The Smurfs team up with their human friends to rescue Smurfette, who has been kidnapped by Gargamel since she knows a secret spell that can turn the evil sorcerer's newest creation - creatures called the Naughties - into real Smurfs.
Young children should enjoy the special effects and slapstick but parents will mostly grimace and bear it.
It’s the same sappy drivel as before.
A painless holidaykiller, if not terribly worthwhile.
The characters set about learning life-lessons without much enthusiasm, presumably reflecting the performers lack of interest in the material besides banking a presumably healthy pay-cheque.
