Animation. Comedy. Kids When the evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) chases the Smurfs out of their village, they're forced through a portal, out of their world and into ours, landing in the middle of New York's Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down.

	Author	Review
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"On a hot summer day, "The Smurfs" is a decent enough excuse to haul the little ones into an air-conditioned theater"	POS
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"'The Smurfs' has brains, heart and style, which will endear it to adults as well as young viewers"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Adorable and annoying, patently unnecessary yet kinda sweet, it's a calculated commercial enterprise with little soul but an appreciable amount of heart	NEU
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"This animated-live action hybrid is really more 3-D disaster than family comedy. Even Neil Patrick Harris, who has proved he can save just about any sinking ship, cannot make this boat float"	NEG
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"This cheesy-looking flick has lousy animation, worse special effects and the most headache-inducing, blurry 3-D since 'Clash of the Titans' (...) Rating: 0 (out of four)"	NEG
