Evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) has plagued the happy, peaceful Smurfs for a very long time. Finally, he succeeds in chasing the little blue people from their village and through a magic portal -- which transports them to Manhattan and into the life of ad executive Patrick Winslow (Neil Patrick Harris). Only three apples high and lost in the Big Apple, the Smurfs (Jonathan Winters, Alan Cumming, Katy Perry) must find a way back to their world before Gargamel tracks them down.

Critics Consensus

The Smurfs assembles an undeniably talented cast of voice actors and live-action stars -- then crushes them beneath a blue mound of lowest-common-denominator kiddie fare.

It makes you think about deep things, man, such as your own mortality.

Peyo's much cherished creations do little to nothing for me, and I can't say spending a 102-minutes with them in a live action-computer animated hybrid was all that high on my personal to-do list.

The Smurfs will likely be the best, most enjoyable kid film of 2011. And, yes, adults have been catered for. Dive in.

One can only hope that America ignores this charmless, unimaginative, and downright traumatic trip through 80's children's television.

"The Smurfs" is so smurfing sweet that you'll want to smurfing puke all over the smurfing place.

I used to like this as a kid but watching it again as an adult, I have no idea what I was thinking. The character designs for the Smurfs are ATROCIOUS and the embarrassing childish pee humor from Gargamel was SOOOOO CRRRRRINNGGE!!! Man, I feel sorry for Hank Azaria now.
