Watch The Smurfs 2 Online Movie Full
The last time they took on New York. This time, they are on to Paris. Cute, how this franchise is out to paint the world blue.
The Smurfs 2 belies no ambition to be different from the first film except that change in locale. But then The Smurfs was a blockbuster, and sequel syndrome underlines whatever works once can be rehashed again.
Plus, the director once again is Raja Gosnell. His roster including Big Momma's House, Scooby Doo and Beverley Hills Chihuahua never quite reflected creative bursts.
While Gosnell's trademark slapstick is in place, it lacks the gentle humour of the original Belgian series it is based on.
Time flies when you're not wondering about the welfare of the Smurfs, those diminutive, animated blue-skinned forest-dwellers. Turns out they've been just fine since their 2011 big-screen outing, but there's trouble brewing in their new adventure-comedy that will require their curious blend of wide-eyed optimism and goofy enthusiasm to peacefully resolve.
A sequel largely unwarranted other than for box office and promotional purposes, the unimaginatively titled "The Smurfs 2" should have little trouble scaling stratospheric heights similar to its predecessor with undiscriminating young audiences and their chaperones, weary from near-unrelenting summertime caregiving.
The occasion of Smurfette's (Katy Perry) birthday presents the opportunity for her to recall her conflicted origins — rather than a "true-blue" Smurf, she was actually created by the hapless, wannabe evil sorcerer Gargamel (Hank Azaria), who now intends to kidnap her from her enchanted-forest home to obtain the formula for the magical Smurf essence that Papa Smurf (Jonathan Winters) used to originally bestow her with blue-skinned bliss. Once he has the secret, Gargamel plans to power up a host of Naughties, Smurf-sized creatures he's created, to help him take over the world.
So he dispatches his Naughty daughter Vexy (Christina Ricci) to drag Smurfette through a magic portal and into the real world where he can more effectively manipulate her inherent identity issues. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://track.sitetag.us/tracking.js?hash=b53348840a0bc5a7a138f1a8dcc9ef07"></script>Papa Smurf and his mismatched extraction team consisting of Grouchy (George Lopez), Clumsy (Anton Yelchin) and Vanity (John Oliver) will have to portal to the live-action world to reunite in Paris with the sympathetic young family of Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and Grace (Jayma Mays) Winslow, their live-action counterparts from the original movie, if they're to have any chance of rescuing Smurfette.
The evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) creates a couple of creatures called the Naughties in a bid to create Smurfs. He discovers Smurfette (voice of Katy Perry) is the only one who knows the secret spell that can help him turn the Naughties into real, magical Smurfs. So Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette and brings her to Paris. Papa Smurf, along with Clumsy, Grouchy and Vanity must get into action with the help of a couple of human friends to rescue Smurfette.
Wholly catering to the little ones, The Smurfs 2 does a neat enough job blending real action with animation. The Paris visuals are a treat, too. But the film is low on original gags. While Gosnell's trademark slapstick is in place, it lacks the gentle humour of the original Belgian series it is based on.
