If The Smurfs was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

An absolute cinematic disaster.
When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours -- in fact, smack dab in the middle of Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down.

Cried during The Smurfs. Mostly at the ticket price.

The Smurfs is 90 minutes of merch-tie-in with a story bolted on as a legal afterthought.

Hot Take: The Smurfs's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought The Smurfs was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Smurfs?
Honestly, The Smurfs would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Smurfs actually is?
Just got out of The Smurfs and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Smurfs?
Rewatched The Smurfs last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
