I did like the cartoon and comic books when I was a kid but I don't know if a quality live action film could really be developed from them. Both films are pointless and about as dumbed down as kids' movies get. She was great and extremely sexy in it (like always) but the rest of the movie was a waste. The only thing I did like about the original movie was it co-starred Sofia Vergara (like I said) as a domineering antagonist (Patrick's boss). The first 'SMURFS' movie was bad and this one is even worse. The film also gives us a lot of Smurfette's back story and introduces us to Patrick's stepfather Victor (Brendan Gleeson) as well. They're called Naughties named Vexy (voiced by Christina Ricci) and Hackus (voice by J. The film introduces two bad Smurf-like critters that Gargamel also created. He needs Papa Smurf's formula for creating Smurfs (which Smurfette knows) so he can extract the Smurf-essence from them (which gives him his magical powers).
This film revolves around Gargamel (Azaria) kidnapping Smurfette (voiced by Perry), the only female Smurf (which he created), and taking her back to Paris with him. I'd say it's even worse than the first film in quality, especially since one of my favorite actresses (Sofia Vergara) didn't return this time around. The film was once again directed by Raja Gosnell and written by the same team of writers (with Karey Kirkpatrick joining the team). It also features voices by Katy Perry, Jonathan Winters (who the film was dedicated to, due to his recent passing) and many others as Smurfs. It once again stars Hank Azaria as the evil wizard Gargamel and Neil Patrick Harris as the Smurfs' human friend Patrick.
'THE SMURFS 2': One and a Half Stars (Out of Five) Sequel to the 2011 hit kids' film based on the popular comic-book (which was later turned into a popular cartoon series in the 1980s) by Peyo (a Belgian comic-book artist) about little blue people that live in mushrooms.
