Leave your thoughts about The Smurfs 2.
| AV ClubKevin McFarlandThe film undermines its rudimentary plot points at every turn with base humor. |
| Family Home TheaterJames PlathThe 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. |
| Black Nerd ComedyAndre MeadowsThis was something that you could have done something cool with. In there, somewhere, there's a good Smurf movie. But for some reason, the director, the writers..they're just not doing it. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekInoffensive but insufferably bland...while it will do as a cinematic babysitter, it's not much more than that. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneKristin TillotsonWill kids like "The Smurfs 2" at least as much as the first one? Answer: Is a Smurf's butt blue? |
| Paste MagazineTim GriersonSure, "The Smurfs 2" is a movie meant for kids, not adults. That's no excuse for it being terrible. |
| New York Magazine/VultureBilge EbiriIt 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. |
| ChrisStuckmann.comChris StuckmannThe 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. |
| VarietyScott FoundasThe genially goofy shenanigans, incredibly corny punchlines and Hank Azaria’s go-for-broke performance as the incompetent wizard Gargamel are very much the same ― an entirely welcome thing in a summer movie season full of so much apocalyptic Sturm und Drang. |
| The PlaylistDrew TaylorThe Smurfs 2 doesn't even pretend to be anything more but the most base, sugar-coated family entertainment, the kind of things that parents won't even be able to comprehend, much less enjoy. |
