Review
So the first Smurfs movie was better. But this one has more than it's fair share of moments too. Is it predictable Yes! But does it have a coherent theme running through it concerning parent hood and moral message that might be a bit hammered into our heads Yes though it's still acceptable and doesn't overdo it.
The movie is aimed at kids and while Pixar has shown us you can do that without forgetting about the parentsadults this doesn't mean every animated movie has to be like that. There can and should be movies like Smurfs too. The success was there but the rating suggest that many people might have watched under duress or being forced to. It's unfortunate if you couldn't enjoy some nice little family entertainment. I'm a cynic too but I could relax with this. It's really not that bad
