What 6 critics are saying
Critical consensus on The Smurfs 2 is largely negative to mixed, with reviewers broadly agreeing the film is strictly children's fare that adults will find little to enjoy. The Paris visuals were noted as a highlight by at least one critic, and the blend of live action with animation was considered competent enough for its young target audience. However, critics frequently pointed to a lack of original gags, bland storytelling, and a failure to capture the spirit of the source material as significant weaknesses. Overall, the film is seen as unremarkable and forgettable rather than outright offensive.

5.0Wholly 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.

5.0All said and done however, while there is nothing disagreeable about this movie, there's nothing very remarkable about it either.

4.0Strictly for the kids, Smurfs 2 is average fare that is entertaining on a very basic level.

Film review ·
4.0The Smurfs 2 is an excruciatingly basic, bland and boring representation of a famously merry and meticulous community.

3.0More juvenile than joyous, the Paris-set adventure is a time-waster. Quel dommage!
