“No one expected The Smurfs to be an Oscar-worthy film and guess what, it isn’t. Hell, if they hadn’t already announced two sequels I would say most will forget such a film ever existed. The Smurfs is just a simple movie for children that happens to use a nostalgic icon that few are truly nostalgic for to kickstart a franchise and entertain our world’s young minds with non-offensive content. Who can complain about that?”
