enough heart and charm to be one of the better films based on a cartoon series. Still, I have to ask myself, "who the smurf! came up with that horrible plot!", oh yeah, J. David Stem. I guess he was watching Enchanted while writing the script and thought "wow that same exact story will work for the Smurfs!." What the Smurf was he thinking!! I heard 2 sequels are planned and I really hope they just leave the smurfs in the Smurf Village, we don't need them transported to...Iraq "oops I just gave Hollywood there next big idea."

Where's the Digital Copy? Don't throw away the wrapping...
This review is from: The Smurfs (Two-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD + UltraViolet Digital Copy) (Blu-ray) I purchased two Sony movies this past week, and this movie was one of them. I opened each one up to look for the digital copy code... and didn't find them. The Ultraviolet sticker on the Blu-Ray case stated that the code was inside the case, but it wasn't. There was only a code for Sony Movie Rewards inside, but that code is different from the Ultraviolet code.After e-mailing Sony, I received a response that the code was on the back of the sticker on the clear plastic wrapping of the disc. Fortunately, I still had the wrapping of both discs, and lo and behold, on the back of the sticker on the wrapping was the code.So interestingly, the sticker on the clear plastic wrap states that the code is on the back, while the sticker on the disc case states the code is inside. Nice contradiction, but more importantly, it's poor human factors/ergonomic packaging design that deviates from consumers' expectations. When 99% of digital download codes (e.g. your iTune digital download codes and Ultraviolet digital download codes on Warner Bros. discs) are located on a sheet of paper inside the disc case, and you decide to put it on the outside along with a different sticker stating that it's on the inside, you are setting yourself up for headaches, Sony.

Way better than expected
Being Dutch and living close to the Belgian border I grew up readingthe comics about The Smurfs, called De Smurfen over here. When I sawthe first posters for this film I was thinking it was going to be adisaster - there had been animation films with the smurfs before andnone of them came close to the level of the comics and this wasn't evengoing to be animation, it was going to be half-and-half. When I thensaw the first trailers and how the characters looked much like the "newsmurfs" that were made years after the original series the fear for adisaster got even bigger.I went to see it anyway because the kid wanted to see it and to mygreat surprise the film really wasn't half bad. They kept enough of theoriginal theme and characters to bind to the original comic and addedenough human interaction to make it funny. Having the story take placein a place and time that is completely unlike the one in the comicsmakes for a big difference and gives space for extra easy cop-outs tokeep the story rolling.I guess the film isn't any good if you're not known to the originalseries and aren't a kid, but for my kid and me it worked.8 out of 10 cats with a piece of ear missing

Truly horrible
I never watched the TV series The Smurfs, because I was already anadult man by the time in which it was released in my country(Argentina), so needless to say that I never collected the toys either.In summary: I feel an absolute indifference for those characters. Inspite of that, I went to see the movie The Smurfs, and I found ittedious, repetitive and totally unfunny.I guess that the idea of setting this film's story in New York did notobey to a creative epiphany, but to the convenience of filming in realscenarios, instead of spending money to digitally reproduce theminiature village where the smurfs live into giant mushrooms. Besides,the change of location opened many possibilities of earning money with"product placement" disguised as comedy, but that is so obvious andbulky that it irritated me. As for the screenplay, it is genuinelypathetic. In spite of that, Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria managedto bring enthusiasm and credibility to their performances.As for the voice acting, I found it adequate, highlighting the worksfrom Jonathan Winters, Katy Perry and Alan Cumming. However, The Smurfsbored me to tears mainly because of its horrible screenplay andlistless direction. I guess I could have not expected more, becausedirector Raja Gosnell was previously responsible of the execrablemovies Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo: Monsters Unleashed and Yours, Mine andOurs (2005).

Good movie
This review is from: The Smurfs (Two-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD + UltraViolet Digital Copy) (Blu-ray) I think the movie is funny, the 3D is perfect and the quality is amazing! I just wish the 3D movies become cheaper soon..

Hollywood, stop raping our childhood classics!
Clever producers and marketers have known it ever since: when in doubt,take some beloved children's comic-, cartoon- or toy-franchise and putthem into a 'hip' contemporary setting (that's NYC or Los Angeles toyou and me). This has worked many times before, having produced suchmonumental box-office hits like "Masters of the Universe", "TheNeverending Story 3" and the record-breaking "Howard the Duck". Not toforget that epic events when Jason went to New York or when Mr. Beanwent to Los Angeles. To paraphrase a currently fashionable comedian:all those films were "WINNING"  and so is "The Smurfs".Hollywood, we understand that a buck means more than anything to youbut please  pretty please  stop raping our childhood classics. Mr.Spielberg, if you happen to read this, please: "LEAVE TINTIN ALONE!" Soas to not let this review degenerate into a complete rant: the actingwas alright (for your average children's TV-show ala Sesame Street) andFrank Azaria, well, let's just say that I liked his various voices in"The Simpsons". The real problem is the Smurfs themselves, who seemsoul- and lifeless as, almost as if they had been created by acomputer.How would I grade this calculated, corporate train-wreck? Well, I'llgive it a finger but it certainly isn't the 'thumbs-up' one. Save a fewbucks, rent the Hanna-Barbera "Smurfs"-series or treat yourself withthe original, "The Smurfs and the Magic Flute".I'll be seeing you next year for the Hollywood remake of "Asterix theGaul". I'll let you in on a secret: Asterix and Obelix go through amystical time-gate and end up in New York, where they'll be playingGuitar Hero  with a former child-star  and it's in 3D! But all that'stop-secret inside information. Now excuse me, I'll have to go and passwater over the grave of Peyo.

Blue Moan
The decision to take the Smurfs out of their land and into New YorkCity, judging by the first ten minutes as the playful blue creaturesmeander pointlessly through their mystical dwelling, was a good one.But the execution is something else entirely. And that's not referringto the villainous Gargamel, played by Hank Azaria with a fake nose andlethal CGI cat, trailing the Smurfs so he rid them once and for all.And in a non-violent way, this is what our human protagonist NeilPatrick Harris, as a climber in the ad business, wants to do: theSmurfs have accidentally entered his life, and with their singing andfrolicking inside his apartment  where his wife awaits their child Âhe's being driven up a wall.The settings are contained within this and a few other locations, so itfeels like a boring thirty-minute cartoon stretched into two long hoursinstead of a fish outta water odyssey, like the premise and trailerimplies. The only Smurfs who really matter are Clumsy (the accidentalhero) and Papa (the wise leader), the rest delivering lines here andthere, living up to their name/personalities but that's about it.Hank Azaria isn't bad as the bad guy, but his running around andconstant bad luck situations (ala Wile E. Coyote) get tiresome. Theonly suspense is centered on the Smurfs returning back home, whichtakes twenty minutes too long to accomplish. And if you take a shoteach time Harris points out how frivolous the original storyline of theSmurfs is, or how annoying they are, you'd be a goner.But now for the real question: is it good for children? Best let themdecide  but perhaps wait to rent the DVD, as you can escape intoanother room once it starts.For More Reviews: http://cultfilmfreakreviews.blogspot.com

The Smurfs
This review is from: The Smurfs (DVD) Great product! We love this new movie! My family was very excited to watch it. Smurfs were back from when we were kids...70's and 80's and to show it to our children now was wonderful. Great comeback.

Awesome Family Friendly Film
This is a wonderfully funny family film. There are plenty of jokes and gags for folks of all ages. And there is nothing inappropriate. No swearing. No sexual references. Nothing to make mom and dad cringe and silently wish that something had been left out of the film. Frank Azaria did an incredible job playing Gargamel. He got it spot on and he makes the movie. This film has become one of my family's favorites.

Still entertaining
Because of the bad reviews I avoided watching this movie for a verylong time until today when I just felt like 'smurfing' around.It was better than I expected and quite entertaining too. If you havewatched the TV series before this movie has a little more substancethan the usual run around between Gargamel and the smurfs.There are a few very familiar faces here especially with the success ofsome TV series. And it's a pleasure to see them playing roles otherthan what we know them to be.Watch it without too much expectations and you may actually enjoy thebanter, spoofs and self deprecation and have a smurfy time.

Blue, annoying, and practically force fed
Sometimes despite your best efforts a movie you just know is going tobe an awful experience is somehow worse than you imagined even thoughyou tried to talk yourself into thinking it might not be so bad. "Oh,this actor and/or actress is in it. Hopefully I'll still be able toenjoy their role in this monstrosity," is what you say to yourself. Itturns out to be all for nothing and even though that person you admireis in it, you're just left wondering why they're a part of something sohorrendous to begin with. The Smurfs is such a movie and I can almostguarantee you that you haven't seen anything as bad as this all year.The smurfs live in Smurf Village in another universe where magicactually exists. These little blue creatures are about seven inchestall that can sing, dance, talk, live in mushrooms, and are massivelyannoying all day long. The evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) isobsessed with capturing the smurfs in order to obtain their essence tobecome the most powerful wizard in the universe. During the festival ofthe blue moon, Clumsy (voiced by Anton Yelchin) accidentally leadsGargamel to Smurf Village. Amongst the confusion while they're fleeingGargamel's onslaught, they accidentally stumble onto a portal to ouruniverse as Gargamel follows in hot pursuit. Unfortunately for them,our moon never turns blue so they must rely on the assistance ofPatrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and Grace Winslow (Jayma Mays); a couplewho's expecting their first child and who are going through sometroubles of their own.If you weren't a fan of the original Smurfs cartoon, then you probablywon't have any reason to actually sit through this thing. Speaking assomeone who isn't a fan of anything Hanna-Barbera related, taking onefor the team or biting the bullet doesn't even begin to describe theunfortunate displeasure I experienced throughout this cinematicmiscarriage. The Smurfs does nothing but make a repetitive,never-ending effort to rub its audience nose in the fact that it'strying to be cute. It can't just show something cute and move on. It'sbasically shoving cuteness down your throat without asking in a ratherobnoxious and extremely forceful fashion.As if purely tolerating these tiny, blue kumquats wasn't enough, themovie makes it a point to rub salt in the wound before dousing it withlemon and plunging your exposed injury into a bucket of bleach. There'sa Rock Band scene where Neil Patrick Harris plays the game with TheSmurfs and they decide to add their own lyrics to Aerosmith's "WalkThis Way." Imagine the song with all the lyrics replaced with stuffabout sunshine, kilts, intelligence, being angry, blue skin, and"smurf" every three words or so. I recommend not getting nachos beforeseeing this. You'll want to pour the hot, scolding nacho cheese intoyour eye sockets just to make the torture on-screen be a little lesspainful.Looking at the movie from a critic's perspective doesn't even helpmatters. It shows you all the main plot points in a vision Papa Smurfhas at the beginning of the movie, so you basically know what's goingto happen long before you even get there. You probably already have asolid idea of what the movie is just by seeing the TV spots alone.There's also another scene where Gargamel is in prison in our universe.He has a conversation with a moth. He doesn't use magic as he doesn'teven have anything on him at the time other than an orange jumpsuit. Hetalks to this moth and convinces it to break him out of prison. How,you might ask? With about a million flies. Flies break Gargamel out ofprison. All family movies have to include some sort of bodily fluid inthem anymore. Crude humor is apparently the only way you can reach ayounger audience these days. So I hope you like cat vomit and a grownman digging through a vomitous pile for a few strands of hair.Is there anything actually decent about this movie? If you've read thisfar, you're probably thinking that. There is, actually. The 3D effectis actually utilized really well. Smurfs are constantly jumping in yourface and when they're not random objects are flying at you thanks toGargamel's magic. There's a scene at the very beginning of the moviewhere two smurfs are riding birds. That scene is pulled off incrediblywell as the birds twist and turn in the air. The perspective,positioning of the camera, and the way we seem to follow their everymove makes that thirty second sequence work really well. Neil PatrickHarris is probably the least offensive part of the movie, but thatisn't saying a whole lot. There's actually some really talented peopleburied in the cast. Unfortunately they're so smothered in smurfberriesthat you probably won't even notice them.The Smurfs is the first movie I've ever actually physically ran out ofas soon as it was over. It is downright offensive with how cute andcorny it is. With an overly predictable storyline, ridiculous plotpoints, and some of the lamest material to ever hit the big screen,anything remotely good in the film is immediately erased by theoverwhelming wave of force fed cutesy garbage. It's like having anentire jar of Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme crammed down your throat. Ifyou suddenly have the urge to see this movie, stay home and drink abottle of Drano instead. I promise you'll have a better time.

ANNOYING, FOUL-MOUTHED, POP CULTURE-LADEN TRASH 3 OUT OF 10
What happened to the days when films made for kids were actually good? Sure there was crap back in the day, but most of those bad kids films weren't nearly as worthless as The Smurfs is. The Smurfs is a dreadful, pathetic waste of time that reminds me why I hate a lot of modern films for kids (Much like how I hate a lot of modern romance and comedy flicks because many of them are also of very poor quality). This film also reminds me of how dumb people have gotten and how much I loathe this generation because not only is this film of poor quality, but it also has idiotic defenders who use the bull**** excuse of "it's a kids movie, so you shouldn't be so harsh towards it," which is the most infuriating and worthless defense for a film I have ever encountered and I despise people who use this excuse with a passion more than any other annoying group I have ever encountered because stupid people like these horrible defenders are the reasons for why children in this day and age are stupid, bratty, and why they are obsessed with cell phones, texting, and Facebook since they seem to believe that bad films that are detrimental to children are just fine and dandy. The Smurfs further adds fuel to the fire of Hollywood's creative bankruptcy and further encouraging the advent of people getting dumber. Now let's talk about why The Smurfs is one of the worst films of 2011, shall we?WHAT IT'S ABOUT: During a preparation for the Blue Moon Festival at the Smurf's village, the leader, Papa Smurf, sees a vision of Gargamel (An evil wizard) and seeing the Smurfs being put into cages and being held prisoner and fears what may be about to happen. When the Smurf named Clumsy wants to go out and pick roots outside of the village, Papa Smurf tells him not to, but Clumsy does it anyway and accidentally leads Gargamel (And his cat sidekick) to the village which gets destroyed. When Clumsy, Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy Smurf, Gutsy Smurf, and Grouchy Smurf run to a forbidden cave nearby instead of running where everyone else has gone, the group ends up being sucked into a vortex and Gargamel and his cat sidekick follow and the group ends up in New York and doesn't know how to get back and must find a way. While the Smurfs run from Gargamel they end up in the home of Patrick and Grace Winslow, who after a brief period of shock, agree to let them stay with them until they can find a way home. Meanwhile, Gargamel is determined to find the Smurfs so he can use their "Smurf essence" to make himself more powerful. Meanwhile, Patrick and Grace have their own problems about starting a family and Patrick's troubles at work at the thought of either being fired or being promoted. Can all be resolved before it's too late?MUSIC: The score is nice for the most part, but too bad many of the songs played in the film are terrible. Like the rest of this annoying piece of crap, the songs picked are in an attempt to cater to this generation's horrid taste in music which grew increasingly irritating as the film proceeded.ACTING: Hank Azaria does the best out of any of the actors since his performance did manage to make me chuckle at least a couple of times. I'm not saying the rest of the actors are bad, they're just stuck in a crappy film loaded with annoying pop culture, foul-mouthed, and gross-out humor all rolled into an already terrible script. The actors do their best, but they can't save this film from disaster.ACTION: The film is mostly just really boring to watch since it's hardly funny, chock full of cliches, and there is virtually no character or plot development. I didn't really like or care about any of the characters because almost all of them were bland because the script didn't develop them. The special effects and animation look nice, but that did little to add value to this film and all it told me was that more money was invested in the effects rather than a talented writer to maybe churn out a decent script. It's also really annoying just to add insult to injury, but it's more geared towards being boring.HUMOR: Unfunny pop culture references, dirty innuendos, the film is secretly foul-mouthed (The word "smurf" is used in place of curse words, but it's not difficult to figure out what they're saying), awful gross-out gags, and more. The only funny bits involved Hank Azaria as Gargamel.OVERALL: Make your children watch much better films that are of actual quality because you shouldn't make them watch this crap because you think it's cute or that children's minds shouldn't be challenged and be taught actual lessons. If you're one of those people who uses the "it's a kids film so you shouldn't be so hard on it," defense, you are a moron and thanks to you we get garbage like this and why children are so damn stupid and bratty nowadays. This film isn't worth seeing in the slightest and deserves to be ignored and forgotten.THE GOOD: Hank Azaria, the music score is good, decent effects, and the actors do try.THE BAD: Terrible humor, terrible script, terrible dialogue, terrible choice of songs, cliched beyond belief, it's annoying, and it's also boring.

Are you people insane?
When seeing the other reviews posted on here, I am absolutelyflabbergasted. I have no idea what people were expecting when a cartoonabout little blue creatures is turned into a live- action, familymovie, but to those trashing this beautiful film, shame on you.This was not a great kids' movie; it was a great movie. Yes, the storyis simple, but sometimes the simplest plots can have the biggest heart.There were so many moments in this film that were sweet, tender, ordelivered a good message that I sat back in amazement. I never intended to see this, but my wife wanted to, so I relented.Within 5 minutes, I was hooked. The animation, particularly inreal-world settings, was among the best I've ever seen. At no timeduring the entire film was I distracted by obvious animation; rather, Iwas in disbelief at the effectiveness. I felt that the cast was perfectand endearing. The film never pandered to the audience and was almostnever cheesy (save the Guitar Hero scene). Most of all, the tributethat this film paid to Peyo, the Smurfs creator, and the publicfascination with the Smurfs when they originally broke in the US washandled perfectly.How anyone can label this movie with one star is beyond me. Whengarbage is consistently shoveled at the public, perhaps you getdesensitized to what is fun and enjoyable cinema. I walked out of thetheater with a huge smile, and I loved hearing the children laugh andexpress concern at the appropriate moments. Perhaps those who havegiven this film such negative reviews have simply forgotten what it isto have fun in a theater, but I have certainly not.

An Enjoyable Fantasy
I was never really into The Smurfs and so had very low expectationsabout this movie, but my 7 year old daughter wanted to see it, so offwe went to a vacation trip to the theatre in Norfolk, Virginia. All Ican say is that I was pleasantly surprised. It's a movie that willappeal to kids most of all obviously, but still I found it an amusingfantasy with likable characters - both Smurfs and humans. On the humanside, Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays were likable enough as Patrickand Grace - the couple who take in a group of Smurfs who aretransported to New York City in a strange vortex that opens during ablue moon as they sought to escape from the evil wizard Gargamel (apretty funny performance from Hank Azaria.) While likable, it's fair tosay that Harris and Mays had little of what might be called "chemistry"- but that really isn't all that important in a movie directed to kids.On the Smurf side, everybody was fun and there were several pretty wellknown voices involved, including Jonathon Winters as Papa Smurf andKaty Perry as Smurfette, and it's fair to say that Anton Yelchin wassuccessful in turning Clumsy Smurf into a truly lovable littlecharacter.I would say that the "Battle of Belvedere" which was the final conflictbetween the Smurfs and Gargamel (with Patrick also involved) went onperhaps a bit too long, and there were maybe a few too many scenes inwhich Gargamel and his cats chased the Smurfs around, but overall thisis a kids movie, and to me it seemed as if it was pretty well done. The3-D effects were also pretty impressive. Going in with low expectationslet me experience a pleasant surprise. (7/10)
