The Smurfs Reviews

Movie Reviews

• you may want to bring something to read in the theater, because there's not a whole lot in it for you in this big-screen adaptation of the 1980s TV cartoon

  by Scott Bowles [USA Today ]

• this animated-live action hybrid is really more 3-D disaster than family comedy

  by Betsy Sharkey [LA Times ]

• the Smurfs are still sickeningly sweet and upbeat. But if you've got kids, it's not nearly as torturous to sit through as you might have feared

  by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel ]

• recycling discarded bits from other celluloid Happy Meals like Alvin and the Chipmunks, Garfield, and Hop into something half animated, half live action, and all careful studio calculation

  Review rate : D+ by Keith Staskiewicz [Entertainment Weekly ]

• it might not be the family film least insulting to its audience's intelligence this season. Still, "The Smurfs" has brains, heart and style, which will endear it to adults as well as young viewers
