Sure, The Smurfs 2 is a movie meant for kids, not adults. That's no excuse for it being terrible.
Full reviewIn this live-action/animated family sequel, the Smurfs return to the human world in order to save Smurfette (voiced by Katy Perry) from the grasp of the dastardly Gargamel (Hank Azaria).
Gargarmel has created his own Smurf-like critters - the rascaly Naughties - but lacks Smurf-essence to turn them true blue. So he kidnaps Smurfette, and brings her to Paris where he enjoys adoration as a great sorcerer. The dastardly wizard plans on using Smurfette's Smurfness and the Eiffel Tower (as an antenna) to finally return home. It's up to Papa Smurf, Clumsy, Grouchy and Vanity to get help from Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and Grace (Jayma Mays) and save the Smurfing day.

Full reviewWhile it’s far from perfect, and may not be the most thrilling for older audiences, The Smurfs 2 is an entertaining movie with plenty of laughs and heart.
Full reviewSmurfs 2 isn't quite so good at appealing to adults, but it's harmless fun for the littlies.
Full reviewThere's a modicum of fun to be found in the blue-hued special effects, knockabout humour and decent voice cast.
Full reviewThe problem with Smurfs 2 isn't the message, it's the way the film repeats it so baldly and emphatically that even the youngest kids can get it.
Full reviewBeyond a few chuckle-worthy one-liners and some amusing visual comedy, there's not much to engage adults, although the wee ones should be distracted enough.
Full reviewThe little ones will respond to the cuddly blue rural dwellers. Accompanying adults will be screaming blue bloody murder.
