Critics Consensus

Antic and zany without being particularly fun, this incarnation of Smurfs just isn't the smurfest tool in the shed.

Audience Says

Thin on plot but rich in blue charm, Smurfs is sufficiently smurfy for kids and fans alike.

Kyle Smith

Wall Street Journal

When I first encountered them on Saturday-morning television as a kid, the Smurfs cartoons struck me as inane, inert and innocuous, and the passage of 40-plus years has not made them seem any more ane, ert, or nocuous.

Los Angeles Times

For the most part, “Smurfs” hews to the textbook silliness of CGI-generated action and attitude humor, only this time so needlessly zigging and zagging it barely has time to convincingly sell its ultimate message of strength in togetherness.

There’s nothing smurfy about Smurfs.

Shade Studios

The uneven mix of live-action and animation, coupled with a lackluster story and underused talent, keeps it from reaching the heights of its predecessors.

The Outside Scoop (Substack)

It’s still IP for IP’s sake, and — noting periodically creative animation and occasionally clever wordplay — I’m not arguing that it’s “good.” If your younger kids want to check it out, you might find it exactly entertaining enough.

Absolutely loved this move. Didn't even know it was out until we looked for a movie to take the grand babies.

Horrible. Why aching a beautiful story into a musical and this nonsense and adding cursing.

it was a cute little movie. I wished the writers would've kept the adults references out of it. Please let children be innocent as long as possible. Stop including adult sayings in their films.
