De boze tovenaar Gargamel creëert een paar ondeugende Smurfachtige wezens genaamd de Stouterds. Daarmee hoopt hij de almachtige, magische Smurfessentie te kunnen benutten. Maar wanneer hij ontdekt dat alleen een echte Smurf hem kan geven wat hij wil - en alleen Smurfin een geheime spreuk weet die de Stouterds kan omtoveren tot echte Smurfen - ontvoert Gargamel de Smurfin en brengt haar naar Parijs. (Universal Pictures International Netherlands)

This movie is a carbon copy of the first instalment. The Americans did quite a number on the Belgic original, turning it into a half live, half animated show, which in my opinion will make children happy but adults will find it horribly naïve. Which means it will fulfil its purpose.

I liked the first episode a bit more, but the main thing is that the most important thing hasn't changed - the absolutely perfect Gargamel, played by the charming comedian Hank Azaria, who really has no faults, and his digital cat sidekick Azrael. The story seemed a bit simpler and more straightforward this time, moreover without a proper finale. From the new non-animated faces I was pleased with Brendan Gleeson, from the others Vexy with the nice voice of Christina Ricci. My biggest regret, however, was that the Passive-Aggressive Smurf didn't join the expedition - he just wandered into the village and then disappeared from the plot.

This is simply a commercial calculation. The actors don't act, they just pretent, only Brendan Gleeson has a little something extra. The story has nothing to do with the comic, it only refers to the fact that Smurfette is actually Gargamel's creation. To make it super interesting, the story takes place in Paris. It's not interesting. The whole movie is a classic setup for an emotional calculation at the end, where there are only a few jokes that can actually make you laugh. But there's very little of that. I'm glad that there will still be interest in the Smurfs with this piece, but I hope that children will rather get into comics.
