The Smurfs 2

"Sure, The Smurfs 2 is a movie meant for kids, not adults. That's no excuse for it being terrible."

"While it’s far from perfect, and may not be the most thrilling for older audiences, The Smurfs 2 is an entertaining movie with plenty of laughs and heart."

"Smurfs 2 isn't quite so good at appealing to adults, but it's harmless fun for the littlies."

"A sequel that changes scarcely a drop of Smurf-essence in its winning formula."

"It's the same sappy drivel as before."

"There's a modicum of fun to be found in the blue-hued special effects, knockabout humour and decent voice cast."

"A painless holidaykiller, if not terribly worthwhile."

"The problem with Smurfs 2 isn't the message, it's the way the film repeats it so baldly and emphatically that even the youngest kids can get it."

"Beyond a few chuckle-worthy one-liners and some amusing visual comedy, there's not much to engage adults, although the wee ones should be distracted enough."

"The little ones will respond to the cuddly blue rural dwellers. Accompanying adults will be screaming blue bloody murder."
