The Smurfs 2
The evil magician Gargamel tries to create a symphoric, a new creature called the Knots. After forming that creature, the real Smurf can not give Gargamel what he wants, so he kidnapped Smurfette to force her to throw a mantra that would give Smurfs. The Squirrels with their friends Patrick and Grace try to rescue Smurfette from the clutches of the evil wizard.

The pacing is fine but the dialogue is trite. Older children and adults will also find the main plot and Smurf gibberish tedious, redeemed only by Azaria's performance and a sideplot involving Gargamel.

"The Smurfs 2" probably isn't any worse than you might expect. On the other hand, it's almost certainly not any better.

The trouble with this stunted sequel is that the doughy, blobby-hatted Smurfs are mostly window dressing for an abrasive slapstick bash built around a tiresome kidnap plot ...

The Smurfs 2 panders to children, offering nothing more than a series of fart jokes and pratfalls, for the obvious purpose of cashing in on an already established fan base.

Smurfs 2 just isn't an enjoyable time.

Yes, this is the point in the summer when I outsource my critical judgment to my kids.

Reluctant parents: you don't need to tell your kids that you won't love them if they like "The Smurfs 2." Instead, you can silently judge them until either you and/or they simply can't bear the thought of talking to each other.

Smurfs 2 isn't quite so good at appealing to adults, but it's harmless fun for the littlies.

IT'S a rarity, but it's nice when a sequel learns from the mistakes of its predecessor.

It would be too much to say that there's a good movie somewhere inside Smurfs 2 looking to get out. But it wouldn't be too much to say that sometimes, the movie we do have tries harder than we might expect.

Yay! The Smurfs are back - bigger, bolder and bluer than ever. It's fun fun fun, a more-than-worthy, hyper-energetic sequel to the fabulous first film...It's all wonderful fantasy nonsense, delivered fast and with plenty of self-consciously cheap laughs.

Not so much of a film as it is a collection of images and sounds that bludgeon you.
