I'm not sure making a smurf movie would be such a good idea, especially in 2011. If it was released back when the smurfs were popular, it would of worked out.

If it was released back when the smurfs were popular, it would of worked out. I'm not saying that I hate them, on the contrary, I used to like the smurfs when I was a kid. I don't understand why they brought them back. It just ruins the reputation of the smurfs. The people who would be interested to see this are little kids, which surprisingly makes a good family movie. It wasn't that bad. This got to be the movie that surprised me the most this year. Of course, there are some flaws. It has '' cheesy '' humor, the villain Gargamel (played by Hank Azaria) was stupid and has other '' cliche '' stuff that you would expect. This kind of entertainment is useless and annoying these days. Hollywood producers, directors or whatever, should stop making these type of movies. Also, has you probably already know, Katy Perry does the voice of Smurfette. She actually did a good job. But it starting to get on my nerves to see singers appearing in movies (it's okay if they can actually act), leave that to the actors. Anyway, I saw this movie with my little brother, and he liked it. So this movie may be enjoyable for kids, even I surprisingly thought it was better then I expected. At some points, I even managed to get entertained a bit.… Expand

A real disappointment of a story. I used to watch the Smurfs and they were fun to watch. It is scary that they have announced a further two sequels.

I can't believe I sat through this. This movie was so bad it had me crying. It was as bad as my writing. The plot was horrible. The voice overs where wrongly cast. There was so much stuff that was really unnecessary. Why is Neil PatrickI can't believe I sat through this. This movie was so bad it had me crying. It was as bad as my writing. The plot was horrible. The voice overs where wrongly cast. There was so much stuff that was really unnecessary. Why is Neil Patrick Harris' name in all his movies Patrick? If I where a producer I would not allow the actors to pick there own name. If the actor says otherwise then he's gone. I can see that the people that would like this are parents that grew up watching the cartoon. I'm glad I wasn't born back then. The story starts out right away when the smurfs are running from Gargamel. This is exactly what I don't like in movies. The whole movie had sloppy writing for the kids. I can't wait to see the kids that liked this grow up and realize how bad of a movie it is.… Expand

I feel that this film could have been better if it was called "The Smurfs, Only not the Smurfs From the 70s/80s That we Remember: The Movie". Seriously. This film slaughters the characters, weather you loved or hated them, that we knew from the show. If you thought Garfield, or Yogi Bear were a travesty of a film, then you don't even want to touch this film (not even with gloves on). Worst of all, the film uses an incredibly annoying gag that just doesn't work; this is what I like to call the 'mothersmurfer' gag. This is when the Smurfs use the word 'smurf' to replace other words, instead of calling someone a retard (NOT TO BE TAKEN OFFENSE TO - EXAMPLE HERE), they call them a smurftard. All the jokes that come from this are about as well written as a four year old's comedy act... If a four year old had curses and bad taste at their disposal. Its awful, don't waste your money, there are bound to be more family friendly films (that actually apply to the term family friendly) to show up this year. Skip this garbage.… Expand

Similar to "Alvin and the Chimpmunks", the film suffers tremendously with the fact of the several gags and pop culture references that they try to attract children to, that end up failing to draw up anything more that gags. Constant jokes of the usage of the word 'smurf' gets old fast, and leaves you wanting to leave the theater. The plot is horribly put, and suffers with any way of emotion or depth. Despite this, "The Smurfs" will probably entertain your kids, but will definitely leave you severely annoyed and wanting a refund. Not looking forward to "The Smurfs 2" at all.… Expand

When the movie came along to The Smurfs franchise I expected allot out of it, but sadly I was disappointed and expect we were all disappointed with the results. What we got in the end was an insulting child racist poorly done, lazy SmurfsWhen the movie came along to The Smurfs franchise I expected allot out of it, but sadly I was disappointed and expect we were all disappointed with the results. What we got in the end was an insulting child racist poorly done, lazy Smurfs movie, and its not worth your money even if you were to see it free. Let me explain why it failed so badly. It starts off in the Smurfs village until they are teleported into the city of New York for some lazy unexplained reason this completely breaks the nostalgia of the Smurf village making the viewers feel out of their comfort zone. Even worse The smurfs tv show was set in the middle ages and for some reason this movie is taking place in the 20 century, it goes against the tv episodes. A few of the Smurf, not all, sadly try to find a place to stay amongst the humans in New York, but because the story is so so poorly told it feels like its going another direction for no reason at all. Its basically a weak story when the Smurfs are trying to get home in between that time waiting for the portal to reappear the events that occur are so dull and mind numbingly out of place. I didn't feel any connection with the Smurfs and what they were trying to accomplish, and so therefore didn't care what was going to happen to the Smurfs in the end. It makes it even worse that the movie does try to make us care about the Smurf, with only some dull emotional scenes, shoe horned in. By the way the voice acting was awful, especially with the Smurfs. The tv show had likeable characters with quirky and unique personalities, and lots of humor. But in the movie we find ourselves with boring characters and terrible writing and there was humor which was terrible and didn't make me laugh once, not even once, in fact the humor was annoying. The acting is horrible, probably one of the worse acting movies ever, and not just with the actors but with the animation. So what you have here is a boring, shallow and uninspiring disgrace to the Smurfs tv show. Don't watch this movie, and don't support it in anyway possible, and tell everyone to stay away from it. If you have children and thinking of sharing the movie with them, don't take them to see this movie. Especially for your children, we don't need horror like this to torment their innocent minds. If you want to experience the Smurfs franchise then watch the tv episodes of the Smurfs, you wont regret it.… Expand

Formulaic, dull, painful and slow, "Smurfs" is a shockingly insult to the America society and a headache for every age. If you think this is overall a decent film, you are either stupid or mentally defective.

In reality, it deserves a zero. And that statement isn't even true - it's geared at the actually older audiences who actually watched The Smurfs as kids, since that's a very very old cartoon and today's generations probably don't even know them. Anyway, the film is just awful. There is nothing positive about it. It uses pathetic acting (mainly Gargamel and Sofia Vergara who is playing Gloria from "Modern Family" basically - or is she just playing Sofia Vergara?), horrible screenplay - the dialogue is pathetic - and it is just not very funny. There is something to be said about a film in which a character makes fun of "how annoying" the theme song is. The sad thing is - the song is very annoying (at least in the rendition in the film), as is the whole picture. As I said, I'd give it a zero, but realising that kids films are usually stupid as it is, I gave it a 3. Avoid it if you can, for your own good.… Expand

ShiiraOct 7, 2011

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hot on the trail of the Smurfs, the wizard has no time for introspection, especially in such a faraway land as New York City. He almost had them, but once again, the little blue creatures were able to outsmart their age-old enemy, escaping this time in "a mechanical wagon"(taxi), by the seat of their white pants. For the moment, while Gargamel figures out the logistics of corralling his most hated nemeses, the wizened old necromancer can bide some time, thanks to the fortuitous hairball that Azarel coughs up. Entangled in the cat's mucus, to the wizard's chagrin, are strands of Smurfette's hair, the color of which is not what Gargamel had selected for the girl's coif the day that he created her. In "The Smurfette", an origin story of the patriarchal village's only female member(an episode from the NBC animate series "The Smurfs"), we learn that Smurfette started out as a brunette, a Jew, just like her father, who resembles a caricature born out of German propaganda, the bogeyman that Goethke makes the Judaic people out to be, for the benefit of a roomful of terrified Hitler youths, in "Europa, Europa", by describing the Hebrew people as having a "high forehead", "shifty eyes", and an "apelike walk", characteristics that aptly describe Gargamel's somewhat grotesque figure. In "The Smurfette", the wizard makes "exaggerated gestures", going so far as "waving his hands around in excitement" over the "Blue Bride of Gargamel," giving credence to Goethke's lies about the persecuted people whom Salomon Perel, known to his Nazi teacher and peers as "Jupp Peters", actually descends from, in the 1990 film about the arbitrary nature of identity, and survival during the Holocaust. "Garbage Smell"(referred as such in the movie) is the imaginary Jew who "leaps at your throat", which Goethke, on bended knee, demonstrates by squeezing a student's neck, seated at his desk, the resulting consequence of what happens "the minute your back is turned". Goethke, the master of spurious impersonations, in that moment, is a forerunner to Gargamel, a live-action cartoon figure made real through agitprop rhetoric and hateful hate. In "The Smurfs", Gargamel finds himself in a city where he wouldn't be touched by self-loathing, since back home, there's not another Jew to be found in the forest, whereas in the "Big Apple"(while creating Smurfette, he describes her as being "three apples high"), the lonely wizard, for the first time in his life, would be among his own kind, because down deep inside, he wants to be a Smurf(read: Aryan), too. "The Smurfette" is telling. From a blue lump of clay, the Smurf alchemy that Gargamel performs is indicative of the wizard's deep inferiority complex at the hands of Papa Smurf, who has the cult of personality to rule 99, whereas his autocratic influence holds sway over a single mangy cat. Broken down at the elemental level, Smurfette is made out of "sugar and spice(but nothing nice)", "a dram of crocodile tears", "half a packet of lies", and "the hardest stone for a heart", an ingredient list that seems to have been written out by an Aryan. To Gargamel, the Smurfette is a sort of wish-fulfillment; he gets to live vicariously through her, because being blue is what he most wishes for. In "Europa, Europa", Goethke considers the Nordic race as the gems of the earth, championing light hair and blue eyes as being "the most glowing example of creation". Likewise, Papa Smurf, as a result of sharing the same Nazi ideology, transforms the slightly dowdy, black-haired Smurfette into a terrifying vision of Aryan perfection, introducing the finished produced as being "new and improved", meaning that she is blonde and Nordic-looking. Salomon, in his effort to be more Aryan-like, reattaches the foreskin to his circumcised penis. Presumed to be East Baltic, "Jupp" is barely Aryan as is, therefore, barely human, similar to how Smurfette's new family of blue Aryan youth considers her to be barely a Smurf, due to the girl's naturally dark hair. But for survival's sake, she seduces her blue enemy by acting the part of the coquette, just like Charlotte Rampling in "The Night Porter, where the concentration camper sings a song made famous by Marlene Dietrich(star of "The Blue Angel"), while dancing topless with Nazi accouterments. Since blue is white in the Enchanted Forest, the blue moon ad that Patrick Winslow creates and Odilie approves for her cosmetics company, becomes an accidental endorsement for Aryan superiority, or rather, blue superiority, without their knowledge. Papa Smurf needs Gargamel; the totalitarian needs the wizard in order to keep himself in power. In all likelihood, he created the Jewish bogeyman, similar to how the elders in "The Village" invented the myth of the monster in the woods as a scare tactic against their people leaving. Papa needs his minions. Those smurfberries aren't going to pick themselves.… Expand

The Smurfs has never about the run of the mill cartoon series back in the days it even one of the most
underrated series ever.
There's something about the smurfs that make you wanna smile every time you see them that also applies to this movie.
It's one of the most enjoyable CG animation/live action movie of the 2011.
I knew what they wanted,tried to reintroduce the smurfs to the younger audiences and also pleases the old fans of the series.
There are always alot of risks to bring back cartoons form decades ago and make it popular again
and the smurfs has proved again that they're truly the little people with big hit!
It's the hollywood writers that made this movie to be so scary close to the same failed formula used
in many similar films in recent years fortunately,It's the smurfs that's is the star of the show and makes
you completely forgot about how linear the plot is.
As I always say months ago that this movie were purely "Saved by The Smurfs!"… Expand

Its not a comedy film that all expected but its an amazing family film . The animation was so cute and amazing . The "Cat" was so funny, Neil & Jayma was awesome together .

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really really like this movie!!! Obviously, it is one of the best mixed films (3D animation plus actors)! Story, graphics, idea of subject - everything is so harmony and interesting, both for kids and grown-ups! So, thank You, creators, for making such good movies for us!!!… Expand

This is my favorite movie of the year, only because it surprised me in the way that it kept my attention all the way through. And it wasn't blue people racist.

The Smurfs first movie is enjoyable for the younger audiences, though most adults will think this is a complete waste of time. I got to give the film some credit that they at least tried to make this movie heartwarming and fun. The SmurfsThe Smurfs first movie is enjoyable for the younger audiences, though most adults will think this is a complete waste of time. I got to give the film some credit that they at least tried to make this movie heartwarming and fun. The Smurfs universe looks awesome, though you only see it for less than 15 minutes, while everything else is in New York City. There were many useless scenes, really corny humour and the ending was all cut and paste that ended too quickly. The only thing I liked about The Smurfs was Gargamel (played by Hank Azaria) and Azrael (voiced by Frank Welker). Those two practically got me entertained than the rest of the cast, even though some dumb and repetitive jokes felt pretty forced from those villains. The Smurfs is a film I will definitely skip. It's bad, but not extremely terrible.… Expand

I was born 10 years after the TV show finished and I watched this movie knowing about Papa Smurf and Smurfette, but nothing else.

There were a few parts that were strictly for people half my age, but I really enjoyed this, mostly for the fun of watching the animation. The Smurfs are all adorable, even Grouchy. They look pretty real, and really have spot-on voices, especially Katy Perry as Smurfette. The story is familiar but I'd prefer it over an adventure with Gargamel as the only human. I also liked the 2 Scooby-Doo live action films dircted by Raja Gosmell, and I really think he really knows what the target audience wants in a cartoon adaptation.… Expand

What remains of " The Smurfs " was only contempt critical of experts and audience , which is the reason for half the fun movie , but the other half lost rhythm , but excels in CGI Smurfs blue left but hatred.

It was all right. Really, the saving graces are Jonathan Winters and Hank Azaria's performances. The worst part is that song... It's played over and over and it gets REALLY annoying.

Watch it if you like this sort of thing but if you can't tolerate tiny voices constantly singing "lalalalalala" then stay the smurfing smurf away from this.… Expand

Some movies are not meant to be made. Simply too too bad, will leave a bad taste in mouth. Creating a nightmare with your favorite childhood cartoon.
