Like its predecessor, Smurfs 2 may amuse small children, but it's largely an unambitious, charm-free collection of slapstick gags and one-liners.

In this obnoxiously peppy 3D sequel, "smurf" is an all-purpose prefix that the anaemic script uses when words fail. Which is often. Aug 12, 2013 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The Smurfs 2 reaches an apex, of sorts, when Brendan Gleeson plummets from the sky into a dumpster, entirely naked and covered in Smurfs. Aug 2, 2013 | Rating: 2/5

"The Smurfs 2" probably isn't any worse than you might expect. On the other hand, it's almost certainly not any better. Aug 1, 2013 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Reluctant parents: you don't need to tell your kids that you won't love them if they like "The Smurfs 2." Instead, you can silently judge them until either you and/or they simply can't bear the thought of talking to each other. Aug 1, 2013 | Rating: 0.5/4 | Full Review…

While the first film attempted to have a wider appeal, the sequel casts a smaller net... It simply feels as if filmmakers took a step backwards with this picture. Oct 25, 2018 | Full Review…

It's fairly run-of-the-mill in kid's film standards, and the screenwriters' lack of willingness to include anything even remotely edgy makes it difficult for adults to engage with it. Aug 13, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

This was something that you could have done something cool with. In there, somewhere, there's a good Smurf movie. But for some reason, the director, the writers..they're just not doing it. Mar 5, 2018 | Full Review…

The pacing is fine but the dialogue is trite. Older children and adults will also find the main plot and Smurf gibberish tedious, redeemed only by Azaria's performance and a sideplot involving Gargamel. Mar 30, 2016 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…
