Review of The Smurfs

The Smurfs (2011)
6/10
Smurf it with the whole family.
1 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The little blue Smurfs are transported through a vortex from their hidden forest to New York City. They are pursued by their wizard enemy and his cat.

Take the kids and be prepared to answer a lot of questions. "What's a vortex?"

They meet up with the Neal Patrick Harris character and his pregnant wife. Be prepared to explain the "ultrasound" picture of their unborn baby.

The movie explains why there is only one girl smurf, a smurfette, but expect the question where is the next generation of Smurfs coming from to do the sequel?

Be prepared to explain why the "state of the art" digital projection goes way out of focus on panned motion scenes. That is also the answer to the "why does 3D give me a headache?" question.

Good clean fun for the entire family. Be prepared to smurf the song as you smurf out of the theater.

Based on the box office results, we haven't seen the last of this blue man group.
