  Little trivia fact : in the original 1950's version, the "Zombie Smurfs" turned black, not purple. It was changed for the TV series, and that change was also kept for the reprints.

  You know, it's funny this movie has the same elements as Gulliver's Travels (which you gave a FUCK YOU to). Yet, you give this a rental? Did Sony come up to you and give you a check?

  @ Cilliandrew

   

  Look kids movies have poop jokes, Mr. Poppers penguins, Cars 2, Judy Booty and the not bummer Hummer, etc etc, yea kids love poop and piss jokes, that's been around since the dawn of time, it's not mean spirited, does it belong in a smurfs movie, well the Smurfs don't belong in New York, so all bets are already off.

  I'll tell you what I found mean spirited Gargamel getting T Bagged by Azrael, "I never realized you were a boy"

  @Saucy Pants:

   

  I think Mr. Dandy said it about as well as I could.  Gargamel pissing doesn't belong in a Smurfs movie.  I'm sorry. That's not the type of humour i would expect, based on the cartoon.  It's all about context.

  @Saucy Pants

   

  So you handed someone a bucket of poop on the way to your mailbox today? LOL  I think it's about the context of the movie.  A bucket of pee isn't so mean for say Scarface or Jason Voorhees.  It's probably just about right for a Monty Python film.  But it is a lot meaner (or perhaps just cruder) than what I think we were expecting from Gargamel in a Smurfs movie.

  When they announced this movie, can't help but think of that SNL sketch..."For legal purposes, 'Smurfs' may be changed to 'Blurfs'."

   

  Co-Host, you said all that probably needs to be said.  They pulled an f'n He-Man on us!  This could have been a really cool fantasy period piece with some heart and real adventure.  Instead, it sounds and looks like a (very) poor-man's Enchanted.  Imagine if Pixar or Studio Ghibli had gotten this film to make?  Now, like Transformers, a thing that I really loved as a kid will be remembered for this really slick and totally lame rendition.  Ah, Peyo.  Ah, humanity.

  All I can say is that my wife and I made points about what the sequel needed.  Also, and this is after leaving the theater just an hour ago, the Gremlins thing, Clumsy being the main Smurf, the BS about going to NY, and the stupid rap scene were all thoughts running through my mind.  Ditto, Co Host 3000, Frank was sooo funny in this movie.  The kids in my theater laughed so hard over him and his cat!  I want to see Clockwork Smurf, the little kid Smurfs, Father Time and Mother Nature, and even the two humans; why not give a nod to people who watched the cartoon forever ago.

  Really you thought Gargamel pissing in the bucket was mean spirited? Out of curiosity you don't watch many movies do you? infact you don't leave the house much do you, I've seen far more mean spirited things then that just walking to the mailbox today.

  I took my 5 year old to see this one.  At the point where Gargamel was in the restaurant pissing, my kid turned to me and actually asked if we could leave.

  
  That scene right there was VERY mean-spirited, if you ask me.  What does pissing have to do with the Smurfs?
  
  We left at that point.  My son begged me to leave. That's all you need to know about this one!!

  I snuck into this w/ a friend after Crazy Stupid Love...we went from really enjoying CSL to really hating The Smurfs. Or atleast I did. It was nearly excruciating to sit through it...I honestly don't know why I did so thats my fault. The slightly humorous parts didn't even really make me smile..it just made me think "ok thats something okay".

  Hank Azaria I just felt bad for..he wasn't bad...its just most things around him were. I did like when he was asking everyone about the Smurfs, and they happened to be talking on phones and blue-tooths and it was enough to make me crack a smile.

  It wasn't awful, and yet I was really bored by it the whole time.It starts off like shit, and sorta ends like "meh, thats it".

  Two sequels to The Smurfs will be good because that will give Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria bigger filmographies.

  My mom, my little brother and I went to see the 7:40 P.M. movie presentation of The Smurfs in 2-D last night.

   

  I thought The Smurfs was a very charming movie with a lot of funny moments thanks to the funny proformances from Neil Patrick Harris as Patrick Winslow, The Smurfs themselves and especally from the incredible comedy moments from Hank Azaria as Gargamel.

   

  My mom loved the move too since she loved the animated show when she was a little kid.

   

  I aIlso got some free books about the Smurfs in my movie theather.

   

   

  I give the movie 4 out of 5 stars. A Full Price!!

   

   

  Even though the novel of the movie says there might be one I doubt that there will be a sequel to The Smurfs unless the movie passes its 110 million dollar budget.

   

  The Smurfs has made 40,600,000 dolliars so far at the box office.

  @ F.E.D.

   

  Uh... yeah, that's cool... what the hell does it have to do with the Smurfs? Oh, nothing? You just wanted to let people know? Couldn't you have made a blog for that instead of throwing it here where it has nothing to do with the topic at hand?

  Kids like the Smurfs because they're all blue and live in mushrooms and have oodles of friends.

   

  Those kids back in the day grew up to like the Smurfs because they live in a delineated and articulated social structure with constant adherent conformity... and also because they have oodles of friends.

  I love the fact that when Leon brings up Doogie Howser as NPH's star power and popularity, Cyrus replies, "that was 20 years ago". He's right of course but, the same can be said of Smurfs (at least as far as their apex).

  I didn't know anyone liked The Smurfs to begin with... sorry. I remember seeing reruns on Cartoon Network of it when I was little... and I HATED it. My mom even remembers hating the cartoon herself so... no idea where the appeal came from. *shrug*

  Forget about the review bad or whatever, that Neil Patrick Harris and his pregnant wife bit was brilliant, sorry it's not rude it's just funny HAAAA!

  They needed a telescope to find a blue moon?  How about a calender?  Isn't a blue moon is the second full moon in a single month.... 13 Full Moons in a year...

  Good review, guys, but I just have one question.

   

  Why do those checks sticking out your pockets look so blue?
