Review of The Smurfs (2011) by Scott J — 08 Dec 2012
An Ok Movie!
MPAA Rating: PG.
Runtime: 103 minutes.
Tagline:
Adventure doesn't get any bigger.
Plot:
The smurfs tumble out of their secret village in the forest into New York city when being chased by the evil wizard Gargamel. How they get back to their village while helping out a struggling couple form the rest of the story.
Plus:
Cute and funny in parts. The animation is quite decent too.
Minus:
Not a great story to write home about. Also, there isn't much in terms of creativity as it's the filmmakers have played it very safe.
Overall:
It's not as bad as the reviews indicate, but then again I've not watched the original cartoon much, so my review is biased from that point.
