    I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I actually enjoyed this. I thought it was a sweet and charming film. Sure, it isn't the best movie I've ever seen, and if I look at this objectively, it sucks, but I thought it was cute and humorous (at times). Gargamel really had me laughing during this film, and they got the actor spot on! However, I thought it went on too long and was overly predictable since it was in New York and the directors had no idea what to do with the Smurfs. I give this movie an EXTREMELY LOW Matinee.

    Funny story about that Smurfs episode. Originally the smurfs turned BLACK not purple, but black. It was airred in Europe like that, but here, America banned for obvious reasons. 

    Here is a snippet of an article from Cracked.com that I found about smurfs:

    WHY THE SMURFS ARE ACTUALLY NAZIS

    The creator of the Smurfs, Pierre Culliford, aka Peyo, was born in Belgium in 1928, which means that he spent his childhood under Nazi occupation and, according to Bueno, might have consequently reflected the spirit of those times in his later work, whether he was aware of it or not.

    We can all agree that a person's early years can have a great influence on his or her later life. It's like how the creator of Mario allegedly based his design on his annoying landlord, except in this case Peyo drew little blue Nazis. It makes sense.

    For one, the Smurfs are all united against a common enemy, the sorcerer Gargamel, whose large nose supposedly makes him look like a Jewish stereotype.

    Gargamel also has a cat named Azrael -- a name that comes from Jewish mysticism -- and is the creator of Smurfette, who becomes a vision of Aryan beauty after Papa Smurf "fixes" her with magic.

    The most damning evidence, however, seems to come from a comic titled "The Black Smurfs," where the Smurfs get infected, via bites, with a mysterious disease that turns them black, mindless and aggressive, which Bueno interpreted as concerns for blood purity. The book would not have appeared in the U.S. to this day if the color of the sickness wasn't eventually changed to purple

    Wow, you know, smurfette is the only female in the entire village filled with shirtless men. There is a reason why they do that, they're probable trying to get her attention because although we see

    They see...

    MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

    I watched this movie with my sisters and a friend, and I probably only laughed once. Then I just stayed quiet throughout the rest of the film.

  • August 11, 2011 at 3:23 AM, said ...

    YES- Co-Host said it best.

    They pulled a He-man and killed the movie for me.

    For me it's a Smurf - You

    Also they didn't have a "Scottish Smurf"

    It never works when you go away from the source material

    That segment at the end of the review was more entertaining than the actual freakin movie (had to go see it with my little sister)

    (Though I admit Gargamel did make me laugh, even though I was trying not to)

    great review guys, this film looks awful

    Actually, the originally Smurf zombie story, they turned black, and after they realized  it may have been racially insensitive. They then change them purple

  • August 10, 2011 at 2:26 AM, said ...

    I think this is one of the WORST FILMS EVER. To me this film is a utter waist of money, graphics, and most of all NPH. Neil Pattrick Harris can take dumps better then this peice of this -- and yes I know It is a kids film but still, this movie is a straight up F**K YOU!!

    Korey IS the animation department, haha. I definitely agree though. Give yourself a raise, Korey!

  • August 09, 2011 at 9:43 PM, said ...

    Korey, give the animation department a RAISE!  That was one of the funniest closings for a Spill review I have seen.  Major props to those guys.  Poor, poor Brainy tsk tsk tsk, lmao.

    I was thinking the same thing. When I saw the commercial. I was like not another one in New York, why it gotta be New York? Why can't it even been Los Angeles or Hollywood even?
