The Smurfs Review

The Smurfs Review

Brief Summary:

In the ridiculously beautiful village of magical creatures, the Smurfs, who are all named after what they are/do best. An evil wizard named Gargamel wants to steal their power for himself so he chased some of the Smurfs out of their village and into New York (The Big Apple) and they struggle to get back into their realm before Gargamel finds them.

 In New York Papa, Clumsy, Smurfette, Grouchy, Gutsy, and Brainy find their way into Grace and Patrick’s home, Grace is pregnant and Patrick has been given a big job promotion.  After several incidents and Clumsy almost getting Patrick fired from his new job, they find a way to get back to Smurf Village. But Gargamel and his evil cat capture Papa Smurf, so Patrick and the others set out to save him, whilst Brainy goes back to Smurf Village to bring all the other Smurfs to help rescue Papa.

This film is fun, funny and just gives you a happy feeling. The famous little blue creatures have really taken their places in our hearts, weather there as sweet and innocent as Clumsy or as tough and outgoing as Gutsy.

There’s only one female Smurf in the movie, Smurfette, who’s voice was played by pop sensation Katy Perry, she was created by Gargamel to lure the other Smurfs away, but Papa Smurf showed her there was more to life, this was not shown in the film but was explained by Smurfette when she was having a heart-to-heart with Grace,

I really loved this film not only because I went to see it with my amazing friends but because it brings an important message, and reminds you of your wild imagination as a child, it makes you think about that, yes, there’s reality, and there’s crazy, wild, and outrageous and you have to have a mix of the both of them. It made me feel very sentimental and nostalgic as I’m sure it did too many others too, it’s really just a harmless fun film that makes you smile. The characters are just adorable and I’m glad they’ve put this film on the big screen.
