Being happy all the time, the colony of Smurfs was living happily - that's until Clumsy started the whole problem. By leading evil witch master Gargamel to their secret home portal, the Smurfs were forced to evade and run away.
However, thanks to Clumsy again, he ran the wrong pathway and got some of them over to the big city of New York. Gargamel eventually followed with his loyal expressive cat and continued his pursue to gain a Smurf particle for his magic potion.
Gargamel, played by Hank Azaria, is pretty evil and at the same time, funny and silly. Despite being the villain of the movie, Gargamel possesses a funny character that brings laughter to the audience with his hilarious characteristics and actions.
Lost in the big city and being so tiny, they eventually stumble upon an average couple - Patrick and Grace Winslow. Patrick didn't like the presence of the Smurfs as he thinks they're such annoyance with their stubbornness and happy song. But he changed his mind later on.
Grace, played by Jayma Mays from Glee, on the other hand was loving her new found tiny blue friends, especially with Smurfette. She took care of them, even making Patrick believe that they bring good luck - which could be true in some sense.
Clumsy's carelessness is actually a blessing in disguise for Patrick Winslow's marketing career. His boss is very proud of his work.
As usual in a fantasy cartoon movie, the villain almost got his way but eventually got defeated. Plain predictable cartoon story line, very easy to be understood and comprehend.
Overall, the movie was just a mediocre one for the adults while the kids would think that it's really entertaining. I thought it was childish at the start, but then enjoyed the rest of the movie.
One couldn't expect much from it. It isn't mind-boggling, nothing spectacular and the graphics were just fine. It's always best to watch the 3D version with animations but I didn't. Wasn't willing to spend the extra money on some kiddy animation.
The Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays combination is a good one. Both looking suitable as a loving couple with blue annoying "kids" bugging them all the time. Hank Azaria excelled well with his Gargamel character. The movie was funny at certain parts. Certainly a light-hearted show suitable for all ages, but if you're not a fan of such animation, you should just give The Smurfs a pass.
Noobie Rating: 6/10 (Watch is just for fun)
