A SMURFIN' GOOD TIME!

When the evil Wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) chases the little blue cuddly Smurfs from their beloved village, a number of them are accidentally transported through a vortex from their hidden forest to New York City. Clumsy Smurf (voiced by Anton Yelchin) ends up inside a delivery box so his fellow Smurfs dash to his rescue, but end up inside a city apartment of married couple Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and Grace (Jayma Mays) Winslow. At first reluctant to have the Smurfs around, the couple soon learn to care for them and strive to protect them from the evil wizard (a gutsy performance from Hank Azaria who is clearly having a ball) and his cat Azrael who have also made their way to the Big Apple. The Smurfs is a fun and enjoyable family film. The smurf voices were good as well, especially the legendary Jonathan Winters as Papa Smurf and Katy Perry as Smurfette (her line “I kissed a Smurf and I liked it” was too cute lol. The animation and the humor is both terrific and it features some classic '80s rock songs like the Run-DMC with Steven Tyler version of "Walk This Way" and AC/DC's "Back in Black”
