What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Smurfs assembles an undeniably talented cast of voice actors and live-action stars -- then crushes them beneath a blue mound of lowest-common-denominator kiddie fare.

Peyo's much cherished creations do little to nothing for me, and I can't say spending a 102-minutes with them in a live action-computer animated hybrid was all that high on my personal to-do list. Go to Full Review

The Smurfs will likely be the best, most enjoyable kid film of 2011. And, yes, adults have been catered for. Dive in. Go to Full Review

Jose Z @RT49054967 3d Con esta película me gustaron los pitufos y sus diferentes personalidades, un live action fiel. Hank Azaria fué una buena elección para antagonizar está película como el gran carismático Gargamel, me encanta su personalidad y la química con Azrael, el doblaje le dió un plus, se incorpora con risas inevitables al mundo real, se nota su obsesión con el poder de los pitufos, sus motivaciones están bien desarrolladas, se robó la película. Incorporación también acertada de los pitufos a la vida de los humanos mezclada con inocencia. Qué bonita química tiene Patrick con su esposa. A pesar de que Gruñón es negativo, pesimista y enojón es el que tiene la personalidad mejor construida y cae súper bien, los demás carecen de eso. El momento más profundo e íntimo fué cuando Patrick ve a su bebé, me encantó el arco de este personaje, es el que lo tiene más completo. Al inicio el ritmo va demasiado rápido. El guión abusa mucho de la conveniencia narrativa sin darse tiempo de explicar bien las cosas.
