![]() After Smurfette goes up for boarding, she lands in a spot where she sees a pair of eyes. He sends his pet vulture Monty to go down and get some Smurfs. Meanwhile, Gargamel is continuing to do what he can to get his hands on the Smurfs. Smurfette is invited by Hefty, Brainy, and Clumsy to go Smurf-boarding with them. Papa used his own magic to make Smurfette good like the rest of them, but nobody is quite sure how to explain just what Smurfette is. Then there is Smurfette (voice of Demi Lovato), who was created by the evil wizard Gargamel (Rainn Wilson) from a lump of clay to go into the Smurfs' village and steal their magic. ![]() The film opens with Smurf elder, Papa Smurf (voice of Mandy Patinkin) introducing all the Smurfs in the village - Clumsy (voice of Jack McBrayer), Hefty (voice of Joe Manganiello), Brainy (voice of Danny Pudi), Grouchy (voice of Jake Johnson), Baker (voice of Gordon Ramsay), Vanity (voice of Titus Burgess), Jokey (voice of Gabriel Iglesias), plus Nosy, Paranoid, and Table-Eating Smurf, among others. So how does this one fair out in comparison to the first two Smurf movies with the first being awful and the second being a slight improvement but still lacking? Let's find out. While this film's CGI animation might not necessarily suit it well, and there were a few cringey things such as the thumping electronic background music and the "smurf selfie" scene which no doubt about it became horribly dated even before the movie came out. Growing up with the 1980's Smurfs cartoon as reruns, and having been a teenager/young adult when the first two live-action Smurfs films were released (which creeped me out at the time), I went into this one not really knowing what to expect. ![]() Nothing Smurf-tacular, but is better than the first two "Smurf" movies.
