| DeadspinWill LeitchIf your kid loves this, your kid needs to read a book, or even, heck, play a video game. At least you can tell video game characters apart. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyOne of worst movies of the summer: Lame, unoriginal, and not particularly funny. |
| Film.comLaremy LegelThe Smurfs ends up being just below average, it won't give you nightmares, and small ones might dig it. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonAs the Smuppets take Manhattan, the script runs a blue streak of snappy self-marketing and sappy smurfimentalism. It's all so calculatingly self-smurmotional. |
| The Age (Australia)Jim SchembriThe Smurfs will likely be the best, most enjoyable kid film of 2011. And, yes, adults have been catered for. Dive in. |
| Filmcritic.comBill GibronIt's one of the smurfiest smurfing smurfs you will ever waste your smurfing money on. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubOnce you're done trying to conjugate the smurfs, there's a better movie than anyone could have possibly expected, thanks in large part to an honest effort by Harris in a thankless role. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallI deferred to the wisdom of Grouchy Smurf (George Lopez): "I didn't hate it as much as I expected to. But I still hated it." |
| AV ClubTasha RobinsonActual kids may find this fun, but for adults, watching The Smurfs may feel a little too much like trying to wrangle an overcrowded kiddie birthday party. |
| Toronto StarBruce DemaraKids are sure to find it smurf-errific, smurf-ilicious or just plain smurfy. Adults will happily settle for smurf-ectly inoffensive. |
