"Best suited for the little ones; parents must just endure it for their sake."

"All said and done however, while there is nothing disagreeable about this movie, there's nothing very remarkable about it either."

"Wholly catering to the little ones, The Smurfs 2 does a neat enough job blending real action with animation. The Paris visuals are a treat, too. But the film is low on original gags. While Gosnell's trademark slapstick is in place, it lacks the gentle humour of the original Belgian series it is based on. The Smurfs 2 is just not 'smurf' enough."

"The Smurfs 2 is an excruciatingly basic, bland and boring representation of a famously merry and meticulous community."

"Strictly for the kids, Smurfs 2 is average fare that is entertaining on a very basic level."

"More juvenile than joyous, the Paris-set adventure is a time-waster. Quel dommage!"
