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.

The Sun (UK)

Despite having plot turns as old as Papa Smurf, this movie does manage to entertain. Director Chris Miller, best known for Puss In Boots, throws in so many gags enough of them land.

Rated: 3/5

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.

This was such a cute movie. It was entertaining to my 2 years old nephew and myself. Definitely worth taking the kids to see.

It was awesome and so nostalgic. I watched Smurfs as a kid and being able to watch it in the theatre with my grandson was amazing!
